High quality materials? A thin sheet of aluminum case that bend easily? High quality? My 6S had 2 screen replacement with dead pixel. I cannot see it is high quality. 6 and 6P are far from high quality.
And no, you need to look somewhere else, otherwise you cannot make reasonable decision.
You can like your iPhone all you want and I respect that. I use iPhone as well, but I also use Android. I don't find iOS is so much more superior than Android not I find Android better than iOS.
One thing is clear to me, iPhone is not the best looking phone. The front design is very outdated with terrible screen body ratio.
That picture reveals very little other than that the 7 Plus will look like the 6s Plus minus the antenna lines as reported and that the dual camera setup made it into production. There could be more innovations under the hood.
Majority of people I know are going away from apple - overpriced compared to most android phones seems to be the main reason, I'll stick to my iphone for now though.
So your anecdotal evidence of one constitutes proof the 6s is not built of good materials with a high standard of manufacturing. And as they say about beauty...

That's not what I'm seeing. In fact my extended family of about 50 people have mostly iPhones with most people having 6s or newer. The reason "it just works" and support. Of course as in everything what you see in this big world....YMMV.
The latest data from IDC agrees with you. The latest data confirms Apple losing more sales and market share than anyone else YoY.

You just need to look at the iPhone 6 "touch disease". iPhone 6/6P are far from good quality.

So when Lexus issues a recall on one of their vehicles you can say the same about them, they aren't good quality. Or when Samsung waterproof phones aren't, they aren't good quality. So in fact any manufacturer that has a product that has been recalled isn't good quality. That about leaves nothing that is good quality.

And still managed to make $40B. Market share is moving goal posts.The latest data from IDC agrees with you. The latest data confirms Apple losing more sales and market share than anyone else YoY.

That figure might come down a bit when they pay their $20b tax bill in Ireland lol.
Would you rather have an 'exploding' Samsung Galaxy Note 7 then?

Changing the look is not innovation unless the look itself is or allows for the inclusion of an innovative feature. This is the problem with people in general, if it looks the same they automatically assume its the same phone. Take the 6s; its a huge leap in performance and functionality over the 6; 3dtouch, the M9coprocessor with always on siri, the A9 bosses the A8 in every single way in benchmarks and practice, plus double the RAM. the 6s is a huge leap ahead in technical prowess.
But no, it looks the same, therefore it is the same...
Others have already responded to you but I will add my 2 cents as well. What you mention are issues for you but not for me and many others. There are always solutions to them. As for feeling sorry like I said don't as Android may meet your expectations probably because they are low but for many others iOS offers a far better overall option.
Also please don't assume people refuse to look at other options. I may not have owned Android phones but I know many people who do and I have tried to use their phones as well as listened to their experiences. For me personally and for obviously many others iOS although not perfect is a far better option.
What if I am offline? Seriously. Nothing beats local storage and ability to manage file in my way.

Nobody offered a solution that is easier than local storage and transfer by USB cable.
Other solutions aren't any easier, it is just more of complicate way. Seriously. Nothing beats local storage and direct file transfer. Cloud Storage equals to waiting get hacked. iTunes still terrible.
My unscientific observations commuting on the Tube ( subway/underground) five days a week here in London tell me different. At least 80% of the phones I see in use are iPhones. More and more people I know are switching not only to iPhones but also often switching their other devices to Apple equivalents.
Only three countries that Apple is doing well: UK, US and Japan. Rest of world, Apple is losing market share.
I saw more and more people are switching to Android. But, three are still large number of people using iPhone.
Apple is doing terrible on developing nations. Overpriced phone with moderate hardware plus competition, Apple is lossing ground in China and India.
