You might want to go and research the "minor update"...
Improvements to existing features are in fact considered "minor"

Just because the camera has more megapixels, the cpu/gpu are a bit faster, and touch id is slightly better, those are considered INCREMENTAL upgrades, not major changes

3D touch is simply something to make you do things faster than you were able to do before, therefore its not revolutionary

It is well known that major upgrades happen during the 5/6/7 phase, not the minor S changes

So maybe you should do research yourself before making such ridiculous comments
 
Minor ? are you kidding or lack of information

12 MP camera over an 8 MP

Better screen

Improved TouchID

Better front camera (5 mp) over the others

Faster CPU/GPU

Improved and strengthen body

2 GB memory over 1 GB

3D Touch

and a minor upgrade to the color

Sorry, screen resolution is the same as the 6 - 326 ppi.

Totally wrong, the 5/6/maybe 7 will be minor updates with a major cosmetic change.

The major updates to the internals happened with the 4s/5s and now 6s. These are the updates that change performance which isn't "ridiculous".

Historically, the S variants were always minor bumps and only slightly improved the performance if you actually have followed Apple from the beginning. Not until the 5S did the switch happen where the S variants became substantially bigger jumps than the non-S versions. So we are both correct to an extent.
