Is it weird that I'm super excited at the lack of FCC and other regulatory logos all over the back of this phone? I know they've mentioned it before that this was a possibility but I don't really see or hear anyone talking about this. It's a minor change but the first time in 9 years. Yay! Looks great.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 6s First Impressions: Touch ID is Super Fast, Live Photos Are a Gimmick and Rose Gold is Not Too Pink

Nope.
To take a video you have to press Record.
Then you need to press stop.
Plus videos take up WAY more space.
So they are harder to text.
Live photos are way easier to take then videos and way smaller in file size. Big difference.
Fact that people will BIATCH no matter what:
TouchID is too slow
TouchID is too fast
TouchID is too slow
TouchID is too fast
Fast is an understatement. Press the home button and you're in; it's really that fast.
I like my new 6s Plus a lot:
- I don't really notice the added weight. Was worried about that.
- Touch ID is indeed super fast now.
- 3d touch is cool, but I hope more apps jump in soon.
- General quality control seems great. No flaws at all that I can detect on my iPhone (remembering the 5 scratches all over the place or the 4s with its too warm displays).
- Got a silver one, rose gold WAS too pink for me, even in-store, but that's just me.

it's also easy to turn off at the top. Just touch the little circle if you don't want. I think you can turn it off by default and then use the circle to toggle. I like them. I'm wondering if people with older iPhone can see them. I like them. Hoping more apps use the API Apple is releasing to use them.
Well, they are not videos, they are photos. You take them when you want to take a photo, not a video.
I can't speak for everyone but I wasn't bitching. I was mentioning it because so far it is the most notable thing I've noticed in comparison with my 6+.
Appears to me that Live Photos would benefit from the use of a tripod in order to obtain the motionless background characteristics that Apple displayed during the release.
So far, I'm happy with the new 6s. It is a bit faster, but nearly imperceptible unless you are trying to measure speed because the 6 was already fast. I compared photos taken with both with the same exposure settings: 1/40, ISO 200 and the 8 megapixel image from the Iphone 6 is slightly sharper. At that ISO, there isn't any additional detail gathering ability with the 12 megapixel sensor from the 6s that I can see. Noise is similar so the increased megapixel count is nothing more than a number on paper at this point IMO. Of course, there might be *slight* additional detail at the lower ISO's but I am skeptical. I do wish the 6s was as sharp as the 6. I suspect slightly heavier noise reduction to maintain perceived image quality which lowers image sharpness. Overall, satisfied with the upgrade. I do agree the live pictures is a gimmick (like on the Lumia's and countless other smartphones before the 6s).
What's with the second box? It looks badly photoshopped, it's not even the same image.
Touch ID is too fast??? Try using a different finger or change how you press the home button by repositioning your finger at an angle slightly? Problem solved! 
I'm holding mine in my hand any one who has the rose gold would have to agree it is a genuine representation of rose gold. In brighter light like sunlight for instance it's straight up a dull peach
I usually base most things on artifacts almost 4,000 years old thank god you brought that upIf anyone thinks Apple created the Rose Gold color, this 3,350 year old belt buckle was found in King Tutankhamun's tomb, it's made with Rose Gold.
