iPhone 6S+ is Incredible - Don't listen to naysayers

[sunking101]

I'll also speak up in favor of the iPhone 6s Plus. I came from an iPhone 6 and wanted the larger screen. I knew after about 2 months or so with the 6 that I had made a mistake in not getting the 6 Plus, but decided to wait until the next series came out. I'm totally happy with everything about my 6s Plus, battery life, smoothness, speed size, weight (and I always put my iPhones in cases which of course adds to the weight).

I'll now do my little happy dance with my 6s Plus.

Consider yourself extremely lucky that you didn't get the 6+. The 6S+ is the first big-screened iPhone worth anyone's time.

My 6S+ has the Samsung chip and I have not noticed any issues whatsoever with battery. The phone easily lasts as long as my prior 6+. Not sure why some others are experiencing differently. Maybe software issues?

...or groupthink issues

Your 6s plus battery life is Blevins better than my 6 plus battery life.

I was already excited about getting this phone but after reading this thread I literally can't wait!

I would concur with this... I love the 6s Plus.

I had numerous iPhones over the years but was a proclaimed small phone guy and stood fast with the 5s and loved it. Then I switched jobs and they forced me to a Galaxy s5 which I toiled with for 6 months before giving up and coming back to the 6s Plus. The Galaxy opened my eyes to bigger phones and made the switch much less abrupt.

My wife now has my old 5s, and when I pick it up it feels like a feather with a tiny screen!

So basically because they crippled the 6 plus with 1GB of ram the 6s plus is an amazing phone? It's unfortunate Apple routinely gets away with that

The 6s+ is an amazing phone by any measure, whether you compare it to last year's iPhone or a competing current model like the Galaxy S6. I've seen web browser tests and benchmarks comparing the 6s+ to the Galaxy S6 and for the most part the iPhone leaves the Samsung in the dust.

As for last year's iPhone 6+, it was not a bad phone. It mostly served my needs well and I really liked the large, bright, sharp display. However Apple absolutely DID go too far in trying to make do with 1 GB for one more year, and it showed. I was irritated like you are. I didn't regret buying the 6+, but Apple missed an opportunity to make it a much better and more reliable device.
