true. having an entire year to learn how to hold the phone worked very well for 4s users.
I just sold my unlocked Verizon 64GB space gray iP6+on ebay for $665 shipped. Took 1 day.
I looked at glyde.com and some other options but this was the best way to unload it. Bought a Note 4 to give it a try since it was between the Note 4 and iP6+ last year for me. $400 for the Note 4 and still have $250 left over to pretty much pay for the wife's iphone 6 or iPhone 6s upgrade.
Sold my old iP5 for $175 and will sell her iP5 as well after her upgrade.

That is another aspect, though the camera module is a bit smaller than the home button.
Correction. I like my phone thin but the iPhone 6 screen size is the sweet spot for screen size for me. Don't want it bigger or smaller.
Now this is innovation! Slight differences in the "S" line, resulting in people having to buy new cases! The days of using your non "s" model case are over people! Though apart from the unit will look identical 
This is a dream come true for accessory makers. Wonder if apple will release updates genuine accessories.

I wan ta SMALL phone. One that I can operate with one hand. BMW now makes 37 different model. Why does Apple only make large and supersize?
Going forward, a standard, a plus, and a smaller C and just discarding last year's models should pretty much cater to everyone.
But me, I hate thinness. I hate that the battery is getting smaller. I hate that my iPad is so thin that touching it in the wrong place makes the screen distort. Apple needs to get over its obsession with making things thinner.
Whats more funny is that macrumorers still complain.
Make it slimmer.... Complain...
Make it thinker.... Complain...
I still have my doubts that the phone will be thicker, look at all the prior iPhone Keynotes and they always tout how they are slimmer and thinner than last years, they even post the dimensions on the overhead screen, so how are they going to explain that the phone is thicker...."so we added force touch and it only made the phone slightly thicker so it's the same feel you loved in the iPhone 6". It makes no sense the only way they could justify the thicker dimensions is if the battery size increased dramatically.
ThaT's true, because the camera would have to pushed down slightly (probably less than one 1mm, but still
, to accomodate the screen's thickness.
For months, rumors have indicated the upcoming "iPhone 6s" may be slightly thicker and larger than its predecessor, likely due to several factors including a change in the aluminum being used for the shell, thickening of weak spots in the case to help address concerns over bending, and new support for Force Touch functionality in the display. The size increase is expected to be only a fraction of a millimeter in each dimension, making it virtually unnoticeable to users and allowing most iPhone 6 accessories to continue to work with the iPhone 6s.
MacRumors has now received several photos showing an iPhone 6s assembled from parts, allowing full measurements of the device to be taken. Of most interest has been the thickness of the device, and photos show the iPhone 6s measuring 7.08 mm thick compared to Apple's official measurement of 6.9 mm on the iPhone 6. This is in line with previous rumors claiming that each of the new models will be roughly 0.2 mm thicker than the current iPhones, with the iPhone 6s Plus moving to 7.3 mm thick from 7.1 mm.
The new photos also reveal slight increases for the height and width of the iPhone 6s, with the device measuring 138.19 mm tall and 67.68 mm wide, compared to 138.1 mm and 67.0 mm for the corresponding measurements on the iPhone 6. Since the height and width of the device are determined solely by the rear shell, we can also compare these measurements to those taken by Unbox Therapy last month. Those measurements came in at 138.26 mm tall and 67.16 mm wide.
KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had predicted as early as mid-June that the iPhone 6s could be roughly 0.15 mm taller and wider and 0.2 mm thicker than the iPhone 6, and while there is some variability in measurements likely due in large part to the relatively low quality digital calipers being used for measurements, they do suggest there may indeed be a slight increase in each dimension.
On a percentage basis, the thickness would see the biggest increase of nearly 3 percent, matching the iPhone 6 Plus thickness. That increase could be enough to prevent some tight-fitting iPhone 6 cases from fitting the 6s, but many cases should have enough wiggle room to accommodate the new models.
Case makers such as Spigen are already announcing cases designed specifically for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, suggesting they are confident in rumors and leaks pointing toward slight size changes, and making early announcements of cases specific to the new models gives the company some additional marketing buzz headed into the release.
Apple will introduce the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus at a media event scheduled for next Wednesday, September 9, an event that is becoming increasingly jam-packed amid reports of unveilings of a new Apple TV, the long-rumored iPad Pro, and a thinner iPad mini 4. Apple Watch tidbits such as new Sport Band color options and final looks at iOS 9 and watchOS 2 before their public launches are also likely to be included.
