how could you possibly watch both a small movie window and read a browser window at the same time?
----------
mobile screens are completely pliable. they bend before
breaking. a sensor can measure that force.
bug free experience on my end.

what makes you think iphone is resource hungry? it performs better on fewer cores and ram than android handsets.
6 should've had 2GB RAM.
2GB RAM is very long over due. In fact so long overdue that it sounds unimpressive compared to 4GB RAM Android flagships that will be coming out in 2015.
The amount of RAM has a huge impact on user experience. You're not going to feel the upgrade in CPU, but you will notice more RAM, when tabs don't reload constantly and apps don't refresh as often.

never ran into that on any of my phones. further it's not related to his claim -- that "too many apps" running causes his phone to overheat, today. it's bs.

iPhones are already more responsive than androids despite fewer hardware resources.
have never had safari tabs refresh on my iPhone during normal use during a session. iPad sure, iphone, no.
my iPhone 6 is fine to me.
2 years from now, I don't think it will still be fine, the way my 4S was perfectly fine for me last year.
But I intend to get a new phone every two years from now on anyway. the 4S i kept for 3 in order to skip to the main line pipeline.

Arguing with someone who was agreeing with you????
I've been in that habit lately.

Lol, what??
My understanding of the taptic technology is that, rather than a loud/strong vibration of a standard smartphone, that you could hear in a quiet environment from all the way across the room (quite handy, as I'm sure you're aware!), & the powerful vibration motor that can be felt through layers of clothing or even in a purse (equally useful...); since that type of notification, though absolutely perfect for a smartphone, would be simply untenable in a smartwatch. It would be rude. It would be obnoxious. It would be annoying. It would be distracting.
The taptic engine solves this problem in an interesting manner. Since, unlike your smartphone, the Apple Watch is in constant intimate contact with the user's wrist , a gentle tapping is delivered to the user. Inaudible & non distracting. Bravo!
Now.... how in God's green earth this could be utilized in the iPhone 6S, unless they're planning a paradigm shift where we all strap our phones with no case directly to our bodies so that we can feel a gentle tapping every time we get a notification, I cannot imagine.
I'm willing to hear your idea though.
Surely there are Taptic APIs in the latest iOS SDK, at least the watch version. It would be interesting to allow developers to provide tactile feedback of various intensity and duration as you touch interface elements on the display. The is one of the key downfalls of a touchscreen keyboard (not that I think that would be a key application).
Right... Because Sensor MP defines quality... For sure... Even if the optics and actual sensor sensitivity only really resolves to 8MP of information... Yep!
You're not really a photograph are you?
By measures of photo quality your assertion is false. Check it out.
Will it come in the smaller former factor still?
I Prefer my phone to be smaller like the 5s. So Unless the 6s is an upgrade for the 4s/5s users, I still won't upgrade.

Maybe with more RAM we can finally enjoy actual multi-tasking and background running apps.
Or apps that suck a lot less. Maybe with more RAM 3rd party keyboards can work around how Apple doesn't give them access to things to really let them shine.

The obvious one to me is haptic feedback when interacting with on-screen elements of various types. You may receive a different type of feedback for a force touch, tap, swipe, etc.
- Imagine that you're taking photos and the phone is ever-so-slightly providing feedback that feels like the shutter on a fine camera.
- The rubber banding effect when reaching the end of a list is paired with a snap-back sensation from the device.
- Interactive apps like games could certainly make use of new feedback methods
Just a few off of the top of my head.
