Let's see how much RAM they'll put into next iPad before thinking about 6S.
I'm not worried, I think our iPhone 6 will be ok for at least a couple of years.
By the time iOS 10 will be ready iPhone 7 will be out, so I don't really care about version 10
Well put it this way, you have the most up to date iPhone so why would you worry? The phone will be fine for at least 2 years and I assume you will upgrade in that time anyway.
The 6S will undoubtedly be a slightly better phone, it always is. If you are that worried you could always wait for the 6S, but then the iPhone 7 comes out a year later. There is always a better phone 12 months later lol. Just enjoy your phone
These phones are good for 3-4 years to stay current. The 4S still does well and is supported by the latest iOS. I used to do the 2 year upgrade on the subsidized plan renewal trap.
Every 2 years still seems to be the best for me. I am on the non-S cycle. So the phones I've had are 3G, 4, 5, 6... If the 6 had 2 gigs of ram that would be awesome, but Apple needs another selling point for the 6S.

Must Have latest kinds - 1 year
Geek/Gamer - 2 years
Tech inclined - 3 Years
Non techie - 4 years
Common man - 5 years
I don't care what the **** I use - 6 years
Your 6S will have 2GB of RAM but its design will be outdated in only a year
I am betting the 6S, if there is one will only have 1gb RAM.
If we get 2GB RAM it will not be till the 7.
Me personally I'm waiting for the iPhone 10 (rumor has it that it will be called the iPhone X and the iPhone X+ and that they are actually working on the iPhone Xs+ already).
But seriously nothing is future proof it degrades in value as soon as you buy it...if you buy the 128GB version though you can probably make a better profit in the future and keeping it clean and undamaged (by whatever means) helps too.
