Wish people would get over the vertical video crap.
Its a test video - its easier to just load up camera and shoot rather than rotate or even turn off rotation lock to turn it. No one died. This isn't a professional video.
Get over it sheesh.
Your moaning is worse than the vertical videos.

They look horrible tbh - too much filtering going on.
Serious???It has one core less and is on par with the iPad Air 2
Serious???
Damn I want to smash my iPhone 6 PLUS!
Not as expected as a 4K picture. Not so awesome, maybe a little bit worse than iPhone 6 Plus. I mean, the quality.
Looks like it won't be replacing my full frame camera.
Noisy and washed-out low-light photos. I must say I'm not impressed.

why are the photos so horrible looking? is it the photographer/lighting?

You can't auto rotate a physical sensor built into the board... well you can but you have to use your hands and brain. Its not hard and not that difficult to hold. People don't have a problem with point and shoot or dslr cameras... they too would be easier to hold portrait but you know that the output would be wrong. same as a phone.
Washed out photos look over processed again by the noise reduction algorithm, not upgrading again...
Same thing as the previous 6 & 6+
I will keep my 5s another year to see if they decide to "really" improve the camera.

I think the reason for vertical videos is (partly) Apple. Look at their website. ALL pictures of the iPhone camera (video + photo functions) show it vertically. Look at their promo videos. ALL people shooting videos are holding it vertically. Maybe somebody should tell Apple about that.
Other than that: iPhone 6s (and iPhone 6s Plus) shoots 4K videos ONLY with 30 frames per second (and interlaced, not progressive; I'd call that "4K-ready"). You need additional equipment (new TV set!) for being able to watch your 4K videos in full resolution. You have to sit way too close in front of a monitor for being able to see a difference between HD and UHD (=4K) in moving pictures. The NEW Apple TV does NOT support 4K video! (I still have no clue how to bring the iPhone 6s's 4K on a tv set… HDMI cable?)
Even the OLD Apple TV (and your maybe even more than five year old tv set) supports 1080p60 videos (iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus; and as an option of the new iPhones) easily. Those sixty frames per second progressive (I'd call that "full HD+") are much more important than that 4K crap in my honest opinion. For me personally the only benefit of the iPhone 6s Plus could be the optical image stabilization which works even on videos (iPhone 6 Plus: optical stabilization only for photos) but I'll have to try that out first for being able to judge.
But the digital image stabilization of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus works great already for videos (try that out please, you have to activate 60 fps in the iOS settings; it's 30 fps per default and it switches back to 30 fps when you update to iOS 9). I doubt that the iPhone 6s supports digital image stabilization in 4K videos.

Sigh, someone should tell her to never shoot video in portrait mode.
Exactly. This is so sad. The "raw" pictures look awful too

I just sent this through apple's feature request form:
Someone just posted a 4k video using the 6s and its shot vertical! Help stop the madness!
A simple fix to the problem is when people switch to video, the image on the screen outputs as it would look on a real world tv screen.
So if someone launches in portrait the video rotates to show a small vertical strip on their screen. This will trigger them to rotate and shoot the video correctly.
You can also have a rotate arrow in the corner for people who intentionally want to shoot portrait to rotate the image back to full screen.
Please add this simple enhancement to educate the world on how to use the video feature correctly.
If anyone wants to join the movement send your message to apple here:

Dunno why Apple doesn't just add the noise reduction as a filter when you edit photos, rather than forcing it on us.
do those benchmark scores mean that the iPhone 6s will function at the same speed as the iPhone 6 in low power mode?!
It's a camera in a phone, you're expecting WAAAY too much.
At best a camera phone requires 4X the resolution just to compensate for the crappy low-light performance. 12Megapixels won't give you a picture better than a 4K sensor in a DSLR. The sensor size in a iPhone is the same general size as a 8mm film camera. CMOS camera's rolling shutters also don't produce good video at all when the subject is moving.
Like, optimistically the camera in a camera phone is meant to take impulse pictures and 30 second videos. It's not a DSLR or a professional video camera which have costs in the 5 digits.
People expecting to take theatrical level video or professional grade photos on their smartphone are way too optimistic.
Anyone judging the video quality and capabilities of the 6s from this video should stay with whatever phone they have because they clearly have no clue how to shoot or use this camera to its true potential.
Love the dog. And oh Apple, why no black bezel? I totally would have gone pink.
