Agreed. This is by far the best upgrade. This thing is 10x better than the 6.

Not going to lie but this may be the best iPhone upgrade

All new phones are fast.
I am looking for refinements and efficiency. That means iOS 9.1.
You are awesome dumy, I absolutely love your enthusiasm.. Genuine question, what do you think of the screen against for example an s6 which display mate said and I quote, was perfect...
AMOLED isn't everyone's cup of tea.
And Touchwiz still sucks. Yes, Samsung has trimmed it down since S4, but it's still icky compared to other variants of Android.
Might I also add that Samsung is the laziest(?) one among the Android phone manufacturers to roll out OS updates. Many users still haven't got their Lollipop, and Marshmallow is already knocking on the door now.
I wasn't talking about TW, but it's obvious you having used it for a couple of years.. Its so light these days.. But that's by the by.. The question was about the screen, whether you like it or not the s6 has a gamut accuracy of 160% , there is nothing in the market remotely close to that.. The 6s isn't even in the top 5 for accuracy.. Measured by scientific equolment not brand bias...I'm just interested if the most biased poster MR has ever known will admit that one of these competitors that are light years behind has a significant advantage in one of the most important aspects of a handset.. And that's before we mention the s6 edge which is undeniably the prettiest design ever seen in a handset.. Or the camera/video advantage.. Where in another thread, serious camera professionals are discussing with great technical terms how the 6s is vastly inferior to the 6 month old s6.. We won't mention.the stolen gimmick that is live pictures.. So with that in mind, I'd really love to know how the 6s is light years ahead ?AMOLED isn't everyone's cup of tea.

I'm just totally digging how the 6s Plus feels to use. Unlocking the phone and jumping from app to app, web page to web page, etc. is buttery smooth. The CPU and RAM bump made a ton of difference. It was the one area the iPhone was previously not quite there. Also I think a lot of the crashing on the 6 Plus was because not enough RAM to work with. This latest upgrade took care of all that and then some. Browsing and tab switching is now as fast as a modern PC. Nicely done Apple.
Definitely! I went from the 6+ to 6s. Performance, one handed usage and 3D Touch is what I love about this iteration!
Haven't been this excited about iPhones since iphone 5!)

Without question this is the best upgrade yet by a more significant margin than any S upgrade before. I could not go back to my 6. This is just a dream to use.

I think putting up with the poor performance of the 6 Plus has made me appreciate this upgrade that much more. I've been exciting like a little kid on christmas ever since I got it. It just feels so good to have everything fluid, smoothy, and snappy again. Reminded me why I buy iPhones over the competition.
to stop the lag/freezes, restore your phone through iTunes and restore Backup through iTunes. All your problems will be solved.
tried this last night and the lag/freezes disappeared.
