I know some mirrorless company (can't remember which) does a good job with combining shots using the offset from the OIS, so the tech is there for at least that kind of single lens implementation that can increase resolution.
do you mean, High Resolutuon Composite? the Oly OMD-EM5 II first offered it. however, it's done using senor-shift via its 5-axis IBIS. therefore, not OIS. so, unless Apple decides to switch from OIS to IBIS, they may not be able to accomplish that. and I'd much prefer OIS especially for video.

My opinion on the last pictures is the 6s Plus photo looks a tad bit more natural, colors are certainly more real and the Note 5 photo is a bit over saturated. If you look at the signs, you can see the colors are very bright and not nearly as easy to read. However, they are very close!

I thought the last picture is the note 5
Glad someone has the gut to speak the truth in here :) j/k

The 6s+ also looks to have way better dynamic range than the note 5 image as well. There is way more detail in the shadows for the iPhone.

Here's a photo of my dog running up the stairs low light. Also it's a live photo

Edit: looks like MacRumors doesn't support live photos yet.

Is that from a 6s or 6s+? Would manually adjusting the exposure (not sure if that's the right term) have helped?
the native camera app doesn't seem to allow any control over exposure (fixed aperture, shutter speed, ISO). there's only HDR and the option to meter a different part of the scene. the caveat to that is, metering is locked within the focal point - you're not able to focus on one point, and then expose for another part of the scene. there is that slider when you lock AF/AE, but it's hard to tell if it's compensating exposure. it's looks more like it's just adjusting brightness.

I know its not a photo but if anyone is interested in the video quality, here is a video comparing my iPhone 6 and new iPhone 6s. Side by side comparisons at the end.

 
If you feel the need to resize your photos to around 18mp equivalent, the app called "Big Photo" does a superb job of resizing! I realize that a lot of you are probably not photographers and really don't push the limits of your iPhone with photography, so I maybe spinning my wheels here because I feel that a lot of y'all probably don't care the least. If that's the case, then I just won't share anymore of my tips. Anyway, here is a photo that I took with my iPhone 6s Plus and resized it to an 18 megapixel equivalent and it still holds its resolution quite well. I see that y'all are talking about the noise reduction being aggressive in the phone this time around, I'm not sure that's what that is, I'm thinking that it's the tiny optics unable to fully and completely resolve the out of focus background data and therefore it probably renders it into a mushy looking image.
Here is the photo.

I've noticed it, I'm even wondering if Apple made the effect more aggressive in 6s, I was shocked to see this when taking a photo of my 5s with 6s, notice the textile white background at the bottom, and compare it to the top where it's being 'distorted' by the 6s aggressive filter:

The amount of noise reduction is ridiculous... Apple really dropped the ball on us, my 5S that was on 7.1.2 took amazing pictures!

Photography is one of my hobbies. I'm debating exchanging my 6s for a 6s+. The photo looks great! Those gas prices look pretty awesome too!!
 
Took my dog for a ride today. Took some photos as well. All are straight from my camera roll, with just a little bit of rotating, since I was driving (I did brake to take the photos.) all taken with a 6s. The first two are of the widest part of the Mississippi River between Illinois and Iowa.
