I'm very happy with my 128gb Space Gray 6S. Battery last as long as my 6 but also, i have no issue plugging it in mid-day if needed or if I know I'm going out after work. I do not live in a forest and have access to power plugs on a regular basis. lol. I also plug it in at night because I'm crazy like that. Screen looks good, it's way faster than the 6, I love the new features and iOS9 in general.
I'm not a device swapper just a gadget addict. I always have my latest iPhone and usually an android for fun use. In the last 3 months alone I've had the 6 plus and 6s plus, an LG 3, 4 and Flex 2, a Note 5 (only Samsung every worth owning) and Nexus 6. I appreciate android but as I said, they are for fun use only. Nothing will ever replace my iPhone.
That being said yesterday I posted how happy I was with my phone... lo and behold last night I was using Waze and the sound completely faded. Sounded like I had put a headset in but I hadn't. Then this morning I wake up to a dead phone. I knew it had at least 80% when I went to sleep last night. I ended up falling asleep again, woke up an hour later and it's still dead. Took me half an hour to get it up and running again. Called the Apple store in Lancaster, PA and for the first time since they were releases they had them in stock (bought the first one in Townson, MD and was grateful not to have to make that drive again). I was very specific in telling them I wanted the global unlocked sim free version (A1634) and he assured me he had it. Left there with the same model I was exchanging (A1687 with the dreaded Samsung chip) after being told there was none of the others left even though I reserved one. And I've only been home a couple hours and I'm starting to have heat issues I didn't have with the first one. Calling Apple first thing in the morning to complain and figure out what to do next. I honestly still don't care which chip I get I just want a phone that works the way it's supposed to.
Sorry to hear about the troubles. Good luck with the exchange.
I wasn't sure about which color I wanted, so I narrowed it down to the white or black and told Siri to flip a coin. 
I ended up with the white and I'm loving it! It's my first white device since my Nintendo DS lite, and my first white apple device. I've somehow managed to own apple devices since 2009, and none of them have been white. It reminds me slightly of the Galaxy S3 in terms of the white bezel, but that was really the only Samsung device I've ever really been envious of design-wise.
I'm loving all this enhanced functionality with the hey Siri and 3D Touch. I didn't think I'd like it so much, but I'm using it all the time!
Quick question:
It seems like if you 3D Touch a word, it selects a word(Without haptics), but if you long press it just puts a cursor there. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

oh awesome, a positive thread, got my phone yesterday and it's amazing, how I managed to spend so much money on it and still it doesn't feel overpriced I can't fathom
it just feels like something from the future. sure I got the Samsung chip but still it's up to twice as fast as last years, has a smaller battery but it still has the same battery life and that's impressive!, hopefully this thread keeps going because it seems every other one is really really negative

Been quite happy with my space grey 64GB 6S. I switched from the OnePlus One 64GB. The iPhone is much more responsive that I was quite surprised. Eg. the camera. I was so used to the lag on Android that I was waiting for the camera, while in fact it is already ready to shoot. Everything is fluid smooth. Battery life seems okay, although I do wish for more. Size is great. I'm not quite used to 3D touch yet for certain gestures, and sometimes I feel like I'm pressing too hard or not hard enough.
I still carry my OnePlus One just to compare. The iPhone ran flawlessly, while my OnePlus One had to be rebooted at least once a day (lock screen crash, system UI not responding, all that lovely Android "features").

6S+, after having a 6 for the last year.
I absolutely love it! Was worried the size and weight would be a problem, but they're not. I love the giant (for an iPhone) screen, it makes everything better. I can't imagine ever going back to a smaller phone.
The fast A9 and 2GB ram really make a noticeable difference in performance compared to the 6.
Haven't found 3D Touch to be useful yet. But surprised how much I'm using Siri now. The always-on "Hey Siri" makes it easy to do a lot of things completely hands free, great for driving.
