Hope you feel better soon and get to swap the iPhone. I had a silver 6 plus for a year, moved to rose gold 6s this year. Still undecided. Love the smaller size, but battery isn't great. Only half of my 6 plus
Got a tip for us?

This battery on the plus is nuts...took off charge at 5am yesterday and at 13.30 the next day it's still got 16% left..wtf
I'm loving the battery life on my 6 plus after having the 6, I just know it's going to last all day, end of!Hope you feel better soon and get to swap the iPhone.

Size and weight are great. Can use one-handed and fits in my pocket. I'm fine with the screen and don't notice the dpi too much. I have an iPad Air for films, youtube and surfing, but the battery is much worse than I expected. It might improve in the next few days, so I'm going to hang on a bit longer. The trouble is trying to get hold of a RG 64Gb 6s plus within my return period!
This is the battery use after 3 cycles. The phone died before I could get a snapshot, so it's just charged up a few %
It has improved over 3 cycles, although it did drop 10% overnight. If I get another 30 mins of usage and total of 24 hrs standby, then I'll take that. I'm still installing an odd app and probably using it more than usual. I have a lipstick Anker 3350mAh battery that I can take out if I'm planning a full day and evening on the go.
Has your battery improved since you got it?
I've been trying to swap my 6s+ 64GB Gold for the Rose gold version. So far no luck waking up at 6am to reserve one yet.
There is two Apple stores near me, if I get to reserve one at a different Apple Store can I still take my current phone back to that store or do I have to take it to the one I got it from?

I reserved this morning for a place at Selfridges. The guy said they are getting about 8 - 10 every day (although dont know if he meant of the rose gold or just iphones), so I would expect there may be some more tomorrow. I booked at around 8:30 this morning for a reserve in store. He said the rose gold was the most popular. People were sitting there all day hoping people would miss the appointment and then they can pick it up.
No you can take it to any Apple Store. I've been on the phone with Apple this morning and they told me I could do it at any Apple Store in the uk.
So after playing around with the 6s+ for a good few days, I definitely think 3D Touch is a useful functional feature and not a gimmick like others say.
Being able to "peek" at links without committing to a new tab makes browsing a lot quicker. Sometimes I need to go back and forth between apps a lot, and using the 3D Touch feature to swipe makes this quicker. Hard pressing the keyboard to more accurate move around text is also pretty useful.
I upgraded from a 5, and wouldn't want to go back to anything smaller than the 6s+. I have no problem reaching across the phone, typing one handed, or fitting it any of my pockets (and my jeans are slim...)

Well I only got my replacement yesterday so it's on it's first charge. Currently on 2hr34 usage & 22hrs40 standby with 74% remaining.
Yes it's actually not looking too bad so far, lets see how it performs in the coming days!
Start with your thumb on the edge of the phone, off the screen, and then as you swipe push down.

I'd appreciate you keeping us updated if that's ok? I'm planning on making a decision at the weekend, so a few more cycles in, and leaves me a few days to try and reserve a 6s plus.
I keep forgetting about 3D Touch, I'm not convinced it's a must have feature yet. Maybe there's just not enough applications with which to use it at the moment, but as it stands I wouldn't miss it.
