Am I the only one who upgraded due to the camera? Upgraded from a iphone 6 plus. All the other features (3d touch) are somewhat gimmicky to me. I'm too excited for the 5mp front camera with screen flash! And 4k recording? Heck yes!
Got a tip for us?

Upgraded to the "s" for the Camera, anyone else?

It's the *only* reason I'm upgrading from a Space Grey 128GB 6 to the same model in the 6S. Not that I care about the rear camera (I thought 8MP was enough and unlike those who don't know any better, I realise that pushing the pixel count too far in a small sensor can actually reduce image quality). However, the front camera was badly due an upgrade - I regularly go mountain/hill bagging in the UK and I take a 'selfie' at the cairn/trig marking each summit for my records, and the low resolution images from the 1.2mp front camera is absolutely awful. Seems a bit OTT to be spending another £700 on a new phone for a selfie camera, but I can give my girlfriend the 6 and put her immaculate 64GB 5S on eBay to offset at least some of the cost.
Camera is the main reason I ordered. Going to Disneyland Oct. 9th and want to put it to the test!
This is the main reason I upgraded. The camera, better fingerprint scanner, 4k video, 3d touch, RAM and better build are all bonuses.

I'm upgrading for the Plus (have the standard 6 now), Camera, more RAM, in that order. I do think 3D touch will be appreciated more once we start using it.
I upgraded so I can brag I have the latest iPhone.
I am interested in getting the iPhone 6s but concerned about the fact that it does not have the Optical Image Stabilization feature (found in the 6+/6+s) as photos might be blurry due to shaky hands when using the 6s.
Hopefully you got the rose gold too so people will know you have the new iPhone!
I love Instagram and get asked all the time if my photos were really taken on a phone. Any upgrade to the camera is icing on the cake and definitely a plus for me.
Speaking of Plus, going to a much larger screen for editing photos (compared to my 5s) is going to rock.

I'm too lazy to look and I didn't notice in the announcement...but...do both, one, or neither phones have image stabilization?
Only the PLUS has the Optical Stabilization. The 6S Plus has activated OS for Video as well. The 6 Plus only had OS for photos, in low light.
Don't worry too much. Very likely 2GB in both models to support 3D Touch peek and pop functions with fast response. I really don't expect the 6s would've different than the 6s Plus in that respect.
Similar story here. I hope this phone will finally be able to replace my point and shoot. We'll see. That 4K tho...
Not really sure if I'm upgrading or downgrading.. Going from a 6 Plus to a 6S. Got tired of using a 5.5" phone and wanted to give the 4.7" a go..
The camera, 4K video (!), 3D touch, faster Touch ID (it's already pretty damned fast, can't imagine double the speed), faster CPU, are the things I'm most excited about.
Live photos might be neat, dunno. Have to play with that. Extra RAM? Can't hurt. Not a real consideration for me, though (doubt I'll be editing 4K video on this thing). The extra RAM may be a necessity for some of those extra features above, in which case it's a freebie, but in and of itself it's not something I've been itching for.

A welcome upgrade letting video use OS. Might pull the phone out for some snowboard videos instead of the GoPro 4 since 4k is in play. Nothing in the park, of course.
