Even thought you don't know a thing about it or if it's even worth the upgrade from the 6 Plus. 😛

To be fair, he didn't mention if he had a 6+. He could be a holdout clutching an iPhone 4S or 5 waiting for Apple to give him a reasonable jump.

That's me. I started on the S cycle until I switched carriers and ended up on the non-S cycle. I'm holding onto my 5 for as long as I can.

I'm curious what they do as well, since I have t-mobile jump and can upgrade a couple times a year.
hard to believe we are halfway through the cycle. my 6 STILL feels brand new, still novel...cant say that for any of my older iphones i had.
Well your point is very well taken, however I was making a point that the 6 Plus is available now if you need a phone and waiting for the "6S" to arrive and only finding out that Apple made some modifications that suddenly made the 6 Plus the better buy. That's the life of being an Apple (or actually any tech company) customer. Just when you think the newest will be better.....

Honestly, the processor is fine with me. Since it's an S model, we won't see any physical differences and thats were I think the 6 design could most benefit from. Spec wise, just give it 2 or 3 gigs of RAM and call it a day. Other than that I'd be happy.
As for the next phone, I don't mind if they keep this design, but honestly if I could change the 6+, I'd make it a tad thicker (easier to hold) while allowing a bigger battery, shorten the top and bottom bezels and trim the side bezels. Call it a day. Oh and that pesky RAM bump.

A valid point and I think the 2014 Mac Mini is your prime example. Johnny Ive still keeps me wondering what he will sacrifice next on the altar of "thinness" - maybe that SIM door? a proprietary headphone jack?
I upgrade every year, why not? You just sell your current one on CL and buy the new one retail. With the money from my previous model plus some extra cash, Ive never paid more than what new customers pay anyways.
