With 6s, my T-mobile reception is no different, if not a little worse

Just tested within my 4 walls. Nope, don't see a slight difference. In fact, during the test, my 6 had two bars, while 6s only one. What gives?

Extended Range LTE may not be in your market yet. I'm quite sure it isn't in mine (San Diego area). I would disable LTE and use 4G, that has a low range frequency and their HSPA+ is blazing quick, faster than my old AT&T LTE.

You'd think NYC would be one of the first test markets.

Supposedly iOS 9 is more accurate with signal bars than iOS 8. If your previous phone is on iOS 8 then your 6s may be showing you more accurate signal level.

Both 6 and 6s running 9.0.1.

Not according to my tests, at least.
