So I'm still on iOS9 on an iPhone 6S 64GB. I usually don't upgrade with the first major release of an OS but wait a few updates. Now that there has been is iOS10 worth the upgrade from iOS9? If for some reason I don't like it can I go back or would I be stuck? I do backup my phone to my Mac regularly.
Got a tip for us?

You can't go back to iOS 9 once you upgrade.
As to your question about whether the update is worth it or not, you will get mixed answers. Some say go for it (I would), and some say don't do it. Some people experience actual problems with firmware updates, and others do not.
For what it's worth, I'm personally quite happy with 10.2. Do some research and see if the improvements are what you would like / need, and go from there.
Security updates alone would make it worth it for me, to be honest.

Hmm okay. Would I need MacOSX Sierra for iOS10? I have El Cap now. I also noticed that on the MAS there are no ratings or reviews for Sierra which I find odd.
Yeah true. Is there a way to turn off the "update now" pop that comes up when unlocking the phone?
depending on what version on, I think you can install a tvOS profile to disable it
search for it on the googles,

Some features such as Apple Pay in Safari will require Sierra. Otherwise, you'll be fine.
The ratings were removed probably because only people with broad issues rate the OS. I seen some pretty stupid reasons for someone giving a 1 star rating.
