Once you update your 6S to 9.1, you should be able to restore your 6's backup to it. If it's encrypted there's nothing special you need to do, it'll just prompt for the password you encrypted it with when you pick it to restore.

So question... there is no difference this time between the 6s and the 6s Plus cameras, right? I remember last time around, the main reason I went with the Plus is the better video recording abilities. It appears that there isn't and the only reason to get the Plus this time is better screen resolution and battery life, right?
Of course, I got the 16gb model which was a yooge mistake and make it all for naught, but I digress.

Plus has the optimal image stabilization when recording video.

Optical Image Stabilization is still exclusive to the Plus. Here's a comparison video that I found posted on Daring Fireball.

I can't seem to get the live wallpapers to work. I select it, make sure "live photo" is selected then set. But no movement in either the lock or home screen. Sure I'm missing something here...

I think it only animates if you push down on the screen.
Does OIS have to be enabled somewhere or is it always on?
Are you pressing the screen? I was able to get it to work on my lock screen.

That does work on the lock screen but nothing on the home screen.

Thanks guys! The stabilization makes a huge difference in that video, so I guess I'll go with the Plus again. I was looking for a reason to go with the smaller one, but the shaky video is a deal killer.

i had the same thing happen to me, although im on verizon.
The 2gb ram it's definitely super duper noticeable. Haven't had a single refresh or crash yet. I do however notice some jutter when scrolling through things though.
Also had a few instances of it hanging for just a second when entering text into a field, but that could be due to the third party keyboard.
Oh also the better contrast is immediately noticeable when i put my phones side by side. Contrast on the new phone is better.
All in all, a huge improvement over the original 6+!!
Trade me for my 6. That'll slow it down.

About time! My first white phone since the 4S.
I'm going to miss you 6 Plus.

Oh, cool. Just noticed that the 120 fps slow-mo option is now 1080p (up from 720p from the 6 generation).

Stupid question: how do I activate it once the iCloud restore is done?
Yes!
I live in Tustin California and tmo turned it on in my city yesterday. I was getting 4g in parts of my home. Now i get nothing but lte. Bottom floor restroom was the worst, now i get super fast lte on the crapper.
The craziest part is when i drove through these hills that i have to go through everyday to go home from work. It used to be a dead zone where id get no data at all and my calls would usually drop. Fucking 3 bars and LTE now!!!
Check their newsroom blog to see if they turned on the new band in your city though.
can't wait to have this complaint. The fingerprint stuff on the 5S has always sucked. I mostly stopped using it after like a week or two.
I gotta say, the rose gold looks really slick in person. Not nearly as pink as I thought looking at the site. I may have to be bold and go for it
Its straight up pink
The Touch ID worked fine for me on my old 6, just quick enough for me to have a double take on everything. Now its too fast.

I'm trying to restore an iCloud backup, and I'm stuck on a "slide to upgrade" screen where I slide, I enter the pin, and it moves the progress bar for a second before looping. What do I do now?
If extended range LTE (Band 12) got greenlit in your area then you'll notice a significant difference. LA and Orange County went live yesterday (Probably in anticipation of the 6s) and I haven't noticed anything yet, but I always had good signal here where I am.

I understood that reference
But really, this is TOO good. I will have to train myself to use the power button in order to just check the time from now on.
What adblockers are y'all using? I would like to try one out.
I bought the 128 GB rose gold iPhone 6s. I received it at 1:40 PM today. I took it to the Apple Store to set it up there just in case there's an issue out of the box.
One of the employees thought I didn't want the Rosegold and excitedly kept asking if I would like a silver or space gray iPhone. I stayed with the rose gold.

Cheers. It's available here (SATX). This might justify the upgrade, I get no signal inside my workplace and have to rely on WiFi.

You're right. Wow, that's super handy... Find a place on the map and quickly give them a call, for example. Nice. I hope Google Maps adds this functionality soon.
I'm actually really impressed with "Hey, Siri" so far. I know it's been a pretty common feature on Android for a while now, but it's nice. I probably won't use it for a ton more than "Hey, Siri, how do I get home from here?" but that's still a nice feature.

Well, this is fun. I'm having to explain over the phone to someone how to put the iPhone into DFU mode, update via iTunes not he computer, and then do a restore from iCloud because iOS 9.0 is borked for new phones. yay!
yay!
yay!
yay!
yay!
where's my damn iPhone. i hate this.
Came here to post this. It's almost too accurate now.
On the 5s I can definitely unlock via code way faster than with a fingerprint. And that's if it actually gets the fingerprint the first time.
