That's my feeling exactly. I have my 6+. It is still great, and I am not in the market for a replacement this year. But considering what I am hearing about how surprisingly good this S revision is, it can only get better later on...
Pro tip: you can adjust 3D Touch sensitivity in accessibility settings. I prefer it on light.
Awesome
Holy shit that makes cleaning phone easier. Good shit.

Will most likely void any warranty though.

Thanks for pointing that out, I prefer light as well.
No digital stabilisation for video on the 6s? That seems a surprise - for video they should have plenty of pixels to play with to allow a digital margin for stabilisation

What cases have people got?
I wanted a Spigen case like in my 5S but they don't look as good now and have card holders and stand ms built in, and unsure how good the apple silicon case is for protection.

None yet, but I'm either going to get that kickstarter that was posted earlier, or just go naked.
the whole point of Bluetooth is you leave it on 24/7 so you can connect easily to it. Especially with low power it shouldn't kill the battery. Likewise with wifi. And they wouldn't enable 'hey siri' if it was a battery hog.

iTunes doesn't recognize my 6s (windows does just fine), my music app is in an endless "Loading Library..." to no music found loop (restarts the process every time I enter the app), video app doesn't show any of my iTunes movies/TV Shows (even though I told it to show all purchases regardless of download status), iCloud Drive app has "0 items" to show.
Tried everything from disabling iCloud Music Library/Apple Music, logging out of iCloud, a full settings reset, multiple restarts and even set up as new for the fun of it (didn't work either so I went back to my iCloud backup which took me 3-4 tries to set up in the first place).
All my other iPhones just worked out of the box, this is the first one that tries to ruin my weekend by preventing me from getting my music.

I hate that their shipping is on November. That's why I don't have a phone yet.
There is, there has been since the 4s. The problem is that software on its own is not enough. Apps like hyperlapse get around it by cutting out frames, which isn't acceptable for the system camera.

Is there a recommanded one handed keyboard?
I am using the standard keyboard.
I have big hands but even then you need 2 hands to drive this phone. It ain't no one hander.

Well. 6+ owner here. Just setup an appointment for a 64gb space gray 6s+ between 11:30 and 12:00 today. I guess appointments are that easy to come by.

They keep stock filled in stores as much as possible but it can be a crapshoot depending on where you live. Reservations replaced the lines as much as possible this year as well and I'm not sure people realized this.

6S+ owners, can you take some snaps and embed them here? I'd love to see how much the camera's improved.

I just tried all three settings and tested on the image in that settings screen. All three felt the same. Disappointed. Still have to press quite a bit more than I want to on Light.

Huge improvement, that's the only reason I really want to upgrade from my 6 to a 6S, but I can't see it being worth it for that alone.
Even my iPad Air 2 has spoiled me, I'm so fedup of apps and tabs on my 6 reloading all the time.

So it looks like we got a GT7600 for the GPU. No wonder this thing is flying.
6s or 6s plus?
Apparently similar to an Xbox 360.

If it was running at the full 650MHz it'd just pip an Xbox 360 in raw performance. Apple don't typically run their GPUs at full performance though. They usually under clock them.

I saw that the 6s+ is seemingly waterproof.. any news on the normal 6s?

So that youtube video of the 6S+ under water for 30 mins posted earlier on this page is fake or are you saying the 6S isn't waterproof but the 6S+ is? Serious question.
Oppo
Member
of course its fake
think for a second
if you dropped it in shallow water and didnt move it around too much, theres a chance it wouldnt short out, but thats simple luck, not a new feature of actual water resistance. a radio would do the same.

Well props to the guy doing the video then - I can't see how he faked it so well.
edit: of course there's always CGI
