Got my 6S+ on friday, and I've been playing around with it ever since. I waited to post here until I can have a full write up on my thoughts but for now all I can say is that I'm really enjoying it.
Quick question, I saw in one of your older posts that you got the silicone case for your phone. How do you like it? I got a leather case on release day, and as much as I love how it looks it's almost just as slippery as having it naked and I'm not liking it too well when holding it.
I've heard it gets stuck in pockets pretty easily and racks up lint. Has it been an issue?

Hmm, my apps are greying out. Not good.

Not necessarily. I heard it was junk for a long time. I don't think they have their extended LTE stuff in this market yet, either.

For those complaining that TouchID is too fast (wut?), maybe try setting it to memorize/unlock with the pad of your finger (without scanning in the tip), and then use the tip to press the home button for time checks or whatever?
It may take a few days to remember, but should allow you to eat your cake and have it too.

I bought my leather Apple case (black) from Target for $20 a couple weeks back. They have some good deals on cases sometimes.
Same thing happened with iPad Air cases, Apple releases a new line which is slightly different but still works with old models so the old ones finally get discounted.
I love the silicone cases. I had one on my regular 6 as well before this one. It's quite grippy and stops the phone from being slippery. It feels high quality and rigid as opposed to some flimsy third party silicone cases. No issues at all with lint and gathering dust for me. It's the perfect case to me.

Pretty happy with this battery life. Was able to browse, game, and stream video a decent amount today and am sitting at 20%. (6S+) had my Bluetooth on all day connected to my Fitbit as well.

Hi all,
I noticed that music would stutter for half a second every time I launch or exit the camera app. is it normal or a bug in iOS 9.1 beta 2?

No such option my good brother/sister.
Hard to understand the 'touch is too fast' comments. I touch the button all the time to look at notifications. You might have to do a little retraining to get in the habit of picking your finger up off the button and not let it linger there unless you want it to unlock. Seems like a minor thing though. I have never had it unlock when I didn't want it too so far.
'were' or 'are'?
I will try to find one tomorrow.
What a savings!
Further, I just wanted to mention Wi-Fi calling real quick. My previous phone did not support this. I noticed it was not enabled by default on my 6S+, and I only just now turned it on. If you are on a carrier that supports Wi-Fi calling... you should think about turning that on. I now have perfect coverage at home where previously I got 1 bar (2 if lucky) at all times. It doesn't cost extra... and depending on your plan it could allow you to receive certain calls for free.
BTW, I'm on T-Mobile prepaid (that awesome $30 plan is perfect for me), and even the prepaid plan has Wi-Fi calling support.

Hmmm, this is what I'm seeing. Using my backup that has been surviving since 2009. 6S.

Okay several stores near me have it but they are all showing 39.99. Maybe the clearance price doesn't show online? Well, I'll still look into it.
yeah there are quite a few standard cases on amazon for around 10-15 dollars that work great. Used one on my 5 and 6 with no problems.

I want to, since I think AT&T supports it now, but I hear it screws with the way calls get forwarded to my MacBook and iPad (which is a feature I have enabled and want to keep working). As in, when wifi calling is enabled, it turns off device forwarding
That sounds great. Think I'm gonna return my leather case for a silicone one, thanks!
Not sure about AT&T (I have T-Mobile) but with iOS 9 not only can you make calls on your Mac with wifi calling on, you don't even have to be on the same wifi network. I've been making calls on my Mac with wifi calls on this whole weekend. Just go to phone settings and turn on wifi calling for other devices.

Ha, I went to go turn it on to test it out, it says "Do you want to enable Wifi calling with AT&T?" I say yes, then a big screen opens up that says "Sorry, feature is not available yet"
Also according to Apple Support Wifi calling on other devices only works on T-Mobile, so it's a nonstarter for me anyway.

If you turn on wifi calling on how does that work? can you still use mobile data?

Basically it just tells your carrier to route all your calls through wifi instead of their towers, hence why it needs carrier support. Great for people with wifi but shit cell signal

Went to order a silicone case and I see Apple put the price up on Friday from £18 to £25 gg.
ah I see so would it switch between the two or only use wifi?

the iphone doesn't have fast charge tech right?
Want to make sure mine isn't malfunctioning lol

Buy one from a local store, any old 6 case will work and they probably wouldn't have had their price increased. Maybe even discounted.

I know it'll switch back to cell for emergency calls if available, not sure about anything else. I would ASSUME it's smart enough to not try to route calls through wifi when you're not on wifi

Also, if anybody is looking for a phone cradle for their vehicle, this one is like 7 bucks after you enter the code located on the page

Is the only way to get AppleCare to call? I'd really like to avoid phone calls. Is there really no way to get it online?
My one gripe so far, theres no quick menu toggle for the power saving mode. It's a bit weird having to go all the way into normal settings to turn it on and off. It's a minor gripe and it's more to do with iOS9 than anything, but coming from Android that seems like an obvious option.
I'm guessing that it's a function that Apple want people to use out of necessity so they've put it in a place that needs deliberate steps to find and turn on.
If there was a quick toggle then there would be people unknowingly having the feature toggled on and having lower performance in other areas on their iPhone's.
I used to work in phone retail and people would have all sorts of functions turned on without realising which then affected their performance and then made them come into store.
Just my guess.

On my iCloud it still says I am signed into my 5S, but I wiped it yesterday (clicking delete everything) and didn't sign back in with my iCould details ( I did click the app store app to see if I was signed in there and I wasn't and skipped that step of the set up process, I wont still be signed in will I?

You should have signed out of iCloud before wiping. Just delete it from iCloud.com and you should be good.

Just checked with the shop I sold it too and they showed me the phone and I wasn't signed into iCloud on it, it's still showing on iCloud though that I am signed in and running iOS8, OS X Yesimie or watchOS on these devices so not sure what's going on with it.
Well I've changed my password anyway.

Absolutely loving my 6S. It definitely seems like the most refined iPhone up to this point.
Low Power mode is a godsend. I use it while I'm at work and it makes it so that battery drain during low usage is very minimal. That's while I have music being played while the screen is off through my Wireless Beats and checking email/messages at various intervals.
Hey Siri actually works and works REALLY well.
2GB of Ram is amazing. That + Purify makes Safari a dream. Its speed and performance finally matches its smoothness.
Force Touching for peek and pop in Safari and Messages has been invaluable, and I can't imagine going back to a non 3D Touch Display. Evernote just updated their app to support Quick Actions, and I have Shazam now specifically because they support quick actions. Can't wait for more apps to support it (Gmail, Google Maps? Google plz).

So while you're at work you stick the iPhone in Low Power Mode because...you're working and won't use the iPhone much?
Anybody know if Low Power Mode affects the  Watch when paired in any way? I work in a train station and reception there can be bad. I never thought to turn on Low Power Mode while at work.
Yup. I can put my phone down at 85% and it'll stay at 85% by the time I pick it back up, instead of it trickle draining down to 80% or something. Why lose that % when I'm not using the phone or really checking it anyway? Cumulatively, throughout the day, that makes for a big difference.
I also flip it on if I'm going to be driving and it also helps to charge it faster through USB.
I forgot to put on my watch this morning. Otherwise I would let you know, lol.
Edit: Now usually this is irrelevant because I have a charging dock at my desk, so I can just charge it when I please. But if I'm in a meeting or something and enabling Do Not Disturb anyway, it's definitely good.
It actually would make sense to just enable Low Power Mode whenever one puts on DND. Wish Apple could automatically make this happen. Actually, I wonder if I can use that WorkFlow app to enable/change settings. I haven't looked into it yet.

Here's my 6s Plus's battery life, this is the second full charge since I got it last Friday. Safari and Photos were my most used apps along with Home Screen & Lockscreen. I mean, I'm using the phone a lot more than normally because I'm checking out the new features. There were a lot of apps with background activity, like Tweetbot, Amazon (?), and Photos.
Every single feature is turned on as far as I'm aware and haven't disabled anything that I think could prolong my battery life.
