Yeah, it had been also brought up in a review I posted a few pages ago. The iPhone 6 photos appear brighter under low-light because it has bigger pixels in the camera compared to the 6s, thus allowing more light to pass.

Yeah, the no streaming is kind of weird. Trying out the free version and it looks nice, but no streaming is a bummer.

I use Downcast as well and I haven't yet found a reason to switch to another app. That's partially because of how big of a pain it would be to download all the episodes of podcasts I haven't listened to yet.

Since we're talking about apps, do any of the Twitter apps on iOS allow for granular text selection? The official Twitter app and the free version of Twitterific I tried only allow for you to highlight the entire post and copy it, but not the individual words.
I'm primarily looking for this ability so I can use it in conjunction with the built-in dictionary.

Is this really true? I can't get any kind of music preview this way on my iphone 6, running ios9.1 beta.

This is probably a dumb question but did they remove the "Optimized for iPhone 6 and 6+" in the app info section? Or am I just being an idiot and totally missing it?

So what are the coolest 3d touch things to do? Clicking on links in safari seems kinda slow and cumbersome. Anything else noteworthy?

Is anyone else's phone randomly going completely unresponsive, forcing you to have to restart it? It was happening on my 5s and now it's on this too. I think it might be an iOS 9 bug.

Yep. 6S is a tad sharper in broad daylight, but in the dark, which is arguably where things need to improve the most, the 6 seems to do better.

Peeking into things is currently its most useful feature. I use it on emails and texts to look at something quickly without marking it read. You can use it in maps to quickly get directions to a point on the map. Beyond that I don't think there's a whole lot to do with it until third party apps start implementing it.
No, it's not a dumb question and your not a idiot. They removed it for whatever reason. It's quite annoying because I don't know which apps are not optimized and there are even apps still out there that I use that have not been optimized despite the original iPhone 6 being out for a year now.

Sort of. Yesterday the touchscreen was completely unresponsive, but the home and volume buttons still worked. I had to do a hard reset, and when it rebooted it was fine.
So, I guess iOS 9 is the culprit.
Safari's shortcuts are great. iMessage is nearly perfect; for some reason it won't show my group chat, though. :/
Also: Shazam's shortcuts to immediately start listening. So awesome.
Mine did this today. I could put in sleep, unlock it, but couldn't do anything with touch until I restarted.

Make sure you are using the app switcher shortcut on the left edge (same as double tapping home) and pressing down on the keyboard to move the text cursor.
Places in Maps, some app icons, cursor and text selection when pressing into the keyboard, Live Photos,there's a couple of 3D Touch wallpapers, and some third party apps (official Twitter and Instagram for example)
Hopefully more apps start to integrate it soon
Pocket Casts web player is a one off fee and it's really good.
The mobile app has a sleep timer, you can do streaming and download but voice amplify and silence remover only work when downloaded just like Overcast (which is understandable).

I'm telling you guys, the solution to your problem with super fast Touch ID is simple:
When you enroll your fingerprints to unlock the phone, only enroll the pad and the sides. Don't show it the tip of any of your fingers.
Then, use the pad to unlock and the tip for lock screen checks.
I've seen this on my wife's old car charger and then her house charger. You need a new charger. Yours is faulty.
Edit: Nevermind. Several others have answered this.

My old phone wasn't THAT old (5S), but really loving the 6S right now.
Edit: I see it wasn't just me being crazy. The fingerprint scanner is incredibly fast.

I doubt they're lying to you on purpose. I can tell you that Apple has a bad habit of giving stock estimations rather than exact numbers and badly undershipping.
Most local stores were being told they'd receive Plus models here from Apple on the 23rd. Come the 24th, it was adjusted to no Plus models at all. Now they can certainly keep their communication clear and tell you as soon as any changes happen, but my guess is they thought they were getting stock that was pulled at the last minute.
It's been done.

Streaming with smart speed and voice boost are coming in Overcast 2.0. Just don't really have a window for when it's going to release.

I've been pushing hard, nothing. Even bending up the SIM tool a bit.
Apple store will help you out.

I found out today you can 3D Touch tabs in Safari, which enables you to Peek and Pop into them with a really nice animation. If you press just a little on the tab's content area, you can also drag up and down to rearrange the order.
edit: Apparently the Hold & Drag to reorder was already a thing in iOS 8, but it feels like part of 3D Touch now.

So what are the pros and cons of the iPhone 6s Vs iPhone 6s Plus?
Before jaxapollo goes nuts:
6S Plus Positives
- Larger screen size
- Higher PPI
- OIS in both photos and videos
- Good deal more battery life
- Landscape support for a few things
- Weaker ergonomics/harder to use one handed
- Weight
- Price
- 0.5% weaker performance, because that's a really big deal and Huelen will point it out.
I went to the Verizon store on Campbell and speedway and told the guy I was interested in a space grey 6S 64gb. He went in the back and got me one. Didn't have to wait or anything. 10 minutes after walking in the store I was on my way home. I was expecting to have to just put in an order and not get it till mid-oct. Maybe try going there.
So a week later I still am in love with this phone. This is such a weird feeling. I'm very familiar with iPhones, but this is honestly the first iPhone that I've been totally positive with. Weirder still is that the iPhone 6 was the worst iPhone I've ever used.
I honestly can't even think of what they can do to make me upgrade for a good long time now. Obviously they aren't going to be increasing the RAM for another 5 or 6 years.

Right, Verizon has enough stock, I think. Apple store on La Encantada also has a lot of 6S available in all sizes -- the problem is I want the 6S+, and only the 128GB variant. Verizon may have it, but the thing is I'm interested in the upgrade program, which can only be obtained through the Apple store.
6S+ cons:
too large to use with one hand
too large to use 3D Touch
UI framerate drops, poor game performance
cannot be used without a case
no landscape app support
annoying rotating home screen you can't turn off
6S con: no OIS
I'm assuming that's the 6s Plus?
I abused the battery on my iPhone 6s Plus yesterday at midnight after it was syncing with my Mac and charged from 98% out of the box back to 100%. It was on standby for 18 hours and used for 17 hours. I never had that with the original 6. Never, ever. So glad I up the ante and got the Plus this time. No turning back at all. I'm getting use to the bigger screen and loving the resolution. And definitely the battery. Whew.
Day one? An unlocked iPhone can work with any carrier and you can switch between SIM card with no issues.
I've had no issues using different country SIM cards on a 4S or a 5S.

How is the battery life on the 6s?
Fantastic. Every bit as good as the 6+ battery. Hasn't run out on me yet.
Pretty good, judging by early benchmarks and reviews. It does have a smaller batter than the 6, but it seems OS optimizations have lead to better battery life in some areas. There's also a new battery saver mode that you can activate. Really depends on your current level of usage. If you're on Safari for hours a day it might not be good enough though.

PS. wasn't kidding about ignoring jaxapollo, dude who has a huge agenda against the Plus model for some reason and is totally fruit loops
