I'll report back in a couple of hours but i'm hoping it'll be pretty much gone. If the iPhone6 is lag free on iOS9 then i'm guessing the 6S+ will be too.

Lightning fast and practically perfect.
Any differences at this level will be imperceptible except by the most neurotic of users.
There are only 20 points difference in both single and multi-core Geekbench scores. That's essentially nothing.

But it is still actually measurable, and the statement holds true; performance-wise, the smaller is superior.
0.008% superior. Technically, you are right.
Edit: oh so it's 1/200 superior. Preorder cancelled ;-)
Yes Huelen. The 6S is 0.501% better than the 6S Plus. That is a completely imperceptible difference and you can stop banging this fucking drum now.
Roughly 0.5% for multi core, 0.35% for single core.

Geek bench doesn't mean shit. It's about the amount of pixels and the downscaling.
Here are the benches for the OG 6 and +

No one in their right minds would say they are equal in performance and feel using the devices but here they are in spitting distance on benchmarks.
No, you gave a disingenuous answer by comparing it previous versions and saying it has weaker performance. Does it technically have weaker performance? Yes, but to such a small degree that no human could notice it. It's not comparable to the 6 and 6 Plus gap. You are rightfully given shit for splitting hairs over a fraction of a percent difference.
I have access to the iPhone 6S Plus in front of me. I'm confident in saying that any performance gap between the models is practically unnoticeable. Or to word it slightly differently; I'm not sure how these devices could get any faster.
Wait there!!
So I'm restoring my data from iTunes with my iPhone 6S plugged into my Mac via a Lightning Cable. And I'm playing with the iPhone at the same time.
And my battery percentage is gradually decreasing. Should this be?
Yes, much lighter. Another observation is that the 6S is also noticeably thicker to hold than the 6.

Yes.
6: 129g
6S: 143g
6 Plus: 172g
6S Plus: 192g
Wait until it's done chugging through all the intensive stuff before worrying.
USB is only 5v, and your restoration is probably hammering the battery pretty hard, sounds like it's probably about right
So superior that nobodies buying it!Wow, line went from 2 to 10 quick. Now everyone's mad because the only have Rose Gold in (superior) 4.7 inch, more for me!

Just got my upgrade from the O2 store, restoring stuff back from 5S now.
Need to sort out a case tomorrow now.

Yeah that's what I thought, wait until it's finished. Thanks.

I second this quesiton
just use it how you want, there is no magic first charge you just have to to a full discharge recharge cycle every few months to reset what the battery thinks is full and empty.

You were supposed to drain it all the way down until the phone died on its own. Then recharge it back to 100%, and then let it sit for about an hour on 100% so it can trickle charge.
Except nowadays, it's totally unnecessary. You only do that to recalibrate the battery percentage, which I haven't done on any of the iPhones that I've owned since the iPhone 5.
I thought with lithium ion it wasn't a good idea to do a full discharge, and instead only drain the battery to 20% or so?
The problem is there is so much conflicting information out there these days. I think the best advice is probably just to use it however you like and not worry...

I forgot to do a backup of my 5s and now it's in the repair shop getting a new battery... If I set my new phone up as a new phone, am I going to be missing much or do you think it's better to wait to set this up until I get my 5s back and do a backup? I'm not really sure whats included in the backup...
ARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Drop test? Drop test. Impressive.

15 minutes away but I won't get to play with it until I get home from work.
Yes, unless the courier delivering it doesn't do their job properly, which I'd hope not.
That's what I figured. Guess I won't be getting my phone today. Unless they somehow deliver it after 5pm

Random question -
I got a replacement iPhone 6 from Apple 2 weeks ago because of a bent enclosure and when I restored it from the backup I had made on iTunes, everything was kept in tact, including game progress.
However when I did the same thing today when I moved from the 6 to the 6S, my game progress seems to have been lost. I still have the original 6 as it was so my progress hasn't been 'lost', it's just not appearing on the new phone. Any tips on how to transfer it over to the 6S?

Your storage will be 12 GB when you opened it.
oh, thats not too bad then. my galaxy s4 at 16gb had like 7gb used up by the os
By the way, if anyone is like me and doesn't restore so as to have a fresh as possible new phone, if you're also like me and the only thing you really want to carry over is your imessages, I'm gonna try out this tutorial. It seems pretty good and there's a comment saying it works on iOS9.

Never got shipping confirmation from AT&T. Still says "In Progress". Bummer. Guess it'll be another week or so!
So 3D touch is the gamechanging feature from my short experience with the phone. Browsing the neogaf mobile site is an absolute dream, you can peek into all the threads and check out the images in the first post and see if the thread is even going to interest you then pop back out if it doesn't. All in one geusture, it works swimmingly.
Yeah. Which is why I'm thinking of just picking the 16 GB instead of 64. I have a Nexus 5 and still have 8GB of storage left.

If it's the tutorial that I'm thinking you're using where you inject the iMessage history from one backup to a fresh backup using iBackup, then it does you wonders since I've always done this.

Well I went to the South Nashua store at Pheasant Lane for my 8am appointment. Was a bit confused where to go, found the pre-8am line. 8am they walked us into the mall, plenty of employees, no wait time at all. Took 20 minutes all up.
It was entirely possibly to upgrade a Verizon phone under contract getting onto the Apple upgrade plan and it all went swimmingly. I kept my original contract, they just added it as a new full priced phone and now I'm on Apple's upgrade program.
10/10 would launch again.

The iCloud restore takes decades here. It looks like every app is downloaded (including data) but the "Loading Library" part in the music app seems to be stuck.
I hate setting up iPhones, all the apps that need login details updated and re-registered...
Moving over authenticator apps is a pain too. Yeah I know, I'm lazy.

As someone with a 6+ currently, I was debating whether I should take the plunge and get a 6s+. This sounds really helpful and seems like a great use for 3D Touch.
I'm surprised no one is posting pictures!
