Hey guys! Should i buy an iPhone 6s instead of an iPhone 6? I want to play games like real racing 3, minecraft infinity blade..... They seem very similar!
 
The 6S will perform better.
Do you think this is a worthy investment? I took a look at some of the games. For instance, Real Racing 3 or CSRacing seem to have powerful graphics! With these graphics, I know I have to make a decision: instead of buying a new iPhone, I really have to get an iPad Air 2. An iPad is the best choice to play racing games like these.
 
I was all ready to get a 6s, but then I found a 6 on Best Buy for $330 (64gb), so I just got a 6. It's fast enough for what I do.

i'm thinking the same and if i'll make an insurance on 6, then i'll break it after one year and BAM, iPhone 7 for 100$ :apple::apple::apple::apple::apple::apple::apple: xD
 
I moved from a 6 (64GB) to 6s Plus (128GB). To be honest, I could've lasted another year on the 6 until the 7 came out. However, 2GB of RAM and 3D Touch comes in handy in one handed operations. Safari refreshes pages less. I use the home button less and editing text and consuming is much faster.

I think 3D Touch made the "Plus" more usable on one handed operations.

I completely agree with you!
 
I made the same mistake with my iPad.. I bought an iPad Air 2 instead of waiting 4/5 months for Air 3
 
From a pure gaming perspective I don't think you'll see much difference because there aren't any apps/games in the App Store that currently even push the 6 to its limits. Developers have to code their games to run on multiple devices so once and awhile you'll see maybe a little more detail in the textures on the never devices or maybe a little smoother framerate but all current top of the line games run great on the regular 6. Maybe in a year or two more games will be made tailored for devices that have 2gb of ram but that will also alienate the older devices. So I'd say from a gaming view you're fine with a regular 6 for another year or two before you see something that actually even pushes the regular 6 to its limits.

I play Real Racing on both 6S+ and my iPad Pro. Used to play it on my iPad Air 2 and the graphics are awesome.

For what it's worth the Air 2 is very powerful and the Air 3 isn't even out yet. The waiting mentality can always be applied to the next gen.
