Hi. I think to buy new iPhone, but confused. So there are iPhone 5S, 6S and 6S Plus.

6S:
Easier to use with one hand;
Has better brightness;
Cheaper than 6S Plus;
With the less screen resolution I suppose less lag and more FPS in games;
Weight and size.

6S Plus:
Bigger display;
Better battery;
A little bit better camera;
Has landscape mode in main menu and some iPad's features.

5S is just the best to use with one hand, but it's expensive if you buy it new and not so much memory, etc.

The important thing to me is music. So first of all I want to know which one is better, I suppose 6S and 6S Plus have the same sound chip, but I've read that 5S still the best of all iPhones, but didn't compare. What do you think what is better iPhone for me and why? Maybe you can tell me something I didn't know. By the way, I use Samsung Galaxy Note 5 at the moment - it's big and heavy, but battery damn good, anyway Android is Android with all it's lags.
 
Newer is generally better overall. Beyond that it mainly matters as far as what's important to you and what you are looking for and what your budget is. If it's mainly music then really any of those phones would do just fine.

These all words won't help me to choose, anyway, as I wrote, music is important to me and I don't want just fine I need the best one. The budged is about 1000$ that is includes the expensivest iPhone.

Well, then you answered your question, if you want the best one and have the budget for it, then go for the latest model.

There is 2 latest models 6S and 6S Plus, have you even read what I wrote?

How do you listen to music (via speakerphone, via a wired speaker, via a wireless speaker, via wired headphones, via wireless headphones, etc.)? As far as sound goes the only thing that has come up here and there has been in relation to the speakerphone being somewhat weak on the Plus model (although I can't quite recall if that applies to 6s Plus and 6 Plus or just the earlier 6 Plus), but aside from that things are more or less the same.

That aside, the main differences between iPhone 6s and 6s Plus come down to the size, screen, battery, and camera to slightly lesser degree. If you are OK with or actually want a larger device with a larger and better screen and also a larger battery that lasts longer, then the 6s Plus is the way to go. If you would rather have a somewhat smaller device, then the regular 6s is the way to go.

Of course, I know, that's what I wrote. But the problem is - I don't know what I want - larger screen and better battery or smaller device. I use headphones to listen to music, don't care about speakers... such as volume. At the moment I use Sennheiser CX-175 (it's wired, but I can use wireless in future too), with my old iPhone 5 it worked very well, especially for classic music, but I have no idea if 5S, 6S or 6S Plus is better or the same, I can't compare them. I'm sure iPhone 5 is better music phone than Galaxy Note 5 so 6S or 6S Plus will be also better anyway... I hope.
