Time, because it rules EVERYTHING!
Had a play with the 6S today, the 3D touch is actually cool now I've found a phone it's working on, I tried a phone in the Apple store and was buggy it seems.
I like the camera shortcuts especially and the calender one. IOS is iOS of course. But I also like the curved glass. Think I'll plumb for one. The camera was fast at saving photos too, tried normal and HDR, focusing was fast also.
I did try the 4K video but it only did it for a few seconds before stopping? No idea what storage the phone had though.

Anyway, it'll do. Compliment my Sony tablet and a new iPod touch nicely.

Has anyone seen the rose gold in person? It is quite feminine?
Not quite as pink as I thought. Not for me but it isn't too pink that guys would feel damn that's girly

Here is my girlfriends 6s

My 6S+ arrived. 3D Touch sensitivity is taking some getting used to.

Yeah especially when trying to move apps around but I got use to it by now.

As switcher due to work paying for everything and no TMO band 12 around my work area. 6s+ is a pretty good phone but I do miss a bunch of things from Android though.

I got my 6s going last night. I agree about the 3D touch taking some getting use to. I'm not sure it's very important till most apps include it, at least to me. But coming from a 4S, wow on the speed. :)

Touch ID is so fast ...

3D Touch is very handy, maybe not essential but I can imagine becoming so used to it that I'll be going to my other devices and doing same gestures missing it. The 3D Touch to multitasking is very handy indeed.

Device in general is extremely fast. I see I have the samsung chip ...

Is anyone else having issues with the Music from apps like Pandora pausing when opening up the camera? I've live photos disabled and I'm using the default camera app. I'm on iOS 9.0.2.

I've started using my right (non-fingerprinted) thumb to check notifications.

I have the Samsung chip, too.

My 6S+ arrived. 3D Touch sensitivity is taking some getting used to.

Took me three days to get accustomed to it, but I set sensitivity to "light".

Have you had a chance to use it on the keyboard yet?

I did the same and it improved the experience, IMO. It does take a little getting used to but it's now second nature for me. I've been pleasantly surprised how many of my apps have already added 3D Touch. Would be nice if we could select from a set of options the developer provides for the 4 3D Touch buttons but overall, I still really like the feature.

Fast and it doesn't refresh like the Note 5. If I could find the video, I'll link it down the road.

Yeah amazed it managed to keep 12 apps and 4 games fully in memory when I was testing earlier. Now I'd never normally have that much stuff open but the fact it did it without any issue is quite something.


The new 6S Plus feels heavier than the 6 plus. Kind of wishing I had stuck with white this year rather than black but I'll get over that.

Overall of 6S:

Strong competition from rivals means that the Apple iPhone 6s actually moves down in our rankings. The Moto X Style and Google’s Nexus 6P bracket the 6s on performance, but are significantly cheaper to own.

Apple’s technology is unable to keep noise at competitive levels; in fact, noise level is much higher than what can be found on the current leaders of our database.

Detail preservation in bright light has slightly improved with respect to the iPhone 6, but the overall score remains low compared to the best in its class.

The iPhone 6s performed well in our video assessment, with good results in exposure and autofocus accuracy, white balance reliability and color rendering.

Strength and weakness are the same than the previous Apple iPhone 6.

Overall, the Apple iPhone 6s continues to offer a good balance of performance and top-notch user experience, but those looking to upgrade from the iPhone 6 Plus might not find it appreciably compelling; however it’s likely that anyone with an earlier model will be lining up.
