Thoughts on iPhone 6S Plus?

[dink]

After a year with the 6 I upgraded to the 6s plus a week ago and oh man there's no way I could go back to the size of the 6, let alone a 5s!

Mine 6S+ much better than the 3GS it replaced

 

[dink]

Jesus now THATS an upgrade!

3GS was 7 years old but still surprisingly usable

My battery in my 6 has just started to play up, so I am looking at the 6S/6S+ option. Is it worth upgrading now or waiting for the 7?

Why not just get the battery sorted and wait to see what Apple release later this year?

Yea that's the other option, I just dread to think what Apple charge for a battery replacement. I was only looking at the upgrades is its a "free" option.

From memory not that much via Apple when I last looked.

Great phone but I'm just so bored of iOS. I'm thinking of jumping to the new S7

I bought an S6 Edge ,lovely hardware but hated Android and moved straight back to IOS

If you've been a long term IOS user Android really doesn't feel like the "sum of its parts", it really does feel like a lot of separate app loosely integrated together (which is basically what it is)

IOS intergration is top notch and very tight, I'm sure Android is a dream if you want to customize your "look and feel" etc but for me it was just a step too far (backwards)

Maybe I just see my phone as a tool too much but what do you find boring?

£59 for new battery iirc. might be more for the 6S though.

That's not too bad, I may just get the battery fixed.

Well after nearly two weeks I can confirm its the best phone I have owned, what seemed huge when I first got it out the box is now the perfect size for a phone, anything else feels way too small in comparison.

That's the only thing I found with the + models can't fit the thing in my pocket!

This.

I can put my phone in my pocket if i'm wearing cargo pants or similar casual attire. Putting a + in my work trouser pocket and sitting down at a desk however, doesn't work. Thats about my only limitation with it.

For me, the biggest plus point is definitely the battery of the +. I regularly get 3 days use out of it

I loved the 6 Plus and liked the 6s Plus but now i'm just bored with iOS and as a result, i've ordered a S7 Edge... I'll then list my pristine 6s Plus for sale...

S7 Edge is a beast no doubt - looks awesome, but it's just those software updates and how long it takes to get them that puts me off.

At least you know with iOS that you're 100% going to get them.

I'll never buy another Samsung phone after it took them nearly 9 months to fix all the issues with the Note 4 and stop it lagging and the battery draining.
My 6 plus has been faultlessly reliable and fast.

This is the trouble with everything non-Nexus when it comes to Android. It is a massive issue.
