Both. I think for me is that I have to reach slightly lower down for the home button on the iPhone 6 that balances it out.

OIS is a solid feature that I was hoping would come too the 6s, but I have never really needed landscape on the home screen, and I find the micro iPad app style more annoying then anything. The biggest gain I would say is the battery life. The iPhone 6 is fine, but you can't really have a heavy day and expect it too live, the 6+ will basically take pretty much anything you can throw at it during the course of the day and it should be fine.
Some 6s benchmarks posted:

I'd ignore comments on there seen as it's pretty much Fanboy vs Fanboy, where very little sense is being made.
Read reviews on the 6/6+ and you can see the tests give it around 10 hours + for web browsing.

Well I managed run my iPhone 6 down from 100% to 0 in 4 hours last saturday. That was just using Safari and You Tube.
Happened to be passing the Apple shop later that day, got them to run a diagnostic... surprise surprise the battery was showing as near perfect health.
All of Apple's 10 hours etc claims are nonsense.
Just ordered 6s + last night it's saying it will be dispatched shortly.. are the cases and screen protectors going to be the same becasue I thought the new s+ was a bit thicker
How on earth did you manage to get one that's dispatching soon, when mine ordered over a week ago is still 'processing'...
What configuration did you go for? All the shipping estimates still say 3-4weeks?
I wasn't going off Apples claims though, I was going off of reviews.
Even just looking at GSM Arena's review says it should last more.

Yeah, please elaborate!
My iPhone 6s is now showing up on my support page with its serial number etc.

64gb space grey 6s + .. 3gb data with unlimited calls and txts , 40 upfront for the phone and 51 pound a month, it's in the other half's name and she txt me today saying your phone will be dispatched shortly so fingers crossed , it did say upto 4 weeks when I actually ordered but the girlfriend got the email today
In short, it's a new iPhone, so...not going to happen.
Regarding battery life, the problem is that there's huge potential variation compared with, say, a laptop. Mobile data signal can vary wildly, and the scope of conditions in which the average person will use their device is much wider than that of a laptop (e.g. required brightness levels). Therefore tests can often be taken with a pinch of salt, and battery capacity ends up being a bigger indicator than actual battery tests!
As long as the 6S Plus' battery life is very good and lasts a day of heavy usage, I'm happy. My 5S as it stands will not last working hours with email checking and push running in the background. No problem with these turned off however.
