At the moment
3D Touch feels like a work in progress. With the exception of the already excellent ‘peek' previews
It feels like untapped potential. It will take more app makers getting fully on board to make it more than just a glorified right-click. I
The 16GB option still exists
Why?
4K video feels unnecessary
Battery life is basically the same
About the iPhone 6s
Here are some areas the iPhone 6s falls short

Price
16GB base storage
No OIS
Battery life is the same
3D Touch is still in early stages
Live Photos feels more of a gimmick than an actual feature
Same as always
Expensive
No microSD card slot and battery is sealed inside
Barely adequate battery life
Single speaker not forward facing
Non industry standard power connector
3D Touch needs to grow
Only a minor improvement
Lacklustre battery life
Front-facing camera could be sharper. Average battery life
It has the same battery life as the iPhone 6. You'll need to buy a larger iPhone 6S Plus or upgrade to an iPhone 7 for better battery life
Plus optical image stabilization for photos and video
Average battery life
Measly 16GB of storage in base models
IPhone 6s has low-res scree
Below-average battery life
Touch ID slays notifications
And they were already halfdead anyway
Weaker signal strength than previous generations
No OIS in the camera
More costly than most competition
Not Apple's most beautiful design
Battery life could be better
Will take developers time to support 3D Touch
16GB of storage in the base model is ridiculous

Especially in low light
Some color shading visible in indoor conditions
Slightly yellow cast visible in outdoor conditions
Abstract: When I picked up an iPhone 6S today, my first thought was: “what's the fuss. It looks much the same as last year's model.” But then Apple's new marketing slogan rang in my ear: “The only things that's changed is everything.”I'm not partial to marketing sl...

Improved construction, 3D Touch will reap genuine benefits, Faster processor and double the RAM, 12MP rear and 5MP front camera, TouchID is among the best finger scanners
Cameras lack OIS and could be higher in resolution, Battery life still lesser than rivals
camera performance impresses with bold colours, a wide dynamic range and a knack for detail. Photos are laden with a picturesque finish and image noise is kept to a minimum, unless photos are blown right up to their native 12-megapixel resolution. The la...
If you didn't mind the smaller screen, then the original iPhone SE was arguably better than both the iPhone 6 and 6s, so it's no surprise at all that its new incarnation is a superior device in all departments. The powerful A13 Bionic processor puts it on...
Back in 2015 when the iPhone 8s launched it was a significant update, despite the fact that critics usually look upon s-updates as minor updates. The update bought some significant changes though, including 3D Touch, a much better camera, Live Photos, mor...
Abstract: Apple's iPhone 6 range caused quite a few upsets for longstanding iPhone users. For the first time in the iPhone's history, you couldn't get an iPhone with a 4in display. People weren't happy. This is why we got the iPhone SE; it was an apology from Appl...

I've been pretty positive in my last few iPhone reviews, largely because Apple has got very little wrong. Year after year, it has churned out new models with great success, alternatively boosting power and camera resolution, then refining the design to th...

Series 7000 aluminium will protect the phone, 3D Touch adds a new way to interact with your iPhone, Live Photos will be great to look back on in future, Touch ID is much faster and more responsive, Now cheaper with the release of the iPhone 7
Same display resolution as the iPhone 6, No fast charging, No wireless charging, Camera performance in low light isn't the best
We're really impressed by the offerings of the iPhone 6s, especially the 3D Touch technology. If it catches on, 3D Touch will completely change how people interact with their iPhones, both in terms of browsing the web and social media as well as when gami...

It's not quite as new and shiny as it once was, but the iPhone 6s still has a lot to offer for budget-conscious users. Performance is still up there with some of the best Android devices on the market, and the design hasn't aged all that much. If you c...
Tim Cook called the iPhone 6S' 3D Touch a game-changer, and I'm inclined to agree. It became second nature to use it after only a couple of weeks' use, The native apps are already using the system well, and it's quickly becoming a fun game to work out whe
The battery life of the iPhone 6S leaves a lot to be desired – and while I'm a big fan of 3D Touch, I'm not sure that I'm happy with the fact I have to accept lower battery longevity to have the privilege, If Apple ever launches a smaller phone with the k
Apple's idea that ‘The only thing that's changed is everything' seems instantly to be a bit of misnomer. Yes, on paper you can point to a lot of things: improved structure, new interface method, Live Photos, a sharper camera, a more powerful engine, but i...
