    Great new iOS version 9.01. local business information is given after sliding left of the 1st panel. For example you will get many restaurant information wherever you are stopping. 6s and 6s plus both have got beautiful case of gold color. 64G and 128G of memory are so sufficient that you don't need to worry to renew a new version of iOS system, or to add more apps, so to get most out of iphone.

    I was not a fan of how big it seemed the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus when they came out. I stand corrected!!! I upgraded from the iPhone 5s, and I am very happy with the 6s. The screen is bigger, which makes things easier to see, games that much bigger, but the screen is only one of the improvements. The upgraded camera is a big improvement, allowing for "live" pictures to be taken, where it is a mini video, which is a still picture when not clicked. The ability to touch the screen firmly and see the look in feature for emails and links when surfing on Safari is a nice feature. It only took a little getting used to to figure out how hard to press to do look in, and to select something. Apple has done it again. Even though it costs more, I highly suggest the 128GB model... You won't have to worry about storage space for system upgrades, and will have lots of room for videos or live photos.

    I love this phone! It is so fast and I love the size of the screen. I love the 3D Touch feature as well. It's nice to be able to preview emails before you open them. I like the Live Photos too. It takes really good pictures too.

    Best iPhone To Date

    128 GB seems like a lot to most people, to others we await the days of 1 TB+ storage. This increase in size from my 5s was not something I looked forward to as I want a phone, not a tablet to fit comfortably into my pocket and be able to easily access the entire phone with one hand. The larger size has proven to make my fears a reality. I also don't like the switch of the power button to the side instead of the top, although I understand the principle of attempting to make it more accessible with one hand as retaining the button at the top would be quite a reach if not impossible without moving your hand or using another. Yet, with these complaints, the new features and increased storage have made the transition more compliant. The camera increasing from 8 MP to 12 MP and the front facing camera increasing from 1.2 MP to 5 MP are enough to make the leap. The 3D Touch, Apple Pay, increased battery life, 5K Video Recording, "Harry Potter" Photos a.k.a. Live Photos, and increased storage are all individually enough to make the transition as well.

    I upgraded from a iPhone 5S. I was concerned about using the phone one handed. With the 6S I am still able to do that. The screen looks amazing. I like the screen size when using zoom. It has a lightning fast camera. Great picture quality. The CPU is fast. Apps work quick. Wifi works great for me @ 93mbps. Battery life is way better than the 5S. I'm also using Apple's 50gb iCloud storage plan which costs $0.99 a month. It restored my 5S settings, contacts, apps, pics seamlessly into the 6S. Overall I'm very happy with my iPhone 6S.

    Great phone; not sure if it was worth the upgrade.

    To begin, I love the Apple eco-structure and have enough Apple devices at home to open my own Apple store. Being able to share purchased apps, songs, movies, etc. with my family members is great, and utilizing iCloud to synchronize things between my phone (iPhone), tablet (iPad), and computers (Macs) is the icing on the cake that keeps me locked into Apple products. With that being said, the 6s is a great phone, but may not be for everyone, depending on what phone you already have. The new features, such as 3D touch, a faster Touch ID, 4K video, and the like are nice, but are not that revolutionary (or evolutionary) compared to the iPhone 6 I had previously. 4K video takes up a lot more space and, from what I can tell, still only uses H264 (as opposed to H265) encoding, despite the fact H265 is apparently used for FaceTime. I have had the phone for a couple weeks and have yet to utilize the 3D Touch feature. (Then again, I have something similar on my MacBook and have yet to use its Force Touch feature on the trackpad.) Unlike some of the gestures used with a multi-touch display, the 3D Touch is not that intuitive for me. I rarely take selfies, so the screen flash is not a big deal and, while some people are saying the phone and camera is faster that previous editions, I really have not noticed much of a difference. The Touch ID is indeed faster at recognizing my finger, which has actually been a problem as pushing the home button typically simultaneously unlocks my phone, which is not always what I want (especially when I am just trying to see the time or want to use the lock screen feature to open my camera, which is faster than navigating for the icon on the home screen). iOS 9 has some nice features, but you can run it on older phones with the same features. Oh, it also comes in rose gold now, which doesn't matter one little bit to me as I keep my phone in a case all the time anyway. Lastly, I have not even played around with the Live Photos feature. It looked kind of cool during the Apple keynote (made me think of Harry Potter, actually, with the moving photographs in the Daily Prophet), but the "pictures" take up almost twice the space, you have to remember to hold your phone still for 3/4 of a second after you take a picture, and the video it records both before and after the picture is at 15 fps, which apparently does not handle motion very well. If I want a video, I'll simply record a video. (I can always extract a single frame from a video, if I really wanted a still picture.) Again, it sounds like a neat feature, but I really have not had the impetus to turn it on. If I had an iPhone 5s or earlier, this would have been a great upgrade. Just the extra screen real estate to 4.7" would make it worth the upgrade. If you already have an iPhone 6, however, I would think twice about this particular upgrade, unless one of the new features is more important to you than it has proven to be for me.

    The speed gains coming from the iPhone 5s to the 6s is quite impressive. Still getting used to the bigger screen size, but with all the processing and camera improvements, it's something I don't mind doing.

    I went from a 5s to this one, so I'm happy with the bigger screen size. The fingerprint response is much faster and the pictures also seem to be much improved. The 3D Touch is pretty cool, but I expect that to get even more useful as more developers Integrate it into their apps.

    My phone broke the day after Christmas. I didn't want to spend too much for a new phone and they had a graeat deal on the 128g iPhone 6s. Much better and faster than my old iPhone 5.

    The 6S is the last of its generation & the last iPhone to have the dedicated headphone jack. This is an essential for Baby Boomers and Gen X users. The purchase through Best Buy was simple and you only need to install the SIM card and make a call (contact information provided by Best Buy) and your in business...Enjoy!!

    I was replacing a 2 year old IPhone 5 with failing battery life. So far the battery life on the 6s is great. I only charge it up every other day and that is with work use, texting, games and some phone conversations. The processor doesn't seem to much faster and browsing the net is about the same as my 5. I didn't see the huge jumps in speed like when I went from an iPhone 4 to the 5. There aren't many downsides so far. There seems to be a lag after the security code is entered or the touch ID is used before it will register other screen touches. I also am not a fan of the larger screen. While sometimes it is easier to read things, the phone itself takes up a lot more pocket space. I am also still on the fence with the side power button. Anything requiring me to hit it usually also has me hitting the volume buttons on the other side. All in all, if you are an apple fan you will like the phone but if you are already using a 6 I am not sure the upgrade to the S will see much of a performance jump.

    I have only ever had an android, and I finally got fed up with that life because they always got slow and overloaded. This iphone is great, I've only had it for a month but it's so wonderful to have a phone that doesn't make you wait 2+min to open any app or text message. I love all the extra storage because I take a lot of pictures and enjoy being able to have a variety of apps compared to my last phone that had 8gb with a micro sd for pictures. Go for an iphone over an android if you're debating!

    I dropped my android phone in water. Just for a second, I swear! It promptly died even after many attempts to revive it. I bought this phone after checking reviews online. My sister has this phone and she loves her Apple gadgets, so I asked her opinion and looked at her phone. I had 32gb on my previous phone and wanted more storage as I take a lot of photos. The camera is easy to use and takes nice crisp pictures. It would be good for a beginner.

    I've had an iPhone 6 for over 2.5yrs and love it! Issues are rare and easily resolved throughout Apple updates. My husband had a Samsung Galaxy android phone that died. After many problems, I convinced him to switch to the iPhone 6s, and now he's hooked. Love the live pictures, vivid color imagery, ease of IOS system. The 6s is the perfect size. Best Buy had better offer on the phone than Verizon. Setting up the phone to activate it was quick and easy.
