Don't know about glass sp but 6+ power support normal sp fits 6s+ perfectly

Yes I tested by clearing cache for both my 6+ and 6s+, installed both with Purify ads blocker and load the Verge site at the same time. 6s+ loads almost instantly, after few more seconds only 6+ finished loading.

Another clear difference is the memory paging between apps. Previous annoying refreshes jumping between apps on 6+ is confirmed non existent on 6s+ even after whole day use. Truly remarkable and helps a lot with the works I do (web development)

And in term of frame buffer 6s+ is finally smooth. Previous 6+ historically has the worst framebuffer, barely enough...shamefully noticeable when minimising app. Notice 6s is now the smoothest mother jelly of all smartphones lol

Quite impressed by the 6s+ smoothness and battery life in single charge and still have 20% left juice

Can't say about ip6 to 6s but for ip6+ to ip6s+ I ll definitely choose it over the watch because of the RAM and smoothness. Like today, few of my apps that previously with 6+ I thought have software bugs of not refreshing even after I have set Background Refresh suddenly work as they should with 6s+ (memory issue).

On the watch, I have been wearing it for 4 months and it's not a must have if your budget is tight but it's a very sweet thing to have if you have the extra cash. It just make the whole using iPhone experience much much better when you are out and about or if u exercise often. Really nice little things that I really missed if I go out forgetting to wear it are like messages, whatsapp, calendar, currency complication, expenses input, navigation, music remote. It's especially good if you don't want to look like those anti social smartphone obsessed people when you are out with friends. I don't need to look at my phone or watch every other minutes for notifications, the watch will just buzz my wrist when needed. #bliss

I know this sounds counter intuitive but if you already have an iPad Air, get the Note 5 or better still Nexus 6P next month (for me) as your phone as its more interesting to try two ecosystem at the same time and it's cheaper. Using both iPad and iPhone especially 6s+ is just too much iOS for me at one time as the features and usage not significantly different, that's why I never use an iPad. Unlike the watch that enhances the experience, iPad-iPhone combo just too jialat for me personally. This will change of course with iPad Pro with Apple Pencil (waited years for this).

I use every ecosystem and brands, no insane allegiance to any manufacturer but from my record and experience (this is personal, doesn't apply to anyone!), there is just something missing from Samsung products..I tried hard to use it for long term but not one ever passed 2 months. Only 3 smartphone brands managed to stay longer than a year as my primary device - Nokia, Sony and longest Apple

After a week of use, I think the keyboard trackpad mode is the most useful feature for all the daily content editing I need to do. Implementation much better than iPad.

Like the new white silicone case with the dark grey Apple logo, like the smooth feel of the case too

Apple silicone case can be easily clean with wet wipe or eraser as compared to the permanent stain of tpu or leather case. One week later not a single stain even with sweats, grease etc.
The only problem with this case like all Apple accessories is bloodsucking overpriced haha

Probably not fit snugly coz the different thickness. I have the old 6+ silicone, 6 leather and this. The leather is worst when comes to wear and stain, can't even clean and way too expensive. The old 6 silicone is fine (grey) after months of use, only problem it is a fluff magnet and made worst by the colour. The updated white with dark Apple logo attract hardly any fluff and hide all the fluff if any coz it's white

I actually enable this feature because the coffee shop nearby my house always pickup my house WIFI but very weak signal and sites won't load. I had to temporarily disable WIFi every time I am there before iOS 9. Now don't have such problem anymore.

But I do think the implementation is not as good as Android, where instead of enable 4G unsuspectingly for user, it has option to disable WIFI if signal is weak allowing user to 'know' and 'choose' the connection they want. I have a feeling there is a patent for this. Even the WIFI Assist also is patent Apple being sued now.

For 6s+, it's the hardware that should have been used in last year 6+...

Terrible feature I know but that's what I feel

Why iPhone 6s+

I like the camera of Note 5 and LG G4.
I like the battery life of Xperia.
I like the build quality and hardware design of HTC.
I like the size and display of Note 5.
I like the Force Touch of Huawei Mate S.
I like the pure Android experience and the same day software update of Nexus.
I like the fingerprint speed and security of Nexus 6p.
I like the amount of accessories and cases choices for Samsung Galaxy.
I like the new Huawei's EMUI skin.
I like the browsing speed of S6 Edge and Z5 Compact.
I like the unique OS-hardware innovations of Motorola.
I like the security benefits of Blackberry PRIV.
I like the amount of apps available on Play Store.
I like the Huawei Watch that enhance my experience using my phone.

And that's why I bought an iPhone 6s+.

I would say Samsung phones are more Ferrari, Lamborghini than Apple, just look at the processor speed and cores and ppi! Apple maybe a BMW i3 or Leaf? Sorry not a car guy, bad at car analogy haha

My point is there are no perfect smartphone at the moment but with all the things that matter to 'me', not just narrow one or two things, but as a whole, iPhone is the best candidate as my daily driver today (notice I emphasise on "I like" because it doesn't apply to everyone).

But this conclusion is after I bought and used extended periods all other flagship devices out there for years. Heck, I even have Blackberry Passport, Classic and Q10! And I ll be first to Q to get Nexus 6p and Z5 Premium once they reach our shore.

Much happier than owning last year 6 plus.

If you have not been following this, they said this every year
(Conspiracy theorists would say these are planted by competitors to dampen the sales of iPhone, I would say news are slow these few weeks haha)

But the analysis from Kuo is reliable based on their track record and we might be seeing on the 4" iPhone 6c early 2016.

after years following Apple rumours sites, appleinsider is the least reliable site when comes to rumours. They basically rojak every rumours they can scourge online and make up some extra to post on their site. Typical examples are like this post, it was originally posted by 9to5mac yesterday on the reliable KGI analysis of 4" 6c early 2016 and usual September after ios10 iPhone 7 release predictions. Then they throw in their typical fashion "sources familiar with the matter" unknown people they know of to jazz up the article today to create a more linkbaity article.

Even without the article, common sense can tell you iPhone 6s though looks similar to last year model is nothing alike in term of hardware..from the new aluminium body, screen, display logic, sensor, processor, network chips, RAM, camera etc. Even the thickness is different. Only the "look" is the same. That's why they use the cheesy tag line "The only thing that is changed is everything". Compared to a much smaller volume of production like SONY or HTC, it's impossible for Apple to introduce new high volume manufacturing and tooling equipments within 6 months for another flagship phone.

If you've subscribed to Apple related podcasts, you ll know how strained it is for Apple engineers even with the current 1-year cycle to optimise not just hardware but both software and hardware whenever releasing a new phone. The level of integration and optimisation between hardware and software for an iPhone is crazy. That's why the first iOS version releases are always buggy.

Most reliable sources at the moment are Mark Gurman and KGI
