ic... if you've already decided to go for the plus model, and ur already using a 6s at the moment, then the phone ur looking for is 6s plus (since budget isn't an issue). remember, the only thing that's changed is everything!! it's more sturdy (6 plus may succumb to the bendgate issue), and the most important factor is it's faster! newer processor coupled with bigger ram, what other reason do u need.

don't worry about value drop when the 7 comes out.. it's bound to happen, it WILL drop a certain % for the 6s, but it will drop even more for the 6. u still have 7 months to enjoy the phone before the new one comes out. and when the 7 comes out, together with iOS 10... the 6 is gonna lag even more. long story cut short, if money isn't an issue, better upgrade.

Seriously, do you really think it's faster? Coming from 6 & 6 plus to 6s, don't really feel it's much faster other than the multi taskings and apps loading.

I concur to that. Apparently, smartphones technology has come to a point where improvements are only marginal. Now you see phone manufacturers claim that the new iteration of their smart phones are faster, have a better camera, a sharper display. The improvements, I can say are only nominal to what is actually required by users. IMO, I think you would need to skip 2 to 3 iterations of the phone to really see the improvements from now on.

Ha. And I in turn concur to that.

when upgrading of course we feel all those claimed speed improvements as 'marginal'. remember using the first or earlier iPhones and felt how fast they were, wondering how much faster could smartphones really be? try downgrading, maybe then u will realize what u've missed. also, even if the whole world tells u the 6s is faster, with technical and real usage proof, but if you're contented with 6, why bother asking, just get what u think is worth.

checkout THIS comparison video.. the main reason i upgraded..

Already bite the bullet yesterday. Upgraded my 6s to 6s plus now.
I'm loving it.

Hey guys, so i tried to restore my whatsapp chat history but it stated that there was no backup found. When i open icloud, i can see the whatsapp backup file there. Did u guys encounter this? How did u all restore messages?
*
I normally restore my whatsapp messages via the Whatsapp app. Not via icloud.
Got to your Whatsapp -> Chat -> Chat Backups and then start the backup
After that reinstall Whatsapp and it'll ask if you want to restore from the last backup

Not too sure then. Try manually start a fresh backup from Whatsapp and check if it'll be able to restore

who knows, if really around 2k I think it definitely affect 6s sales laugh.gif

I would think these are 2 different classes of iphones.
Small tiny screen 4" vs the more reasonable mainstream 4.7"

And the price bracket is also around 1k difference (We can get a 5.5" xiaomi with less than that)

If anything I would think the SE is just a iphone 5s(s)

Speculations is that it'll be around 2099k

Upgraded my 6s+ to 9.3

Didn't noticed any bug so far. Similar smoothness / performance to 9.2.1

The night shift mode is really like F.lux
Good that we don't have to rely on jail break anymore to get this feature

iOS 9.3 is shit. Don't upgrade it. I'm having an error when tapping on links in Safari.

For good order, I would like to say this.....Obviously, there is no perfect phone. Heck, there is no perfect anything.

When people post here, naturally, it would be more negatives than positives. Not too many will post compliments. On top of that, those in the former category are not large in numbers in relationship to the ownerships of the phone. Therefore, the analogy is that anyone wants to update the firmware of the phone should not be influenced by the negative posts here. If you happen to encounter problems after that, then you are in the minority and luck is not on your side.
*
I don't agree. If there are lotsa users complaining of issues then its not a minority or isolated cases.
Apple as mentioned is already aware of the issue and is working on a fix so the smart way to go is to wait for it.
Ios 9.3 is nothing ground breaking so if you are happy with the previous/current ios (ie9.2.1) then there's no urgency to upgrade and risk having encountering a brick or unstable device

Just my 2 cents

Perhaps I should have qualified or expounded more. I was more referring to the forum here vis-a-vis when complaints were made on a particular issue. Then again, when the manufacturer/supplier/vendor, if you will, acknowledges that there is a problem, say for example, a certain defective car part, then yes, the issue is a major one. Not when certain individuals encountering problems and sulk about it in a forum does it mean it is a problem per se.

As for iOS 9.3, the problem affects the older versions of iDevices, not the newer iterations which Apple has acknowledged and set right, as we speak(type). So, for a lot of us having the latest iOS gadgets, I believe there aren't too many problems or none at all. That, in a nutshell was my contention.

A caveat here, I am not one of the iFags as some of you coined here. I am never brand loyal. I own Android, iOS and even Windows gadgets. I am just pragmatic in my approach to matters like this.

But alas, the gadgets in your hands are yours and therefore it is your prerogative to do what you want with them. We all here post what we feel and hopefully for some people, serious consideration but definitely just light reading for no smaller groups.

Not exactly bro that the bugs (ie safari) are affecting older devices. Those having the latest 6s also kena this. A quick search online will show that it is a widely spread issue.
As of the time of writing (AFAIK) the latest fixes by Apple have not resolved this. Keep waiting for maybe 9.3.1

Yeah, I read it. But only some of the latest iterations are affected. And I am not disputing that this is a major issue as you put it. And if it's anything to go by, all my iOS devices have no problems with this latest update and I have quite a few.

I can sort of attest to that.
2 of my latest gen. idevices are no having any prob. with iOS 9.3
While I'm holding back in upgrading my other idevices (although for altogether different reason biggrin.gif )

Attest to that or not. There are conditions in which the issue on links doesn't work and it's not limited to Safari. It isn't due to hardware iterations. It's purely software, iOS.
For me, I have an iPhone 6 plus and iPhone 6s. Both 9.3. I'm having this problem only on iPhone 6s, cause I got Booking.com app installed. iPhone 6 plus is okay.

I saw this reddit thread and got a "fix"... now no issue.
https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/4cf...hing_bugs_when/

Summary: It's due to universal link feature introduced in earlier iOS. App can submit a reference file to say what URL links will trigger which app to intercept. Booking.com screwed up a lot by having links that doesn't belong to it also.

Read the reddit thread on this.

Ios 9.3.1 released to fix the url bug
