in terms of loading, launching etc. 2gb ram wont refresh your safari page after awhile lol  tongue.gif

my 2 cents, for ios 9++ idevices definitely need 2GB of ram, at least.......

Agree. It's the only reason I went from 6 Plus to 6S Plus. Sometimes I even forget that the phone has 3D touch. biggrin.gif

For those using 6s plus, is it abit too heavy to be used one handed? I know 6 plus is already quite hefty and 6s plus is another 20g heavier.
*
depends on how big your hand is.. also depends on how big you're 'used too' (some ppl even use 7-8" tablets as their phones).. it's a matter of personal comfort and convenience, so what's heavy or huge for everyone else may not be the same for u, and vice versa. I was using a 6 before, then i bought the 6s plus. I enjoyed the bigger, sharper, full HD screen. typing was never easy, coz it's almost impossible to type long messages with one hand. but i enjoyed it because of the bigger screen. but after 5 months, i decided to go back to a smaller 6s. it's more pocket friendly, typing is a breeze, and everything could be done with one hand. but i do miss the bigger screen and most importantly the OIS. I hope the 'smaller' iPhone 7 comes with full hd and ois just as it's bigger 7 plus (if Apple remains with this 2 size marketing)

if u already think 6 plus is hefty, then it most likely is for u.

Thanks for the feedbacks. I'm actually now torn between going from 6S to either 6 plus or 6S plus.
Like I said, i've used 6 plus before and find it abit cumbersome at times. But the extra screen and battery sure makes up for that (or also due to the same reason iit's cumbersome in the first place)

Budget is not an issue blush.gif so I can go for either 6 plus or 6S plus. The thing bothering me is if it's worth the 1k upgrade now (already into the annual iphone mid cycle release) and the extra weight which in most online sites are saying it's the heaviest phone in it's class (5.5")

Of the incremental upgrade for the S model
- Live Photo - Good to have
- 3D touch - Like one of you have pointed out, don't even notice it's there most time
- 2G RAM - Think it's faster for multi taskings or apps loading. In-app experience and speed would be mostly the same
- Siri always on - I kinda use this alot these days especially driving smile.gif

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.

I would say the new SSD speed storage on the iPhone 6s is one of the biggest improvements for a smartphone. Loading speeds is so fast, i only hoped that Lightning is USB 3.1 compatible to enjoy faster syncing and data transfer.

That will be announced as a 'breaking innovation" by Tim Cook during the launch of the next iteration. laugh.gif

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..

I think anyone who's looking to get an iPhone should wait until the Apple Event on Tuesday 1am.

iPhone SE (new 4" iPhone with 6s specs) is strongly rumoured to be announced.

While there will still be people who wants a 4" phone, majority would prefer at least the 4.7" model.
