6s, all the new features.

I'm astonished at how fast the fingerprint unlocks the phone. I had to check that I had it activated, works almost instantaneously. Still getting the hang of Force Touch. Great addition.

Yeah the Touch ID is insanely fast. I'm going to have to relearn how to use my phone because I'm used to checking the time and notifications quickly by pressing the home button, but Touch ID is so quick now that the phone is already unlocked before I can read the time. I'll need to get used to using the power button instead.

3D Touch should be interesting when more third parties begin using it, at the moment it feels like a tech demo. It's cool though. It does have a very cool hidden feature that I found by accident, when you're typing some text, hard press on the keyboard and it'll turn into a trackpad, very handy!

I'm very inpressed with the camera, especially the video. Coming from a 5s, the 1080p 60fps stabilised videos look amazing. Images are really good too.

Great photos Ghost... Very sharp. You take them yourself?

Yep!

I've yet to properly test out low light images, but daytime shots are very nice.

Great photos. Not helping me hold off buying one :-(

A few more random pics I've snapped today/yesterday if anyone wants to see the quality of photos from it. They're definitely not bad quality, and considering they're pictures from a phone they're fairly impressive!

6S plus by the way.

GhostInTheRuins

Meh, I tried to attach a few but boards said they were too big. Might post more tomorrow if anyone wants.

Savage Tyrant

Very nice.
I'm interested... Post away.
I won't have mine for another few weeks :mad:

Man, the Apple Store looks a lot messier than I remember it.....:)

3D Touch is a nice feature I have it set to light I think it works better. Touch ID is lighting quick on the 6s.

Tip for TouchId that I use on my 6.

Register your thumb, index and middle of your dominant hand and your thumb on your non-dominant hand. When you don't want to unlock the phone and check the time.

Then when you buy an Apple Watch just use that for the time and register your non-dominant hand's index finger for your last TouchId finger .

Or else just press the sleep/wake button on the side.

I know it's very early days how are fellow 6s owners finding the battery life so far?

Got the phone yesterday and first full day was poor but I guess thats down to having set my phone up as a new device; installing all my new apps, downloaded 11gb music on wifi, iCloud photo library indexing & things like that. Should know more during the week.

eeloe

Only got mine yesterday morning, and it's the exact same as my 6plus, if not marginally better...

Took this photo this evening. No photo expert but it looks nice to me

Straighten the roof of the warehouse so it's completely horizontal and that'll look fantastic.

Also someone asked about battery life.

Second day. Consisted mostly of Facebook, Messages, Twitter, Snapchat, Safari & some photos and some 4K video shooting at the beach. Most browsing done while in the car struggling to find signal.

That's poor I charged the phone fully at 23:30 Saturday night mostly used for calls and safari browsing and Viber sound cloud etc the phone has not been switched off and I'm at 32% I can't post stats as the phone rebooted yesterday evening and cleared them.

The struggling to find signal will kill your battery. Most of the other stuff seems to be low %

Yeah was on Edge/3G for the most part of the day whilst driving and at the beach so I'm not too concerned about the battery just yet.

I have most things turned off tho should be able to get 8 hours usage going forward when connected to WiFi more.

Was anyone here a iPhone 6/6+ user and upgraded to a 6s/6s+?

Thinking of selling and upgrading again and was wondering is it worth while?

App switcher using 3D Touch is a another handy feature.

Yep, i had a 64gb 6 Plus, upgraded to the 64gb 6s Plus.

There really was no need for me to upgrade, other than i wanted to, the new features are awesome, the camera is fantastic.

What's involved in that ?

Creamy Goodness

Force Touch the left hand side of the screen and swipe right and the multi-tasking switcher comes up.

Can't get it to work! :P

Force touch anywhere on the homescreen is it? Or within an app?

Edit - I got it :P

Force Touch harder to select text too, this is going to be a life saver when I buy my next iPhone.
