Welcome to 2012 year to iPhone6S...
The miserable disadvantages stuff comes from Apple's :-
1) No microSD slot
2)Pricey memory upgrades, 32GB version should be standard for such an expensive phone
3)Protruding camera lens makes the phone wobble
4)Lacks the optical image stabilization of the iPhone 6s Plus
5)NFC functionality limited to Apple Pay
6)No wireless charging, an infrared port, or FM radio
7)No enhanced resistance to liquids or dust
8)No user-replaceable for the small capacity battery

Tom, 02 Oct 2015I think you'll find slot of major review websites are proba... moreAs far as sponsoring people to promote their products, i think it's more samsung who does it. As someone who worked at retailers, apple is the only company for which they never give us gifts or have any sort of draws or retailer specific trainings to get discounts, while everyone else (samsung, hp, amd, etc) bribes us as much as possible to sell their products

That battery runtime out of that battery capacity? Certainly something android should shave (several) slices off of. Also, nice performance from "only" a dualcore. Now if it wasn't for the price, the platform lock-in and the lack of SD slot, I might have even considered it.

Samsung was the I caught paying for positive comments, threatening bloggers, and paying off officials. Not to mention cheating on benchmarks.

dexterouz, 02 Oct 2015A9 is a beast. Thanks to Apple and Samsung for CPU, chipset... moreSamesung is only manufacturing about 40% of the A9 chips. TSMC produces the rest. Apple's architecture design is its own, licensed from ARM (of which it is a co-founder). And its NAND controllers for storage are custom designed, implementing PCIe rather than the usual eMMC or UFS controllers (see Anandtech's preliminary findings).

The iPhone is better designed and I like using it a bit better. The Note 5 has a better camera (mostly noticeable in low light), but the iPhone is damned good too. I am getting the 6S+ in about a month :)

"... Retina flash the entire screen will light up in white and provide some extra light as long as you keep close to it. It's something we've seen other manufactufrers do for a few years now, but Apple went a step further...."
Apple have this function in the iMac since 2003 or 2000 for the iSight camera built-in the computer. The monitor will flash white while taking a picture.

In terms of gaming: (i manage to play it from 6s and note4)
NBA 2k15
Note4 - sometimes rattles the sound and lag are distinguishable. The phone quickly felt hot on hands.
6s - no lag so far, the sound are good and no rattles. You will feel the device warming on hands when it play long but not as quick from note4.
Messaging on 6s is slightly better. Im using 6s for my default messaging and calling because i found it much easy and good typing.
Im not fan of amoled coz it turns me to oversaturated and it hurts my eye for a long time view. I prefer natural colors of the screen. So i set the note4 for normal/natural screen. But i think 6s produce better color contrast and more realistic.

Fear, 02 Oct 2015I wonder now ,where are those paper specs junkies who cons... moreBecause they don't have deeper understanding behind those specs. They just look at the raw numbers like cpu ghz speed, number of cores, screen resolution etc.
Apple has always been ahead hardware-wise, and it's not just because of optimization and efficiency. They hands down overpower everything else especially in the CPU department. They may only have 2 cores, but they are super-cores. A single A9 core easily outperforms 8 Cortex A-53 cores. Android fanboys keep saying more cores is better for multithreading bla blah, but what they fail or still ignore to understand is that over 90% of apps are single threaded.

I usually trust gsmarena reviews, but since it was a late review, i went to read reviews all around the web. There's two major differences between what gsmarena says and what the rest of the world says: according to gsmarena, touch id is only among the best, while everyone else believes it's the best period. And camera wise, gsmarena says there is a lot of post processing while everyone else thinks the 6s camera is the one that offers the most natural pictures and colours among 2015 smartphones (as compared with galaxy s6's heavy sharpening and processing)

I wonder now ,where are those paper specs junkies who constantly bash Apple for outdated hardware.How come every year Apple manages to outpreform the top android phones with specs from 2010 ? When will you start to understand that beefed up specs are useless without true optimisation and quality.
