Arrived LAX late Friday night. Went to my purse to summon Uber and my phone was gone
When I got home the "Find my phone app" showed that it was on the jetway at LAX. I locked the phone and gave up any hope of getting it back.
The next day I spent hours on my computer trying to find a 6S in the L.A. area. It is a nightmare losing your phone the day the new Apple IPhone is released. I had been using the 6+. I finally found a store which had a 6s in stock. I find that I prefer the 6s to my former big 6+. Nice phone & I love the camera.

I upgraded from the 6 Plus.
Switching to T Mobile who will pay off the installments on my 6 Plus, which I've had since February.
One of the main reasons for switching is better camera. I like taking panos with the iPhone and 6S Plus will have many upgrades including many not so well publicized:
- higher resolution panos
- video stabilization for slow-mo and time lapse modes as well as for regular video modes.
- 1080p 120fps mode for slow mo. The 6 Plus only has 720p for slow mo.
- higher overall dynamic range despite the increase in pixels.
Here's a detailed review of the 6S and 6S Plus camera:

I suspect using those external lenses helped this reviewer make such great images.

I disagree with them that the 6s is no better, but I do agree that it is still behind many android options. (I'm an iPhone user)

Well I have my Nikon DSLR for low light photos.
But I liked the 6 Plus camera to supplement the DSLR so pretty sure the 6S Plus will be a noticeable improvement for the videos and photos I take.

I'm starting to get the hang of the different things. I'm finding that its use in Safari to be the best. I can open a link in a pop up to see if I want to actually read the link. (Really a time saver on Reddit.) More apps are starting to take advantage of it. Instagram, Twitter, Safari, and Messages are where I use it the most. It is kinda like Apple Pay, not prevalent at first, but will be pretty much everywhere soon.
