Agree with all of this. If your getting a 6s 16GB simply isnt enough. I have a 5 and regularly run out of space. With the live photos and 4k video, 16GB would fill up quickly. I just got the 128GB.
Just did some math on the new sprint "iphone forever" trade in. Unless I'm missing something it looks pretty appealing.
First off, you need to be in an area where Sprint is good...I know they're probably the 2nd to least or least preferred carrier, but my wife has no issues with them at all, and they're the best priced...so as long as you're good with Sprint, this appears to makes sense.
For unlimited text, talk and data; you'll be paying $60/month. For an additional $22/month, you lease the phone and are able to upgrade for free when a new phone comes out.
To really find out if it's worth it, you need to figure out what the cost would be if you purchased the phone outright ($649) unlocked through apple. Assuming you did that, and wanted to sell it after a year, you can probably get about $439 for it on ebay (about $400 after fees). So your cost of carrying the phone for a year is $20.75/month. Really a negligible difference of a buck or so a month and you get to automatically upgrade without going through all of the selling hassle.
Plus, if you trade in your smart phone now, the $22/month gets reduce to $15 for the first 22 months.
All these #s are for the 16GB 6s....the plan goes up $5/month for the 64GB, but obviously so would the sale price of the phone, so there's a correlation there

Cell coverage. If you live someone and go places that sprint works well in, then it's good. Problem is their coverage is spotty in many locations.Just did some math on the new sprint "iphone forever" trade in. Unless I'm missing something it looks pretty appealing.

Pretty much what most of the guys said prior to getting the plus. It's similar to how I felt as well but after getting the plus no way I could go back to a 6/6s and I don't have Otis hands.still think it's way too big for me. not interested in carrying that monster around all the time and pulling it out to use on the el, etc.

Eh... I know two folks who downsized. I have zero regrets going with the 6. Some folks want that phablet experience but it's definitely not for me. I don't doubt some folks wish they went 6+, but I think the "Everyone wishes they would have gone bigger" effect is pretty seriously overblown by a few folks in here.
Signed, 6' tall guy with Otis-ish hands (wear a size 13 shoe) who prefers the one-handed use of the 6.
Yep.

So I have a light leak/broken pixel situation right in the middle of my 6 screen. Unless the image is black, there is a bright white dot right in the middle of the screen. Is this something they will swap out at the genius bar if the phone is still under warranty?

So some people, including myself, had the issue of not being able to update apps after the ios9 install.
Solution: sign out of your apple account, then sign back in.

I went with the 6s plus after chastising it as too big when the 6 plus came out. My turning point was being at a neighborhood party and having all 3 of my neighbors pull out their 6 plus phones. I asked them if any of them felt it was too big, and they all said no way and that they could never go back to the smaller ones.Pretty much what most of the guys said prior to getting the plus.

Man...It's hard to talk about this topic without penis innuendos.
Ended up switching to Verizon and sharing data, gonna save about $20/month and we'll both be on new phones every 2 yearsJust did some math on the new sprint "iphone forever" trade in. Unless I'm missing something it looks pretty appealing.

Through AT&T you can buy it via several next options, subsidized at the $199, 299 etc prices, and full price up front. Right below the next, click 2 year contract or no annual contract and it will change the pricing to those.
You can also buy it from Apple full price or on their new monthly plan.
for people on a family share plan, if you buy the subsidized version, you lose your monthly discounts. So, it ends up being more expensive overall.

Maybe a stupid question.....
But why does the "e-mail" app have nearly a GB of data on my 16 GB phone when the e-mail is a gmail account? Isn't all the data "in the cloud"? I mean, it's not physically stored on my phone, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see the same e-mails on my computers and such. What's actually being stored, and why is it so large?

Just like any other IMAP client, the iPhone syncs your emails from, in your case GMail, to your phone. They do get stored locally on your phone. There is an option to only sync the last few days, or a month, but then if you want to go back and see prior emails, you'd have to re-sync.
The other option would be to use the GMail app. Nothing stored locally with that one... works just like the GMail web interface.

Woah... I've had beta iOS 9.1 installed a few days now and had 9 for a few months. I saw in an article about iOS 9 integrated Siri...
I texted back and forth with my mom yesterday about dropping by her house this afternoon. Her house isn't anywhere near mine and in completely different towns 100 miles apart. Typically if I scroll the "today" down it will tell me how long it takes to get home. I just scrolled it down and it told me how far it is to my mom's house.
