Anandtech indepth iPhone 6s review
Suffice to say, they really seem to like the phone. For those not wanting to read the whole review (which is 15 pages long), here is the tl;dr bit at the end of the conclusion page, Quote:
Overall, after spending all this time with the iPhone 6s I can’t find anything really wrong with this phone. http://www.anandtech.com/show/9686/t...6s-plus-review
On the contrary, the A9 SoC is a huge jump in performance even relative to other SoCs on the same process node to give impressive application performance. The storage solution is unlike anything else in mobile that I’ve seen so far. The camera’s overall user experience is just about the best that you can get on the market. 3D Touch is a big improvement in user experience, while TouchID v2 and always-on Siri are worthwhile improvements in user experience. The only real issues I can think of are that the iPhone 6s doesn’t have OIS and that the base SKU is still 16GB of storage. To be fair, the 16GB SKU can become a noticeable user experience issue if you're constantly dealing with the limits of this storage, and the jump from 16 to 64 GB feels like it's simply designed to encourage buying a more expensive SKU. There are arguments that users that don't really take a ton of photos or videos and stream all their media will be fine, but it's still a user experience problem in this day and age. However, despite these issues I would argue that the iPhone 6s’ are the best phones you can buy today. |

It's no surprise. Regardless of what people rant on about regarding Apple and their phones.. they make bloody good ones.

I honestly thought i'd hate the 6 because it was bigger. I had my 5s and I was perfectly happy with it. Then I actually physically held a 6 in my hand and thought "uh-oh"

i switched from a series of android handsets to the iPhone 6s plus 128GB on launch and apart from the cost (ouch!) I've been delighted. It pretty much just works darn well. quality .

AnandTech is still a good site for the coverage on certain items (primarily the in-depth technical analysis of various CPUs and GPUs), but when it comes to phones, their mobile phone reviewers don't cover half as many as they would need to, to have a half decent idea of what half the competition is offering.
As for the current iPhones, they have incredibly powerful SoCs, but the battery life leaves a bit to be desired. At the end of the day, I'd take one of the longer-lasting Sony phones over an Apple iPhone, as the Sony would still likely have some energy left in the battery. |
