So, now you’re ready for that upgrade. But which iPhone is right for you this time around? Even though they look almost exactly the same on the surface, this ‘S’ cycle has seen quite a a spruce up on the inside.

How is the iPhone 6S different from the iPhone 6S Plus? Let’s lay this one out, nice & clear.

iPhone 6S Plus vs iPhone 6S: Design
iPhone 6S Plus: 7.3mm thick, 192g, series 7000 anodised aluminium back, Space Grey/Silver/Gold/Rose GoldiPhone 6S: 7.1mm thick, 143g, series 7000 anodised aluminium back, Space Grey/Silver/Gold/Rose Gold
Both the iPhone 6S Plus & the iPhone 6S look nigh-on identical to lớn their immediate predecessors, which means that they also look very similar lớn one another – with one notable difference.
The obvious thing, which most of you may already know, is size. Just lượt thích the last generation, the iPhone 6S has a 4.7-inch screen while the iPhone 6S Plus has a larger 5.5-inch one.
It’s a separation fairly similar khổng lồ that of the Galaxy S6 & its bigger brothers, the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus or cảnh báo 5. However, the iPhone 6S Plus is actually pretty big even for a phone of its screen size.
Some of you may find its 77.9mm width a bit too much to lớn handle. It’s even wider than the 5.7-inch note 5, for example. That said, whenever we end up thinking a phone is too big we usually just sink into how it rolls after a few days.

The two phones might look similar to their predecessors, but they’ve actually been built in a fundamentally different way thanks khổng lồ last year’s internet hoo-hah. The iPhone 6 Plus became a bit infamous because of the whole bendgate scandal, the claim it had a tendency to bend just from the pressures of your pocket.
Apple has addressed this by upgrading the body toàn thân from some khung of (unnamed) bog standard aluminium alloy to 7000-series aluminium, a formulation used in all manner of high-end aluminium constructions including the táo bị cắn Watch Sport. Both the iPhone 6S & iPhone 6S Plus use this alloy style, but it’s one to lớn bear in mind if you were put off by all those reports of bendy Plus phones earlier this year.
Bendgate is gone.
iPhone 6S Plus vs iPhone 6S: Screen
iPhone 6S Plus: 5.5-inch, 1920 x 1080, 401 ppi, 3d TouchiPhone 6S: 4.7-inch, 1334 x 750 IPS LCD, 326 ppi, 3d Touch
The other big thing lớn consider is, of course, the screen itself. Living with a 4.7-inch phone và a 5.5-inch one is a totally different prospect.
It’s doubly important if you’re moving from a recent apk phone, whose display may well be bigger than 4.7 inches across. The larger screen is much better for watching video, for playing games and even for browsing. There are some pretty great pay-offs for that extra aluminium bulk in your pocket.
The question is: how much digital stuff vày you consume on your phone? If you’re a big gamer or watch Netflix on your phone all the time, the iPhone 6S Plus will be the much better entertainment buddy.
Size is the main difference here, as both screens otherwise offer excellent image quality. Colour, contrast và sharpness are all great, able lớn go head-to-head with apk phones that have a clear spec benefit. You see, the iPhone 6S’s 1334 x 750 pixel screen is only a bit above 720p resolution và the iPhone 6S Plus is 1080p when several app android phones have moved up khổng lồ QHD at this point.

Both phones have Apple’s new touch 3d system stashed under those toughened Ion-X displays, too.
What’s 3d Touch? This is Apple’s iPhone take on a pressure sensitive screen, letting you access handy little shortcuts và previews throughout quả táo 9 by pressing more, or less, hard.
You can preview emails & website links, jump straight lớn key functions from app icons, và more. It still needs third tiệc nhỏ developers to lớn update their apps (which they’re beginning to do) before it’s a real hit, but the potential is vast.
3D cảm ứng is the reason why both the iPhone 6S Plus và the iPhone 6S are thicker and heavier than their predecessors, but it’s a worthwhile trade-off all-round.

iPhone 6S Plus vs iPhone 6S: Performance
iPhone 6S Plus: táo bị cắn dở A9 64-bit dual-core 1.84GHz, PowerVR GT7600 GPU, 2GB RAMiPhone 6S: apple A9 64-bit dual-core 1.84GHz, PowerVR GT7600 GPU, 2GB RAM
In terms of performance, the two phones are almost identical. Both utilise Apple’s new 64-bit A9 CPU, which boasts a faster clock speed than previous models and a significantly faster GPU.
In fact, the A9 CPU manages a 70 percent boost over last year’s A8, while the PowerVR GT7600 GPU provides a 90 percent graphical boost.

Web pages & apps are now kept in stasis for much longer, which means that they’re ready and waiting when you jump to lớn them in the new-look multitasking menu – not loading up afresh as they would be with last year’s models.
You might have noticed that we said performance was almost the same. Well spotted. There’s actually a slight different in the iPhone 6S’s favour, simply thanks to its lower resolution display.
Fewer pixels to lớn push means less CPU và GPU grunt required, but the difference is negligible bordering on non-existent in day lớn day usage.
iPhone 6S Plus vs iPhone 6S: Camera
iPhone 6S Plus: 12-megapixel, phase detection, OIS, dual LED ‘True Tone’ flash, 4K video, 1.2-megapixel front cameraiPhone 6S: 12-megapixel, phase detection, dual LED ‘True Tone’ flash, 4K video, 1.2-megapixel front camera
Again, the camera công nghệ used in both of these phones is very similar indeed. Both have been bumped up from 8-megapixel khổng lồ 12-megapixel, which means that images are even more detail-packed. Táo bị cắn has also reduced colour leak between pixels, resulting in cleaner images.
Video recording also gets a detail bump up to lớn 4K, which brings Apple’s flagship range up khổng lồ the màn chơi of their app android rivals.
The one point of difference here is OIS, which stands for optical image stabilisation. The iPhone 6S Plus has it, while the iPhone 6S doesn’t.

In terms of general, well-lit photos, the difference made by this component is negligible. When it comes to low-light shots and video clip recording, however, you’ll notice that the iPhone 6S Plus is better.
OIS nullifies the effects of camera shake, which has benefits for video. It also allows for night-time and low-light exposure times to lớn be a little longer, thus resulting in brighter shots.

iPhone 6S Plus vs iPhone 6S: Battery
iPhone 6S Plus: 2750 mAh non-removable batteryiPhone 6S: 1715 mAh non-removable battery
Interestingly, both phones’ batteries are smaller than their predecessors. This is because of the new Taptic Engine that táo bị cắn squeezed in lớn help communicate the new cảm biến 3 chiều interface elements.
However, the more efficient A9 CPU và Apple’s game ios 9 optimisations mean that battery life hasn’t suffered khổng lồ any meaningful degree.
The iPhone 6S will still comfortably last you through a full day of moderate usage, while the iPhone 6S Plus can stretch to lớn two days. The bigger phone is by far the better bet if you frequently find recharging opportunities hard khổng lồ come by.
Both phones have a handy new Low nguồn mode to lớn help eke out battery life in extreme situations, too.
iPhone 6S Plus vs iPhone 6S: Storage
iPhone 6S Plus: 16GB / 64GB / 128GB internal storage, non-expandableiPhone 6S: 16GB / 64GB / 128GB internal storage, non-expandable
The storage options on these two iPhones are identical, and the 64GB & 128GB options are both plenty generous enough, we feel.
More concerning is the continued presence of a 16GB entry model for both. This simply isn’t enough for a modern non-expandable high-end smartphone, especially considering that both phones now take considerably larger photos & videos than before.
Why does táo bị cắn dở persist with the blatantly insufficient 16GB model? It’s likely a somewhat cynical financial calculation, encouraging customers lớn upgrade khổng lồ the more expensive mid-tier.
Regardless of the reason, táo bị cắn really needs lớn switch to lớn a 32GB minimum for the iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus.
Verdict
Apple has turned out two more high class smartphones in the iPhone 6S Plus & iPhone 6S.
Both phones are significant upgrades on last year’s models, despite their similar looks. However, our recommendations on which of the two your should choose are the same as before.
The iPhone 6S Plus is materially the better phone of the two, with a superior camera, a much bigger & sharper screen, & significantly better battery life. If performance is everything khổng lồ you, there’s only one winner.
Of course, the iPhone 6S has one notable advantage: its practicality. It’s much more pleasant to wield & lug around, and you can still use it with one hand – something that’s just not possible with the iPhone 6S Plus.

The iPhone 6S is arguably far truer lớn the iPhone’s compact lineage than the iPhone 6S Plus, which (in addition to its cheaper price) will likely continue to make it the more popular choice.
