iPhone 6S Vs iPhone 6S Plus:

The wait is over. After months of hype, Apple has formally announced the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus and - as usual - the new handsets are polarising opinion. Fans are excited by some potentially game changing changes, while critics bemoan the stylistic similarities to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
What does this mean for you? Let’s break down the differences and find out...
Design - Familiar But Intelligently Improved
Yes, the new iPhone's look much like the old iPhone's. This is the number one area where many will complain, but look more closely and there are key differences.
Size and Weight Increases
In a first for Apple, the new iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus are actually ever so slightly larger and noticeably heavier than their predecessors. The good news, while you are likely to notice the difference holding new and old models side-by-side, in isolation this will be pretty similar:                                                                         Strength Improvements
More positively, the other key takeaway is that structurally both the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus are significantly stronger. Apple openly mocked the so-called ‘Bend gate’ scandal last year when the iPhone 6 and, notably, iPhone 6 Plus were found to warp under relatively meager pressures.
But privately changes have been made and internal thickening is thought to (at least partially) account for some of the weight increases. Consequently the new iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus have switched from Series 6000 to Series 7000 aluminium. Series 7000 is over twice as strong and a video pressure test has already shown you’ll be highly unlikely to bend either model under any force you’d encounter in everyday life.
In addition Apple has improved the durability of the new iPhone's’ glass displays, but it hasn’t given any details regarding how much stronger we can expect them to be.

Winner: iPhone 6S
It gets less of a weight bump while the iPhone 6S Plus is now a genuinely heavy phone, a problem when both remain so slippery
Displays - Ingenious Or Falling Behind?
Another area where the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus are receiving criticism is their screens as, despite late rumours to the contrary, the resolutions remain unchanged:
  • iPhone 6S: 4.7-inch, 1334 x 750 pixels, 326 pixels per inch (ppi)
  • iPhone 6S Plus: 5/5-inch, 1920 x 1080 pixels, 401 pixels per inch (ppi)
Should this matter? For me no. By comparison the iPhone 6S still has a pixel density similar to a 4K ‘Ultra HD’ resolution on a 13-inch laptop while the iPhone 6S Plus has a pixel density higher than a 4K display on an 11-inch laptop. Smartphones just live in a crazy specifications war where Apple refuses to fight.
Yes, I would be very surprised if the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus panels can top what Samsung delivered with the 2K Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, but few owners are likely to be disappointed when using either iPhone in real world scenarios.
Winner: iPhone 6S Plus
It continues to have a noticeably higher pixel density than the smaller iPhone 6S and with most rivals now sporting 2K displays, 6S owners in particular may feel a little shortchanged
