i have a 6S and only had 1 battery change, and that was on apple, since mine was recalled for a defective battery problem. as noted in my other comment, i'd be ok with a full screen version of this phone if they put the home button on the side and keep the fingerprint scanner (in button or in screen) and leave off the front facing camera (pinhole camera is acceptable too, but not a notch). i'd prefer to keep the headphone jack, but that's probably asking too much of apple.

> i'd prefer to keep the headphone jack, but that's probably asking too much of apple. Yeah the headphone jack being removed pissed me off too. However the lighting to 3.5mm adaptor isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Sure it was an extra £9 I wish I didn't have to spend, but was also a figure that I didn't lose any sleep over when ordering it. The adaptor just lives on my headphones as I use a differnt pair at my desk. The only reservation about it now is "Will it fray like all other apple cables do with time?" EDIT: Also had a 6s. Had 2 battery changes and the phone was due for a 3rd before recently just swapping the phone. First was done by Apple for free (excluding the cost of travelling to the Apple store and turning it into a shopping day :-P), the other I did myself at home with a 3rd party battery.

  Holding onto my 6s as long as I can, because of the headphone jack. My headphones are kind of expensive. I also plug them into my laptop. If I'm putting an adapter on and off all the time I'll keep losing adapters, but I'd rather not buy a second pair of nice headphones.

    A silicone tether like the ones you can get for the cap on the Apple Pencil. Yeah another item you shouldn’t need. But it would keep the adapter tethered to the cable so you won’t lose it as you swap between phone and laptop.

  yah, headphone jack isn't a deal killer, but i do like having it. an adapter is ok but not great.

You’d rather have big iPhone 6s bezels than a notch? I agree that a hole punch is preferable to a notch. I really wish they’d put a fingerprint scanner in the Apple logo on the back of the phone.

  i don't want the bezels, but it's what i have, and the notch is just as unappealing to me, along with faceID and no home button. i'm hoping to skip the notch when i upgrade. the back would be ok, but one of the reasons i like the side button with fingerprint sensor (or in-screen) is that it can be face up on a surface and you can still actuate the sensor. it's not that big a difference, but it is slightly better UX. i also like the fingerprint version over faceID because it's not 2 steps to open the phone most of the time, but still gives you the option to see the preview screen when desired (pressing the home button with the fingernail/fingertip).
