![]() ![]() The iPhone 6S Plus is Apple’s second phablet, and like last year’s model it’s properly big. Read on for the original iPhone 6S Plus review It’s also worth remembering that the iPhone 7 is only a few months away. Go for the 64GB model, though – 16GB just isn’t enough. If you can handle its size and price then the 6S Plus is the iPhone I recommend. ![]() It does everything you want it to with a minimum of fuss – important if you live a busy lifestyle and don’t particularly care about tinkering with your smartphone. I’ve used a number of phones at the same time as conducting this long-term test and I still find myself reaching for the 6S Plus, mainly because of its ease of use and app library. I’m still very happy with the iPhone 6S Plus. Related: iPhone XR iPhone 6S Plus long-term verdict It’s the exact opposite of Live Photos, which I now don’t want to live without. By pressing the screen harder you can get more menu items to appear which is useful, but for some reason I’ve ended up using it less and less as time’s gone on. Lastly, 3D Touch, a feature I used a lot at first, has fallen by the wayside. ![]() Thankfully these annoying issues are rare. The main culprit is Spotlight search which often decides it doesn’t want to find an app I’m looking for, but the iPhone 6S Plus occasionally freezes when someone is calling me. There are also a few software issues that bug me. It’s sleek and easy to handle, but it doesn’t make a bold statement like the HTC 10, and neither does it manage to cram a big screen into a small body like many of its Android competitors. There’s very little I don’t like about the iPhone 6S Plus, but that doesn’t mean it’s perfect. Related: How to improve iPhone battery life The 4.7-inch iPhone 6S is the weakest in this regard. Regardless, this is still the iPhone to get if you value stamina, although surprisingly the diminutive iPhone SE also does a solid job. This may have to do with the battery losing some of its prowess after a few hundred recharges, but it’s more likely the fact that I use more apps with background services and that I game more ( Top tip: Clash Royale is highly addictive). It’s definitely dropped from when it was brand new, when I’d regularly get home after a day at the TrustedReviews offices with more than 50% left. The iPhone 6S Plus’s battery life is also solid. I also regularly find myself watching my favourite shows on the go. I can happily read websites and emails even in the brightest sunlight.

Movement also brings your gallery to life. Initially I thought adding a little movement to images was a bit of a gimmick, but iOS updates have improved them and now you can upload to most social media apps. This is a great phone for gaming – not least because the 5.5-inch screen provides plenty of pixel-packed real estate. The iPhone 6S Plus is also as snappy now as it was the first day I took it out of the box, even though I’ve loaded it with more apps than I’ll ever have time to use. Other phones are better in low light – in particular the Samsung Galaxy S7 which is a truly superb phone too. I like my photos to have a colour tone that matches what I can see, but the camera app comes with plenty of filters if you like to pimp your pics. It’s perfect for taking quick snaps and provides excellent photos with a realistic palette. Related: iOS 11 review: Apple’s best update in years?
