iPhone 6s

Not sure really, just wanted to try new things. I'm also too old and tired to constantly fiddle with my phone, so I just want something that works;)

Indeed, once the fiddling fun is over, the basics/just working is what counts.
 
A smarter Siri might also help. This morning I asked her if somthing important is happening tomorrow and she refered me to some county game at Lords

Clearly Siri thinks cricket is more important than the next iPhone.

+1

I went to my grandmother the other day and she wanted something basic - she wanted to Whatsapp, phone and snap a few photos. She obviously didn't need high resolution screens or the best camera for her snaps, so I recommended the iPhone for sure.

She's super happy actually, so there is definitely a need. Not everyone needs cutting edge technology

Open ≠ cutting edge.

There's no shame in having an average phone? Phones are tailored for different markets and the iPhone is a pretty good average phone. There are plenty of phones out there that aren't as good!

Cutting edge walled garden FTW.

I don't think it ever made it to the present, at any time. It was a pretty ridiculous new 'bar' of measurement, because 99.9% of the time they will never break under normal use/storage.

Eish...smaller battery

Apple promo video appears to confirm that iPhone 6s features 1,715 mAh battery

Sony takes dig at Apple, asks Siri about battery life of new iPhones

The number suggests shorter battery life, but I bet it'll be equal to or better than the 6. Apple simply wouldn't take a step backwards after its customers are used to a level of performance.

Battery numbers can be just like any other marketable numbers - megapixels, dynamic contrast ratios... It's a different ballgame when the a vendor has total control over the software and hardware.

My guess is that iOS 9 will lead to more power efficiency.
 
The battery really concerns me :( Will have to wait for benchmarks I guess...

I think if equal to the 6, it'll be worse off than Sony. They're known for battery life.

I know that and Sony know that hence their jab at Apple. They wouldn't jab if wrong.

Apple don't have bad batteries per se, they could just improve
