The iPhone 6S is the last of the great iPhones

Ummm what? CPUs are faster, ram is bigger, storage is bigger now than it was before. Because time passed. And this is as it should be. This is the way technology works.

I have an iphone 6s, and it's ok, I guess. The battery life is terrible (which the author completely neglects). Physical home button is, again, ok. Someone I know has an iphone 7, and the home button isn't...groundbreakingly different. If anything it's nicer since I don't have to take the time to fully press down on it. I used to have an iphone 5s, and it was way tough, like a tank. I dropped it all the time and it was fine.. My 6s is way more fragile.

I think "great" implies that it is clearly better than anything you'd compare it to. Messi is great at soccer. The McLaren F1 was a great car.

The iPhone 6s was merely a flagship phone that was directly comparable to other flagship phones- you didn't see people abandoning their flagship Androids for a 6s.

Compare the legacy of the 6s to the iPhone 3G, which has a much better claim to being great. There was no real competition for it. Even if you weren't an Apple fan, BlackBerry was clearly outclassed and dying, PalmPilots were already dead, and Android was just getting started.

Where are the plus-sized variations? I have both 6S and 6S Plus and they hit the same spots too! And I loved the bigger screen of 6S Plus so I can consume more content. I've kept using it since then
