This means the 5.5-inch iPhone 6S Plus is one of the heaviest smartphones on the market, even though the predecessor was not really a featherweight, either. One thing you do notice in a direct comparison is the higher weight, because the iPhone 6S Plus is now 20 grams heavier than before. The height is only increased by 0.2 millimeters for a total of 7.3 millimeters (8.1 millimeters including the camera). The new iPhones are thicker, wider and longer, but the changes are very small so you will hardly notice them. In addition to the familiar colors Space Grey, Silver and Gold, you now get the version Rose Gold. It is the first time that an iPhone is available in four different colors. The new iPhone generation also comes with a major iOS update, which offers many new features and handling possibilities in combination with the 3D Touch technology. The manufacturer also claims to have improved the cameras, the wireless communication modules and – perhaps the highlight of the new S model – the handling concept. The iPhone 6S Plus, however, is a bit different, because the Americans increased both the dimensions as well as the weight a bit, and Apple now uses more robust materials. It is almost a tradition that Apple improves the components of the S models, while the chassis remains unchanged. The price is, fortunately, not the only thing that changed. Apple charges 1,070 Euros (~$1206), which is actually one difference compared with the old model: The iPhone 6S Plus is between 50 and 70 Euros (~$56 and ~$78) more expensive than its predecessor. Our review unit with 64 GB costs 960 Euros (~$1082), while the top model with 128 GB easily surpasses the 1,000-Euro mark (~$1127). It is certainly one of the most expensive: The iPhone 6S Plus retails for at least 850 Euros (~$958), and this is for the 16 GB version. Our recent preview of the new iPhones already showed that Apple once again increased the performance and is on the best way to offer one of the best smartphones in general.
