I was not a hardcore fan of iPhone. But my last android experience was not so good. I had a descent mid range android (15k-20K) device with latest OS, but I never got that lightning fast response. Sometimes my phone got crashed while receiving extremely important calls.
So I was looking for better options. I came across Nexus 6P, extremely gorgeous phone and iPhone6s Plus. It was a tough decision both phones are gorgeous and premium but the price difference was quite less (8-10k). So I gave it a try, and now I am in love with this beauty.
I am writing some of the best things I like about my iPhone 6s Plus :
- The "Plus" matters : I was very clear about getting a plus model (or the latest one). Apart from other technical advantages over 6s, one of the most practical advantages is the battery life. I use my phone on 4G all the time and I have to charge my phone once in 24 hours (sometimes twice if I have nothing else to do than playing high graphics games on my phone :P). It may sound unbelievable but the standby time is extraordinary e.g. if I charge my phone to 100% and go to sleep, I wake up with 99-98%.
- is 16GB enough? : This question was bugging me most before buying this model. I did a lot of research about 16 GB model and found out no one will ever suggest you to buy 16gb model. But guess what I bought a 16GB model and I am more than happy with it. I have music of around 1GB of space, 1-2 high graphics games, all the necessary apps (social media, shopping, travel etc) and obviously lots of pics (but no pirated movie videos) and after all that I have left with a descent more than 5GB of free space. It all depends on how you use your phone. So analyze your needs, if you are planning for 16GB model. It's been more than a month and I have no issues with the space whatsoever. If you are a busy person (like me :P) and spends more time coding on your laptop in office than using your phone all the time and you have smart practices like taking backup and using iCloud then 16GB would be sufficient. And the price difference is huge between 16 and 64GB. So it all depends on your needs and personal preference.
- Lighting fast and Reliable : The two primary things I was looking in my next phone were - Performance and Reliability. I mean even if you are spending a good 15k-20k, you deserve performance but I was very disappointed with my previous android devices in this matter (specially phones of mid range). But my iPhone 6s Plus works just fine. Its lighting fast. And when I am saying lighting fast it really is. Mind blowing performance. No lag, hang or any kind of problem what so ever.
- Beauty : I have the black-grey variant which looks fabulous.
- Accessories : I got a charging cum data cable, a wall charger and ear phones with this model. The earphones are descent but I already have sennheiser (quality difference is obvious) so I barely use iphone's earphones.
Though I like my phone without any flashy back cover or any other accessories I do prefer to use a screen protector but I am having a bad time finding it. Its very difficult to find a quality screen guard, I tried apple stores, even they sell cheap screen guards which you can also find online. 6S Plus has 3D touch so careful with the choice of screen protector, most of the usual tempered glasses will break or won't work properly.
Overall, I am in love with my phone. I was looking for performance and peace of mind and after using my iPhone 6s plus for around a month I can say that my choice couldn't be better than this.
So if you like hi performance gadgets, appreciate quality and if you have a descent budget then go for this phone.
