Give the exact same phone as the 6S plus with a longer battery and a faster CPU and I'll buy it before it ships. But no headphone jack and no touch ID is a deal breaker. I'm simply no wasting money on a phone which removes features. iPhone 6S Plus was the best phone Apple ever made. I'll keep repairing the one I have until Apple makes a legitimate replacement.
Face ID - nice feature, but doesn't actually add convenience. Wireless charging - useless feature since I can't charge while watching the phone. The charger needs a cable anyway. Edge to edge screen - means I can't use a protective cover to avoid breaking the glass and still be able to reach all parts of the screen. Also, holding the phone from the sides becomes difficult as it interferes with the text. Swiping gestures to replace the home - means you have to swipe either side of the phone. If I use the phone right handed, I can manage this, but left handed, I end up dropping it all the time.
I upgraded from the iPhone X 256GB to the iPhone 6S plus and it was the biggest upgrade I ever made on a phone.
Let's also add that restoring an iPhone from the cloud should give you the option as to whether you have to download all the damn films which were on the old phone to complete the process. When I replaced my phone at the Apple Store in Tokyo, I had to sit in the store and share wifi with the other users for 5 hours one day because I couldn't get my settings onto my replacement phone without downloading all the films. I tried stopping it twice, but it completely freaked on me. You shouldn't have to download 1
I totally agree with you. I have my 3 year old 128GB iPhone 6S Plus and it's going strong. I see no need to upgrade really. I figured I'd switch when they switched to USB-C and brought back the finger print reader (in display finger print reader preferably). I'll miss the headphone jack though, as I still use it to plug into my wife's car, but I figure it's going the way of the floppy disk. Anyway, with this news, it seems that I'll be waiting longer before I upgrade (cue more poor iPhone sales until Apple

I'd argue that the iPhone SE was the best phone Apple ever made, and that the 6S is a little too big, but either way, we're basically talking about th
