iPhone 6

Phone 6S is now cheaper than ever, as evidenced by our iPhone 6S deals page, but is it enough to regress from the headphone jack-less iPhone 7? It remains a good buy and runs iOS 10 to boot. Here's our review telling you why.

Apple's iPhone 6S pitch has been 'the only thing that's changed is everything', highlighting that it knows this is phone looks an awful lot like 2014's model

It makes sense that Apple would try its hardest to show that, despite the handset looking identical to the iPhone 6, there have been loads of changes under the hood that make this an attractive phone in its own right.The chassis is stronger, the camera sharper – with a new Harry Potter-esque way of capturing your snaps – and there's even a completely new way of interacting with the screen. On paper, it's an impressive upgrade.

But when it looks identical to the iPhone 6, people will be desperate to know if the iPhone 6S is enough of an upgrade to justify the price. While the upgrades seem great, is it worth going all the way up to the iPhone 6S, or would the 6 do?

In terms of raw price, we're in a weird situation now. Samsung and the rest of the Android crew have been slowly ratcheting up the price of their high-end phones to the point where they're actually eclipsing the iPhone 6S at launch.

Since the arrival of the iPhone 7, the iPhone 6S has witnessed a price cut with the 32GB model now setting you back $549 (£499, AU$929) while the larger 128GB variant is down to $649 (£599, AU$1,079).

The 16GB iPhone 6S has now been killed off, falling in line with Apple's new iPhones which arrive in 32GB, 128GB and 256GB variants.
