Faster fingerprint sensor, slightly better camera, and novelties such as a pressure sensitive screen cannot make up for the lack of extended battery life

The iPhone 6S Plus promises richer interactions with a pressure sensitive screen, a better camera with new “Live Photos” and longer battery life, despite it having a smaller capacity battery. Does it deliver?

In the tick, tock upgrade cycle, the iPhone 6S Plus is Apple’s phablet tock. It’s a speed bump on the design of last year’s iPhone 6 Plus with a few new features thrown in to try and entice buyers.

Pros: fast fingerprint scanner, good camera, good screen, Taptic Engine, extended standby time

Cons: battery life of only a day, expensive, heavier, big bezels around the screen make it more difficult to hold
