iPhone 6s isn't even meant to be upgrade option for the current iPhone 6 owners. Rather than that it is intended for iPhone 5 and 5s users for whom last year's version was not tempting enough to switch. And also, it is just realization of the rule: "If you don't move forward-you begin to move backward"

Apple announced drastic financial incentives for its new iPhone 6s line because the devices aren’t much of a step forward technologically. Most iPhone 6 users won’t sense a dramatic difference, and maybe none at all. It leaves Apple with not much to sell other than “new” but not noticeably “improved.”

"s" devices (4s, 5s, 6s) never are.

Then again, they never played in the "specs" wars much. People have 2 years contract, and when they end, they upgrade their phones. So for them (most in the US) 6s is compared to 5s (2 years back) not directly to 6.
