iPhone 6 had a killer feature some had been waiting 5+ years for, its size. The 6s has... 3D Touch and bit better camera.

Add mild economic slowdown and strong dollar, result: flat growth.

Meanwhile those of us with normal-sized hands and pockets long for the days when you could safely grip and operate your phone with one hand.

I've never been an iPhone guy because I largely prefer Android-style notifications and deep Google integration and that is a major selling point to me. Right now the Nexus 5x is looking pretty nice.

To each his own. I prefer to type with both hands in landscape on a screen I can see. When listening to podcasts I use the headphone remote. Hopefully the rumored small iphone will become reality.

A friend of mine that works at Google -- and received a free Nexus 5x for Christmas -- told me the n5x is a pretty lousy phone.

I Googled around, and sure enough, it looks like a lemon.

6p is the perfect phone.

I have some big hands and even then I feel uncomfortable using my 6, I was so used to the 5S size and now the 6 keeps sliding through my hand, I can't completely use it single-handed, etc.

And I can reach all of the corners with the thumb while holding it, it just doesn't feel comfortable.

And twice the RAM (1 GB iPhone 6 vs. 2 GB iPhone 6s) and a faster CPU and other goodies.

Normal folks don't notice those things, even the camera improvements are lost on them.

I bought a 6s and love it (since I upgraded from a 5) but if I already had a 6 I wouldn't have upgraded.

I've got a 6 and didn't bother with the 6s yet but the shortcuts provided by 3D Touch apps would save me a good few minutes every day.
