iPhone 6s and 6s Plus are rumored to be 0.2mm thicker, basically indistinguishable from the 6/6 Plus.

Why the increase in thickness?

Duh... Magical Apple Creatures need somewhere to live. That extra space gives them a giant new home :)

Or to recess the camera :)

Possibly the use of 7000 series aluminum to make it more resistant to bending and/or the introduction of touch force.

Wow, I forgot all about the protruding camera lens with my Apple Black Leather case on, which also adds much needed "GRIP". That would NOT be enough reason to keep ME from upgrading my 6 Plus to the 6s Plus.....just my .02 cents

The same force touch apple uses in my macbook. Im not so much of an apple fan yeah? My friend bought the apple watch and didnt enjoy it, she had difficulty selling it afterwards for almost half of its price. ... U mean i used the same names? I didnt hide any names , the problem was with the regulators it was obviously sent twice. Why do i need to even explain.

Why would i still i worry about buying a case? (in fact , i do. ) well it is a TROUBLE for me hiding my phone. Yeah, it's too fragile. I saw the edge drop test vs the iphone 6. the latter succumbed, considering the 'Edge' people underestimated to be as fragile as petals. Yeah i hated the idea of me having to pay this ridiculously expensive piece of machine when it doesnt live up to expectation.. Im whining lol

Who cares about looks when a software upgrade hobbles the device.
I LOVE my Note 4 but Lollipop trashed it.
Never experienced that with any iPhone.

As far as looks, that's subjective. I prefer the iPhone. Which by the way, heavily influenced the S6.

Five posts to your name and you spend the trashing the iPhone on an iPhone forum.

Gotcha.

Agenda is clear.

I'm trying to decide whether the slightly thicker build would mean the current cases won't fit. I'm so tempted to get some Kate Spade cases for my new future iPhone 6s PLUS.

I'm wondering the same thing. As tight as the Apple Leather case fits, the extra 2mm will probably make a difference.
