So what surprised you most as asked in the thread question?....
Guess posted in the wrong thread. :tongue:
If according to thread title, when I made the transition from 5S to a 6 Plus, the batt life surprised me the most.

Same here, already too used to it. Now when I hold a 5S, feels like an iPhone 'mini'.
Coming from an HTC One M9 and before that, a Lumia Icon, it's the weight. It's heavier than I expected.

The size, but it wasn't that much of a shocker as I had the iPhone 6 and Note 5 previously. I was mostly surprised and amazed by the battery life.
Yes. The battery life is pretty good. A lot better than my HTC One M9. I don't have any problems with working with pictures or computer. I have an HP desktop and an SP3 and it works pretty good with both. Apple's Windows apps could be a little better though; but that's a software issue and not an issue with the phone itself.
Microsoft's iOS apps are really nice. Better than the equivalent Apple offerings. OneDrive, Outlook, OneNote, etc., all work great.

I came from a Note 4 so the size didn't shock me. What has shocked me is the weight. It does feel like a brick in my hands compared to my family's S6 or Note 5. It isn't a small difference either it is a huge difference on how it feels. I am happily surprised at the battery life for sure. It lasts a lot longer than my Note 4 did but does take longer to charge. (I miss the 2.0 charging capabilities)
When you say it feels like a brick compared to the S6 or Note 5, do you mean that it's heavier or that it has more of a solid feel to it? Overall, are you glad you made the switch?
Sorry, I should have elaborated on the "brick". Heavier! The iPhone feels great in my hand but the weight is definitely noticeable.
Am I glad I made the switch? yes. I am writing a post, its in draft right now, on my experience with iOS coming from many years of Android. Stay tuned for that! LOL

There were online reviews claimed the Note 5's battery life lasts longer than the 6s Plus, so I'm skeptical.

My son had his Note 5 here and I compared the weight. The 6s Plus weighs .74 oz. more, but I couldn't really tell a lot of difference. Not enough to call the 6s Plus a brick. It's only ? of an ounce difference.

Coming from a Note 4 I would have to say the battery life was a very pleasant surprise. I can go two days on one charge compared to my Notes 3/4 of a day. Also this being my first ever experience with iOS I am very surprised and happy with how easy it was to adapt. I only miss the ability to customize things with my favorite launcher Nova Prime and adding my own ringtones without hooking up to the computer.
The most of would get on my note 5 was 4 hours of screen on time. This phone lasts me the whole day.

What surprises me the most is I came from a 5S to a 6S+ and immediately adjusted to the size of it. I'm petite (4-11) and I was mentally ready for a larger screen, as well as my eyes lol, but I did have concerns about the physics of it all. I can say...I wouldn't dream of going back to a 5S or a smaller sized screen like that unless I absolutely had to. I'm loving this beast of a phone and the rose gold is just stunning
