I will say this, the Touch ID sensor is awesome. All I have to do is barely touch the thing and it works flawlessly.

I've got a love hate feeling about that. I enjoy it when I want to use my phone. But I listen to a lot of music. Sometimes I want to wake the phone up and change the track without unlocking it.

I can appreciate where you are coming from. I upgraded from a 6 Plus to a 6s Plus and, just as many have already mentioned, it looks the same and performs incrementally better. That being said, the camera upgrade is substantial and I'm already starting to find the 3D Touch shortcuts quite useful. 3D Touch is like Touch ID when it was first launched: it takes a while to appreciate it--and remember that it's even there--but then you can't live without it.
The question on my mind is what more could we expect our phones to do? Mobile devices have become so advanced that blowing our minds with new features and performance enhancements isn't going to come a often as it used to. If you want your mind blown upgrade every 3-4 years. If you're okay with incremental improvements then once a year or every two years does the trick.
I came from a Gold iPhone 6 to a Rose Gold iPhone 6 Plus and I couldn't be happier.
It's like buying a new pair of shoes. If I buy Bass Black Wayfarer Penny Loafers every single Fall, I'd be pretty much done with Bass Wayfarer Penny Loafers. But....for this Fall I bought Bass Burgundy Wayfarer Penny Loafers. So....I like Bass Wayfarer Penny Loafers as my Fall shoes to walk from Union Station to my office. They do the job admirably well. I know the fit, I know the quality, I know what to expect. So...for the job at hand, I buy what works for me. I see women wearing 5 inch heels on the same walk and but I'm not interested in 5 inch heels to walk three blocks. I don't envy them. I actually know that in summer, I won't have to deal with bunions. I also know I wont' have to deal with ingrown toe nails. So....my choice is perfect for me.
I'm not underwhelmed by my phone or my shoes because I pick a different colour. I'm not underwhelmed because I'm happy that what I buy works for me. I'm not underwhelmed because I don't care what others choose. I've got other phones/shoes at home. But for me, both my Bass Penny Loafers and my iPhone 6s Plus are EXACTLY what I want.
Which is why I buy them.
You lost me at shoes

Lil, your shoe analogy is lost on all of us guys. Most of us have wives with closets full of shoes, and we can't tell one pair from another.

I understand the analogy. And I think it's her creative way of explaining the same thing that everyone else says. You should make purchases based on what works for you. This is an individualized thing, not everyone has the same usage or expectation of a product. To be honest, I'm not sure why consumers think that Apple products are going to change much year over year anyway. The iPhone and iPad specifically seem like universal smartphones and tablets to me. They span so many different types of users and are used in a myriad of environments. To make dramatic improvements could be problematic. One of the things that I value about iOS and iOS devices is that I know what to expect for the most part. Sure, when there are new features, it's fun to try them. But for the most part, I want my devices to be predictable. I rely on them too much.

Yea... its all part of the marketing scheme, they can't change a phone too drastically in a single year. Wait every 2-3years, then its always a wow factor. On the other hand, maybe the constant dopamine stimulation from external stimuli needs to chill a bit. I heard nature has a huge wow factor.
