iPhone Sales Drop, and Apple’s 13-Year Surge Ebbs

Anecdotal evidence also suggests that people like the 6 more than the 6S. It's nicer to hold in hands and it's quite a bit cheaper for basically the same phone.

Er, really? The 6S is almost identical to the 6; the primary difference is that it's 0.1mm (!) thicker and 14 grams heavier.

Is it possible you mean to compare the iPhones 6S and 6S Plus, which actually differ in size?

Nicer to hold in hands? It's the exact same frame. Are you confusing the 6 and the 6 Plus?

No. 6 and 6S. Hold them both in hands and the 6 is noticeable nicer.

Unless you are holding heavily used 6s with scratches against brand new 6 but if they are two new units there is no difference between them and your perception of niceness is probably totally subjective without reflection in reality.

Are American 6s different? There is definitely a significant difference between a 6 and a 6s here (Europe). It cannot be missed.
