The trackpad keyboard is huge. It greatly ameliorates how horrible touch keyboards are, and makes editing text not too much of a chore. I'm afraid no one will use it and the feature will get axed.

"In the early betas of iOS 9, Apple had activated this feature for older iPhones. Users would just place both their thumbs on the keyboard and it will act as a trackpad. However, Apple removed this feature for unknown reasons. Right now, no other iPhone other than the 6s and 6s Plus can perform this feature which is really annoying."

I git exited about the trackpad keyboard when I heard about it, but the cursor always jumps a character or two when the lift my finger.

After force touching to enable trackpad mode, ease back and press only lightly as you move around. Then the cursor won't jump when you release.

They have the perfect solution available already, they could make it stop on a hard press.

However the internals are largely the same as the iPhone SE

I like the two finger version of the ipad much more. Wish they would do the same on the iphone.
Having said that, 3D touch is far from the only improvement on the 6S. If it didn't have 3D touch I'd still recommend the extra $100 to get MUCH better internals (processor, cameras, touch ID sensor) and a stronger body too.
