The iPhone 6s Plus for T-Mobile ($749; 16GB) beats last year's model in a big way. Thanks to a better radio, the 6s Plus is able to get T-Mobile LTE signal in places where earlier iPhones drop to 3G or even EDGE. The larger 6s Plus is also the iPhone to get for the best video recording quality, as well as a great-looking canvas to write and draw on. Its overall excellent performance makes it an Editors' Choice for larger smartphones on T-Mobile. I wrote a comprehensive review of the AT&T iPhone 6s Plus. Head over there for a broader overview of the phone's new features, including 3D Touch, the faster processor, and the improved cameras. T-Mobile's Model and ServiceAT&T's iPhone 6s Plus, model A1634, includes an LTE frequency band (Band 30) that only AT&T uses. T-Mobile's model (which is the same model you'll also get on Sprint and Verizon), A1688, does not. The phones are otherwise identical, and both models work equally well on T-Mobile's network. Speaking of networks: Apple u...

The iPhone 6s Plus brings better LTE coverage for T-Mobile, making it absolutely worth the upgrade.

Much better LTE reception than iPhone 6 Plus; Excellent optical video stabilization; Big screen is ideal for gaming and video playback

Expensive; Average battery life

At first glance, the new batch of iPhones appear to adhere to what we've come to expect from an evolutionary update but as the saying goes, looks can be deceiving.

Familiar quality design with stronger aluminum build; Outstanding performance from A9 SoC; Excellent camera; 3D Touch seems genuinely useful; Improved water resistance

Apple is sticking to 16GB for the base model; forcing you to pay more on an already expensive device to get decent storage (no microSD slot either)

"The only thing that's changed is everything," says the slogan Apple unveiled alongside the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus . It's an attempt to address the perception that the odd-year ‘s' updates to the iPhone line are minimal and uninteresting.

iPhone 6s Plus is stronger, faster, sharper, and takes interface to a whole new depth. The iPhone 6s Plus is stronger, faster, sharper, and deeper than ever. That includes tougher casing and glass, the most advanced chipset in mobile, a 12 megapixel camera that shoots 4K video, and 3D Touch, which...

Big 5.5-inch screen; Optically stabilized 4K video; Pressure sensitivity; Ludicrous speeds

Smaller phones; Huge cameras or physical keyboards; Wireless charging; Budget phones

“The only thing that’s changed is everything,” says the slogan Apple unveiled alongside the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus . It’s an attempt to address the perception that the odd-year ‘s’ updates to the iPhone line are minimal and uninteresting.

This phone has appeared in our Which phones have the best cameras? list.

Powerful CPU and GPU combo; 3D Touch streamlines navigation; TouchID finger scanner leads the market; Higher resolution cameras; Excellent battery life;

Needlessly large form factor; Primary camera could still be higher in resolution; Expensive;

Everything that feels obvious now, once didn't. This goes double for smartphones: All the pinch-to-zoom, touch-friendly interactions we now take for granted and marvel at a two-year-old's ability to figure it out, didn't always seem so natural.

Everything great about the iPhone is even greater here, because big screens rule; 4K video looks incredible; 3D Touch is going to be transformative; #rosegold, y'all

16GB is not enough storage; Battery life is fine, but only that; Touch ID kind of ruins the lockscreen

Just like its more compact cousin, the iPhone 6s Plus brings superior imaging, 3D Touch, a beast of a chipset and double the RAM and those surely make it a worthy upgrade. Plus, the screen size and resolution help Apple compete in a segment clearly dominated by Android.

Image 1 of 9 Nearly a year after release, and the iPhone 6s Plus still doesn’t come cheap. The iPhone 7 is just around the corner, so realistically you should probably hold off to see if the new handset offers a significant upgrade – or what kind of impact it has on the iPhone 6s Plus’ pricetag.

The Apple iPhone "s" models keep the same form factor as the previous model while bumping up the internals. While the iPhone 6s Plus looks and feels like a 6 Plus, there are significant hardware changes making this the most compelling "s" model yet.

Lightning fast Touch ID, Functional and innovative 3D Touch, Solid camera experience, Excellent battery life, Fast and reliable performance
