Design

This ‘S’ series iPhone 6 comes in rose gold colored version along with traditional silver, space gray and gold versions. There is no much difference to differentiate physically.
Build quality
The unibody slim design of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus was made up of 6000 series aluminum and this had been more controversial when the phones started to bend. Apple have poured a little upgrade on to the build material with iPhone 6S i.e., it was made up of 7000 series Aluminum-Zinc wrought alloy material which is harder to bend.
More durable glass
Both the iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus have HD displays made from strongest glass than before. Apple have brought some kind of rocket making space technology to this version of ‘S’ series iPhone. No wonder, because it comes from Apple.

Apple introduced 4K video recording with the iPhone 6S like never before in Apple’s iPhone history. The slow-motion video capturing is also improved in respect to the two HD recording variants 1080p and 720p.
