It will be a long time before I buy an iPhone 'anything'.
I spend most of my time at home, and we live in a 'shielded box' (stucco
with wire mesh) where I cannot get a connection - although some spots do
provide 1 bar. Yes, we are in a rural area.
As a result I do not own a Smartphone. I do have a cellphone, but it is
of the 'archaic' flip-phone type. The XYL just an hour ago was in
another building and wanted to talk with me, so she dialed my cellphone
- I was in the basement at my workbench, and my phone did not even
ring. My phone is useful when I am away from home, but it does not
provide the capability of the Smartphones. But do I really need that?
I have computer communications at home where I spend most of my time,
and all the 'whizbangs' of Smartphones are useless to me unless I travel
away from home.
I know that is not true for everyone, but that is the best I can do
unless we get a cell tower with a sufficiently strong signal to
penetrate my shielded house.
Just my personal situation - and is not valid for everyone.
73,

OTOH -- Whatever you think of Apple's approach, it sure works for
them! I wonder how long it will be before you buy your iPhone 6s Plus?
