You absolutely are. The improvement in cell performance from the 6 to 6s /+ is
quite significant. The main improvement is the inclusion of many more
frequency bands so the phone can join on to more networks and use more
facilities on these networks. For example, T-Mobile network on the 6s+ is
accessible on band 1, 2, 4, 12 and several others. The key here is band 12.
This is a lower frequency band that penetrates buildings better and traverses
longer distances. There’s less bandwidth unless you bond channels (Which T-Mo
does) but it’s more robust than the higher frequency all be it faster signals.
AT&T is similar. They have added new spectrum and turned up more of this
spectrum so the latest phone takes advantage of this and is likely joining new
towers you didn’t have access to or using a range that is more suited to your
geographic and signal propagation conditions.
On top of this the sensitivity is greater, LTE features more plentiful
and in general Qualcomm did a great job on the radio in the 6S.
