Hello Carol, Glad you are having some success adding things to your calendar. I went from an iPhone 5 to an iPhone 6, and it was also a little different for me when typing in MBraille. I do not think it was sensitivity for me, instead, I think it was the bigger screen. On the bigger screen, the dots are not quite as close together, so that was something I had to get use too. Going from a 4s to a 6s, you definitely have more screen to work with. So hopefully with time and practice, you will get better and more comfortable just like you were with the 4s.
I am always willing to help in any way I can, so feel free to let me know if you ever have more questions.
