iPhone 6S debrief: one year on, how did it do?

As the iPhone 6S turns one, Alex Hern looks back on what's niggled, what's grown on him, and what is and isn't getting fixed with the iPhone 7

When the iPhone 6S hit the shops, we called it "a very good phone, ruined by rubbish battery life". A year on, with the iPhone 7 on the shelves and iOS 10 on devices, the 6S is now the budget option in Apple's line-up. But how has the phone aged? Is it still very good? Does the battery life still suck? Will the 6S be remembered as a high point in the iPhone's history, or an era to be slightly buried?

I've been using an iPhone 6S - in rose gold, naturally, and I'm not even sure if I'm doing this out of irony anymore - for the past year. Some of what I hated, I've come to love, and some of what I loved, I've come to hate. And some bad stuff is just still bad.
