AnandTech has posted some benchmarks that show how fast the storage of the iPhone 6s is compared to the iPhone 6 and other popular smartphones. For the iPhone 6s, Apple has basically taken its MacBook SSD controller and adapted for use in a smartphone.

The site found that the iPhone 6s uses a hybrid SLC/TLC NAND solution which is suited to bursty workloads. They were able to determine that the 64GB unit uses Hynix NAND but it's unclear as of yet who supplies the NAND for the 128GB variant and if other suppliers exist for the 64GB SKUs.

For those that are unfamiliar how these hybrid SLC/TLC NAND solutions work, in essence the SLC cache is made sufficiently large to avoid showing the reduced performance of TLC NAND. Any time you’re writing to the storage, the writes go to the SLC cache first before being committed to TLC NAND. As long as the overall average bandwidth demand doesn’t exceed the speed of the TLC, short-run bandwidth is solely limited by the speed of the SLC cache, which turns out to be the case for almost every normal use case.

Hopefully you have left the protective film on the phone and then quickly bring it back to Apple for replacement. It would be best to bring it back the day you've received it. Do not wait too long to return it.

Took it to apple and they told me they could do nothing about it at the moment and told me to take it to AT&T since that is where I got it from

note 5?

Then why does the 6S Plus take longer to boot? (As per the iclarified tests)

Well they said they were unable to determine the storage on the 128gb version.

Where are the ratings for the iPhone 6S (4.7)?
