Comparison review
Apple iPhone 6s has a score of 83, which is slightly better than the Apple iPhone 5s's general score of 75.5. Both of these phones work with iOS OS (operating system), but Apple iPhone 6s has a more recent 9.x version and Apple iPhone 5s has iOS 8.x version, so it counts with a couple additional features. Although Apple iPhone 6s is incredibly heavier than the Apple iPhone 5s, it's just a bit thinner and newer.
The iPhone 6s counts with just a bit better processing power than iPhone 5s, and although they both have a 64-bits CPU and 2 processing cores, the iPhone 6s also has a better 650 MHz GPU and a greater amount of RAM memory. Apple iPhone 6s features a screen that's very similar to Apple iPhone 5s's display, and although the Apple iPhone 6s has a bigger display and a slightly better 1334 x 750 resolution, they both have the same display brightness and the same screen pixels density.
IPhone 6s has a superior camera than iPhone 5s, and although they both have a same size diafragm aperture and a 0.33 inches sensor, the iPhone 6s also has a camera in the back with lot more megapixels and a lot better 3840x2160 video definition. The iPhone 6s counts with a very superior memory for applications, games, photos and videos than iPhone 5s, because it has 128 GB internal storage.
IPhone 6s has a little longer battery lifetime than Apple iPhone 5s, because it has 1715mAh of battery capacity instead of 1570mAh.
Although Apple iPhone 6s is a better device, it is way more expensive than the iPhone 5s, and it doesn't have such a good relation between it's price and quality as iPhone 5s. So if you need that extra specs and features, you can buy the Apple iPhone 6s, but if you don't you can save a couple dollars and buy the iPhone 5s, resigning some specifications.
