Comparison review
The iPhone 6s has a global score of 83, which is much better than Moto Z Play's 74.4 overall score. IPhone 6s has iOS 9.x operating system, while Moto Z Play counts with Android 8.0 Oreo operating system. The iPhone 6s construction has the same thickness than the Moto Z Play, but it's somewhat lighter.
Apple iPhone 6s counts with just a little better hardware performance than Moto Z Play, because although it has a lower number of cores and also slower and less RAM, it also counts with a graphics processing unit and a 64-bits processing unit. The iPhone 6s counts with a much better screen than Moto Z Play, although it has a way worse resolution of 1334 x 750px, a little smaller screen and a little bit inferior number of pixels per display inch.
The Motorola Moto Z Play counts with a very superior memory capacity for games and applications than Apple iPhone 6s, because although it has only 32 GB internal memory, it also counts with a slot for an SD memory card that allows a maximum of 1,95 TB. Apple iPhone 6s has a camera that's just as good as Moto Z Play's camera, although the Apple iPhone 6s has a worse 3840x2160 (4K) video quality, a smaller camera aperture which is not good for shooting photographs and videos in low-light environments and a camera in the back with much less MP resolution.
The Moto Z Play features a much longer battery life than Apple iPhone 6s, because it has a 105% larger battery capacity.
Although Apple iPhone 6s is a better device, it costs a lot more than Motorola Moto Z Play, and it doesn't have such a good quality/price relation as the Motorola Moto Z Play. If you are trying to save some dollars, you can get the Motorola Moto Z Play, and give up a few specs and features, but you will get the most with your budget.
