If you are thinking of upgrading iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, then the new iPhones are slightly updated versions of the previous models. However, if you are not satisfied with your iPhone 6 camera, then it is worth getting iPhone 6s with an improved camera.
Another reason to think about upgrading iPhone 6s is the 2GB of RAM (still to be confirmed). Frequent reloading of web pages in Safari and constant app updates was one of the most common problems with the iPhone 6 Plus, which only comes with 1GB of RAM (as does iPhone 6). iPhone 6S with two gigabytes of RAM should solve this problem to some extent.
