Poor Signal/Reception - iPhone 6S Plus

I have noticed that my new iPhone 6s Plus seems to have weaker signal reception than my iPhone 6 Plus. Has anyone else noticed this?


Also, I am not liking the extra weight on this phone. It feels like a tank compared to the prior model.

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.0.1

I am returning my 6s plus tomorrow and going with something else. I have on hand a 5s and and 6. Both get twice the signal as the 6s plus. I have used the same sim in each phone, as well as LTE on data only. I constantly drop calls with the 6s plus where I can use either one of the older iPhone's or my note 5 with zero issues. Has anyone acknowledged there is a problem with the antennas in the 6s plus?

We have not gotten rid of our iPhone 4 or 5 and are considering going back to them. Horrible reception at home with my iPhone 6s and my husband's iphone6. Glad we did not get rid of our landline. We never had this problem before. What the heck has Apple done to create a "new technology phone" that is so horrible when it comes to talking on the phone? My husband relies on his phone for work. Anyone want to buy an iPhone 6 and 6s??
