I'm going to be completely honest with you darth.
the 6S is probably going to last longer than the 8.
apple's been pretty notorious for having all sorts of weird policies and apparent bugs with their latest hardware.
don't believe me? check out the following two youtube channels.
Louis Rossmann
Ipad Rehab
these two actually go into detail about both the hardware and software problems and explain the how and why.
occasionally with bouts of incredulous rants.

anyway after having tried to fix an I phone 4s myself and discovering that attempting to replace the battery would lead to the phone being bricked because apple booby trapped it to not work unless you use their "tech" software to register the new battery serial with I-OS, I ended up just buying a used one for the end user and copying their data over.
As you can imagine I've been kinda wary on newer apple products until the bugs have been worked out and decent tools have been made that are accessible to the end user.


so yeah I'd stick with the 6 because it's cheaper, probably more durable, and less likely to have unknown problems that the apple store will either not fix or kill your phone trying :\

and that's not reflecting bad on the phone it's self, apple makes great phones, and I love anything unix.
their biggest problem is of the Human Error Variety.
