I had to upgrade from an iPhone 6 that I liked just fine, because the OS keeps getting slower and slower. I suspect it relates back to the 3d shimmer effects and adding depth to everything, and transition animations. I suspect Ives needs to be knocked down a peg so that the phone stops getting worse. Apple is still selling the 6s so they test that one a bit more, and it it's completely dead, but it's still pretty laggy compared to how it was when it first shipped.

People tend to disregard statements like this, but they are absolutely 100% true.

I'm still using my iPhone 5S on iOS 8, and I am very happy with its performance. I've never had any issues with sluggishness, lag, etc.

That's the ticket. The further the OS drifts the the original hardware, the more painful the experience.
