Questions for choosing my first Iphone

Hello all! I'd like to buy an Iphone 6S or 6S Plus. I know that the 6S plus has a bigger battery and a OIS (optical image stabilisator), and of course the bigger screen. So here my questions:

1. I'm a heavy qwerty keyboard user and am looking for a keyboard case for my iphone. Would choosing the 6S Plus be good in finding a keyboard case with bigger spaced keys so typing becomes comfortable? Could you recommend me a case? I read about cases from Brando or boxwaves so far. I grew up with windows and thinkpad/cherry keyboards, so I'm hoping for something similar which fits an iphone so that I have a compact and comfortable working solution on teh go. I need to take notes at sessions. I'd like to use my Iphone as replacement for my braille notetaker Pronto 40 from Baum eventually.

2. Would getting the better camera be helpful when using apps for scanning barcodes or even text documents?

3. Probably sort of a stupid question but should I care about the bigger battery? Are any 6s user out there who regret not buying the 6s plus because of the bigger battery?

Thanks for your replies and kind regards
Ben

In my view, better camera equals better OCR, etc. I've got the 5S, have had it for 2 years now, and am planning to upgrade to the 6S plus later this year. Battery life is a big issue for me. I would get a battery case that has more current than you need, so that way it can keep the phone topped off after it is charged. Also, I heard somewhere that the boxWave is not a good option anymore. I'd either get a apple new gen magic keyboard with lightning connectivity/bluetooth, or another BT keyboard with apple like functionality. I've got a logitech rechargeable BT keyboard that almost feels/looks like the mac keyboard. Also, get as much storage space that you can afford. I'm personally going with 128GB, but it's your call.

For what it's worth, the battery life on my 6S is great. I'm sure 6s+ is better, but I have no problems with the amount I get out of my 6S.
