Newton,
Lesson to be learned and I hope everyone learns it:
Don't rely on icloud backups alone.
The update to iOS 9 on my 4S skewed my phone and the iCloud backups of it vanished completely. Fortunately, I had the foresight to perform manual local backups. If I hadn't done that, I'd've been SOL.
FWIW, no issues moving from the iPhone 4S to the 6S. I got the new phone, restored it from a local backup, done. No muss, no fuss.
