Frank,I just don't understand that one Pete. I honestly don't. Phonescoping is so easy and so much fun. I just don't think it has been promoted enough. All of the folks I have talked to or have shared video/pics with on the internet loved them and couldn't believe the results that one could get from a good spotting scope and readily available cell phone.
Pete,The additional 0.1mm width and 0.2mm depth of the iPhone 6s aren't enough to make a difference with the Opticron adaptors because the material is somewhat plastic. In fact the 6s is probably a more snug and secure fit in our 6 adaptor as a result.
Because we now have Swarovski products in stock, we can now, in theory, measure up to make adaptors for the STX/ATX or HD eyepieces to work with iPhone 4, 5, 5s, 6 and 6s, Samsung S3, S3 Mini, S4, S5, S5 Mini and S6. However, there's actually apparently very little demand as any time we ask our dealers if they want them, the silence is deafening
If we made these available on a "build to order" basis, the price would be about £60/€85/$75 plus local delivery cost. Lead time would be about three weeks from point of order.
Cheers, Pete
I use Phone Scope products, work great and they make a custom to fit your equipment no charge.
You'll love it, and their service is greatI've taken a punt and ordered one complete with the new Bluetooth remote shutter release for my iPhone 6/Swarovski zoom...
Fingers crossed!

Hi Mike
Mixed so far! - the first adaptor for the Swarovski zoom was too tight - so I concluded that I likely have the older (pre 2009) zoom lens which needs a very slightly bigger adapter. Newprow's (the UK distributor) customer service was excellent. I phoned them a week past Monday and they immediately agreed to send me the other version to try. That arrived last Tuesday just before we left home to visit family. The very quick testing which I've been able to do suggests that this one is uncomfortably tight as well and I'm having trouble centring the image.
So I'm planning to have a further play with it today. I'm going to try a little silicone polish on the adaptor to see if that helps and try the square photo option on the iPhone which I think will help with the image centring issue. They do a universal adaptor as well so that might be the next step if this one is deemed too tight, but that would be disappointing as it's supposed to be designed to fit...
The Bluetooth shutter gizmo works perfectly so that's a keeper even if I switch to another system.
