    8 year old phone and still getting security updates, this is why iphones are still ahead and one of the reasons why i switched to iphone 2 weeks ago.

    I’m watching this on the 128gb 6S I bought new on November 2nd 2015. Still works fine. On its 3rd OEM battery and got to say the battery doesn’t last long nowadays. It can just about get through a day as long as I don’t browse the internet too long. But it still does everything I want it to and it hasn’t been slowed to a crawl by updates like my old 4S was. So at least Apple got that part right. I may be ready to upgrade by the time the iPhone 16 is released.

    Hey, just discovered your channel, and your content looks so cool! I am planning to do some content like this on my own channel soon as well. Amazing video! believe it or not, I just got a space gray 6s donated to me this weekend by a close friend (at&t wouldent take it for a trade in for his iPhone 12) and I have plans to sim unlock it, move my tracfone sim to it, replace the battery, and use it. So far, just with small tasks, very happy with its performance on iOS 14 (wont be upgrading to 15 until app support for 14 is dropped), and I am very pleased with all the features of the phone, especially with the screen, which looks way better than in my current phone screen. Keep up the great work, and hope that work will stop torturing you soon (Trust me, your schedule will become more stable soon and you will find more energy to do stuff).

    I had the iPhone 6s as my daily phone during the iOS 10-11 era, and I really enjoyed my time with the device, one of my favorites aside from the iPhone 13 Pro Max and iPhone 11, but I can say that my particular unit ran HOT, throttled a lot, and i had one battery lose more than 10% health in a year - yikes. So the poor longevity of the battery was one of the reasons I was so glad to get a newer device when in college, albeit i didn't need it nearly as bad back then but when I was having to charge my phone at least twice a day when the battery was a year old? No bueno. But at least the cameras were usable for shooting video, and I did a bunch of that with that phone since that was the only good camera I had. Still do that to this day with my iPhone 14 Pro Max, so it's only gotten better (then again it should've cause the price went up a bunch since then). But I'm sure I had a bad unit since chipgate was a thing, and I was the unfortunate soul to get the Samsung A9 phone, not a TSMC A9 phone, ah well.

    Absolutely. I Stil have as a bk up. It’s my iPod Touch replacement. It has the diver caee so it’s My expendable beach goer. It does as u said but for us modern or younger tech blokes, u feel it’s age in app taxing task , runs out of memory quicker in some updated ram hungry social & streaming apps (if multiple task open) Otherwise, fine w/ new battery. Even the XS Max is showing its memory age Both awesome phones.

    Even though my primary phone is a 12 mini, I still regularly use my 6s plus to watch videos on youtube because of the 16:9 display.

    Hey, yesterday i found my old ipad 1 and to my surprise it still works good. And the battery is still good. Ive seen that you are trying to get ios 7 on there, have you done anything with it recently and made any progress with it? I would love to know.

    I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max on iOS 17. I had it on iOS 16 paired to my Apple Watch Series 3 and they did NOT work together. In June I upgraded to the SE 2 and I couldn’t go back! Great video!

      Up to you, it’s a good phone for jailbreaking, and still can be used with cellular carriers, but iOS 12 is really starting to show its age at this point.

    I think the iPhone 6S is too slow on iOS 15 and overheats a lot, so I do not think the 6S is usable in 2023.
