      nice cases, too bad i dont have a compatible device (older Galaxy), btw as far as slow apps, ive found that many of them that look simple are just mini web browsers that take you to a smaller page for mobile devices, and usually the websites are dog slow (our local state fairs is like this).

    As someone who daily drove a 32GB iPhone 6 from 2016 to 2021 (it came bundled with a Telstra mobile data plan from JB HiFi back in 2016); I honestly miss it for the simple function of the Touch ID to authorise things instead of double-tapping the power button and scanning my face with my 64GB XR (bought secondhand at Cash Converters in 2021) but otherwise I do NOT miss the panic attacks of if my phone is still in my pocket or not!
    Never had a "bendgate" issue as I was careful enough to put the iPhone 6 in a protective case right away with a screen protector so it wouldn't bend or break in usage - also I kept it in my *side* pockets and mot my *back* pocket when I put it away. I'm surprised people didn't realise *sitting on your phone* might be a problem...

      Funny tho, my little sister managed to kill 3 phones (among the poor ones, a iPhone) just with sitting on it.
      I've told her countless times, if she wants to keep it longer, STOP putting in your back pocket... But she didn't listen, still to this day, she does that and i've told her to not roughly 5 years ago.
      It's totally fine to have it there but it's not fine to sit on it haha xD

      How did you manage to use an iPhone 6 until 2021? Mine in 2019, after iOS 12 upgrade, became painfully slow and unproductive. Plus, the battery was gone. Used for work and with loads of suff on it. So maybe that’s a reason.

      Sometimes apple removes stuff so they have room to add new items or to safe space or money lol. I didn’t know but newer phones are becoming less packaged with important items like a adapter. I didn’t know the iPhone removed live wallpapers and I was lucky to get the iPhone 6s that was the last iPhone with a headphone Jack

    The iPhone 6 is definitely one of the most memorable iPhones out there to date. I have a 6+ as a backup and I've had no problems using it when I can't use my 13, the camera, while worse, is still manageable, the battery life is bad but I've replaced the battery in mine and carry a small battery pack for it. However something like an iPhone 7 or 8 would be more feasible and useful in 2023.

    I got an iPhone 6s with 64GB for €25 (+5 shipping) second hand. It's cheaper than a new SD card of the same storage size but it came with a fully working unit of the best phone ever made. The 6s is an iPhone 6, but with 3 more iOS updates, 4K video, 3D touch and taptic engine, the touch ID is so fast it scans with a tap instead of press, it's the same thickness and it has a headphone jack. With double the RAM and a way faster SOC with a 90% GPU performance boost it's incredible and still usable for everything, 8 years later! App support is great for now, but won't last long as more iOS versions get released. The battery life is poor, but this happens to all devices of this age, Android phones too. The iPod batteries are the worst tho (nano and early iPod touch). I'm glad the batteries last enough for a day of use with a couple small charges during the day. If you switch to an iPhone 1-5s for a day, getting the big screen of an iPhone 6 is a luxury again. Just like when it was new!

    I think just stepping up to the next year's 6S would be MUCH better experience. It got updates all the way up to iOS 15 and was much more technically robust as well so its performance holds up significantly better than the 6 as well.

    I have an iPhone 6s Plus from my dad, and it still works to this day. Even after countless cracks and drops, its somewhat capable of running games and apps while almost struggling to run instagram's editor. But even after all that, the battery capacity absolutely sucks. To use it daily from day to night, requires at least 2 full charges to get you going. There's also other issues with thermal, camera stabilization, audio and microphone, etc. But overall, it's still absolutely useable to this day, maybe no longer next year.

    P.S. I do not rate Apple's newer phones due to the lack of basic features required (such as a headphone jack and fingerprint scanner - even the Galaxy A50 has an in screen fingerprint sensor) and the severe lack of repairability to 3rd parties, including end users.

My touchscreen was not working properly and I only have limited data. It does look bad for now, but I decided to keep my iPhone 6 because I might save it for nostalgia and childhood feelings. Wait until the next 5 years this iPhone will look so luxurious that it is not even in sale, yet is pretty cheap.
    I have my iPhone 15 because I wanted an upgrade to use it permanently but i still keep my iPhone 6 which was lent by my dad in 2020. I don't want to sell or destroy it because I wanted to keep it like a decoration even with shit cracks on my phone.

    I still use my 6s and it's the only phone I've used since I purchased it in August 2017. I chose it over the iPhone 8 because it still had an auxiliary port. It's still a reliable great phone. But I think I will soon purchase an iPhone SE 3rd gen because my speaker phone is not usable, battery is not great... and I just got it replaced for the 2nd time in March. Speaker isn't good anymore, and some apps are slow. But it's still usable! It's pretty amazing to me.

    Colours being 'washed out' can also be a camera module thing. I have an iPhone 11 and still prefer its images to the newer iPhones, which are just too aggressive in colour and contrast. The 15 is the first one that makes me go 'all right, I can live with this'. I refuse to pay that much for a phone though (they are way more expensive here in the Netherlands than they are in the US. I think it's 700 bucks there, it's close to 1100 here). So I hope mine will last for a few years, by the time the iPhone 17 is released I'm sure i'll be happier with the price of the 15 :D.

      You are right about the colors though, you just have to turn off every settings on the new phones, and 15 does not even allow that. My 6S did better with exposure.

    A few years back I got a new-old-stock Moto G5, which is a budget Android phone from 2017.
    The update server was down, while I planned on loading on LineageOS I've been using it's factory Android 7 ROM.
    I like it's older design, which somewhat resembles the iPhone 6 with a similarly placed fingerprint reader, but has the old arced top and bottom and fake chrome bezel.
    While it's slow, I've been daily driving it since and got some good usability out of it by changing out most of the Google apps for lighter alternatives.
    I'm waiting for new phones with replaceable batteries before I replace it, while I have a backup phone running Android 11, I prefer this old brick.
    The older interface is nice to use and it's the first phone I've had that has been fully reliable and hasn't started lagging more over time.

    I don't think I will ever have a cheaper phone than the iPhone 6. I bought it used in 2017 for 130€ and replaced the battery for 30€ or so in 2019.
    Hurts a bit to pay 720€ for the iPhone 13 Mini, because I don't use my phone that much. But with phones getting bigger and bigger this seemed like the last opportunity to get something this small.
