    It’s crazy how great the A9 was. Compared to the iPhone 6 with A8, which struggles on iOS 12, I can easily use my old 6s on iOS 15. After a battery replacement it ran like it did at launch.

    The iPhone 6s really is an incredibly good device to collect. It's the last iPhone before iPhones seemed to diverge into an alternate universe. The last one with a real, physical home button, headphone jack, 3D touch, and a fingerprint reader so absurdly fast that it became a meme. And on top of all of that, its got a build so thin it's like a trading card with a sort of timelessness where it always looks high quality.

    I've bought my iPhone 6s Plus back in June 2016 when it was still in iOS 9 and used it all the way through October 2021. Used all 7 major iOS versions it supported and they were all performing surprisingly great. Those 5+ years I've had with that phone just made me appreciate Apple and its incrediblemperforming products even more. I've only used 3 iPhones (4, 6s Plus, 13 Pro Max) but I can confidently say that the 6s generation was the greatest.

    The 6S really is the definition of success. I remember back then no phone really came near its performance. So much so that we bought a new one for my dad in 2019, 4 years after it has been released. Just replaced its battery recently and hopefully it will still continue to stay alive and kicking for a couple more years up until the last major app supports iOS 15. A legend of a phone this is.

The A9 chip in it was pretty good and I was really impressed with it.

    I got this phone 2 days after it was released back in September of 2015. 7 years later, I’m still using it as a daily driver. I did not think I would still be using it, but this phone has been tremendously reliable. I am running iOS 13.6, and most apps are still receiving updates. It’s not the fastest anymore, but it still packs plenty of speed (and surprisingly very few instances of stuttering/lag) for opening up apps, playing games, and watching videos. I’ve replaced the battery 2 times, and will probably replace it a third time. This phone to this day still feels fluid and has been bulletproof 7 years down the line.

Seen the 6s Plus going for under $200 on eBay which is a huge steal but some other sites listed it at under $300 either way the iPhone 6s Plus is affordable and will work amazingly well in the year 2041 and beyond.

    A lot of my friends switched to an iPhone. Because they do not need to buy a new phone every year just to experience new features.
    Also, they were impressed with their iPhone, which is built like a tank.

    I used my iPhone 6S all the way up until last year (November 2021). The inability to plug the charging cord into the iPhone, due to what I believed was a worn-out connection on the phone’s end (I tried different cords to no avail), finally brought my time with the 6S to an end.
    I initially got an iPhone 13 in November 2021, but upgraded to the 13 Pro Max 5 months later, in March 2022. I initially thought the Pro Max models felt too large coming directly from the 6S (my local AT&T store didn’t sell the 13 Pro, and I needed an upgrade then and there), but changed my mind after some time with the base 13.

I liked the higher stability of the XS max & refused to jailbreak it since stability issues issued after jail breaking previous iPhones. I paid $250 for the XS max since it needed to be refurbished, replacement rear & front glass as well as new battery which ended up costing $330 like new after getting fixed. Battery health lets the phone go an entire day without needing to be plugged in. It was a happy & sad swap since the iPhone 6s was a phone I absolutely adored & it wasn’t costing me much money to maintain. Ended up doing a solid to the person I sold my 6s to since I replaced the battery a month prior to letting it go. I really liked the phone cause it took a little time to become accustomed to no longer having a home button but after getting used to not having a home button & using swipe jesters now but yes, the 6s was a flag ship phone. I was saddened apple announce the stopping of updates which encouraged me to get the XS max. Sometimes I question my upgrade cause I told myself after purchasing the 6s that I was going to use it till it stopped getting updates but the fact that I replaced it with an XS max 256 gb for approximately $250 before refurbishing it for $110 prior to selling my 32 gb 6S for $250 with 2 morphie battery cases. I was impressed at the waterproofing on the XS max after getting it refurbished but I do miss the convenience size of the 6S since games were easier on the 6S due to its compact size. But I was impressed how long they supporting the 6S & hopefully they will do the same with the XS. I’m guessing they will cause the cost on new iPhones are redonkulous!

    It's still a very usable phone. Although it doesn't receive any more new functions or desgin through major iOS updates, it still gets security patches from minor updates mid-2023. That's enough for me to want to keep it running for a little longer for the reasons you mention in the video.

    I‘m not kidding this is the first sponsored sketch I actually found funny! Also the iPhone 6s will forever remain the Greatest of all time in my opinion. It is the definition of a „sleeper“ (old design but great internals and features). For me The 6s remained usable until iOS 13. that’s when I noticed major performance decreases which made me switch to the slightly newer but also „sleeper“ status iPhone XS. Love your videos btw keep it up :)

      Not sure about calling the xs a "sleeper" phone as its better than the x, but not nearly as noticeably as the 6s vs 6. Tho the subject of sleeper phones is quite a fun one and the current gen se will probably go down as the most impressive of them all considering just how much faster than the 8 it is.

About a month ago it became my main phone, I gave my mom my old Android, which was a 2022 model. She loves her new phone, I love my "new" phone.

    The 6S will be my backup phone for a long time, since it just got a new screen and battery installed👍 works fine on iOS 15 but you can definitely feel it’s age. Especially when listening to music on air pods, if I then try to open another app iMessage, Messenger etc. The music cuts out and the whole phone lags, but if the phone handles one action inside one app at a time then it works fine.

    I'm still using my 6s plus that I bought in 2015, I've changed the battery twice and had to replace the camera. No more support for the latest ios, a shame. But as long as security updates keep rolling, it's no problem. It's starting to be due to a third battery change, but perhaps I should just upgrade to an iphone 11 or something, but then again the iphone 6s plus does everything I need it to do. Plus touch id is great, I'd argue it's better than face id. I wonder if apple will ever come back with touch id, maybe an in-screen reader like on the android phones. The 6S truly was a spectacular phone (and still is), such a big upgrade over the regular iphone 6.

    I have an iPhone 6s (64gb) that I bought in spring of 2016.
    It’s still running great, but I have changed the battery twice (apparently, it’s affordable here compared to the US, only costing 50 EUR for an Apple battery, including installation by a professional). I did that about a year ago and the battery health is still at 100%.
    it was actually known that the older batteries weren’t so great, so Apple even offered a free change from the phone’s original battery if you sent it in (some conditions applied). I just went to a local phone repair shop in my town and had it done overnight.
    Anyway, my 6s is still running excellent and, if Apple would have supported it even longer, I’d keep using it even longer. I love it. There is some lag like you’ve mentioned, but it’s really not bad at all. It runs smooth, etc. All the apps I use run great on it. It really is great and I would honestly prefere not to have to retire it - it’s not broken. (Mine is also in excellent optical condition as well - the screen is unscratched, as it’s had panzer glasses and protective covers on since the day I unboxed it).
    I prefere this design to the others. It’s nice, it is comfortable in my hand (a not thrilled with the iPhone 14, which a friend has and I’ve spent a lot of time with setting it up, showing him how to use it, because he’d always had Androids).
    I like the white stripes on it. I just think it looks great all around.

    My 6s is well and alive. And will probably be for 2-3 years more, when newer app versions will eventually no longer be supported by the device. It's my main device, never had any real issues with it apart from the degraded battery which I will replace. Otherwise it is a lag free experience, everything still feels smooth and I'm running iOS 15.7. It has never frustrated me.
    In comparison, my galaxy s5 started giving me trouble during the 2nd year of ownership. Apps started crashing, it was lagging everywhere, even on simple apps. Hell I once woke up and realised I missed an appointment, because the alarm app had crashed. I even used to format it once a year, but it never worked.

    This take is so on the money. I destroyed my 6 (😢) and replaced it with a 6s - I was truly shocked by the improvement. The s really was what the 6 should have been originally. I actually consider the 6s to be peak iPhone - solid design, great size screen, fast, biometrics, impressive camera, HEADPHONE JACK. I fully embraced phone photography with my 6s and had several years of creative joy with it. I held on as long as I could… before finally upgrading to a 12 mini. The 12 destroyed phone photography for me overnight - I’ve taken close to zero good photos since upgrading. In the years that had passed, the stranglehold of over-processing destroyed the digital lightroom capabilities for me. I truly hate the aesthetic. The most exciting feature on the 14 for me was the ability to take RAW photos - until I realised all those photos would be 48mp. My 6s is still in perfect working order, and there’s only 1 feature that keeps me from using and loving it - the screen is rubbish by modern standards. That’s literally it, I love it in every other way.
