I Tried Using The iPhone 6s For A Week in 2023

  • A few days after filming this video, still going strong with the iPhone 6s. I think this will be my last dumb phone video for a while, as this seems to be the golden ticket for me and my screen usage. Thank you all so much for watching, I hope you take the time today to spend less time on your phone, and more time in the world. Go for a walk, go for a run, eat a meal without a screen in front of you, or just enjoy the sounds of nature.
    Thanks again,
    Scott with Techno Eclipse

    I use an iPhone 6s as my daily main phone in 2023 and have no issues with it. I even use an iPhone 5s as my secondary for music and UA-cam. Apple still supports the 5s and 6s on iOS 12 and 15. All apps still support the 6s too, I’ve never came across an app that wouldn’t work on the 6s and lots of apps still work on the 5s even.

    The fact that this phone is only one iOS version behind right now(15.7) versus the currently supported iPhones is nuts. I just read that Samsung will be ending OS support this year on the S20 series and they will not be getting Android 14 which includes the $1400 S20 Ultra that came out in...2020. I mean, I love Android, but that's downright absurd.

    Paying for a battery swap (even if you overpay and pay double to have it done at the Apple Store or at an Apple Authorized place), factory resetting your phone (after a backup, of course), and buying a new case and screen protector if your own are beat up, will give you that new phone feeling at a fraction of the cost, and it is much less wasteful than tossing your current phone in the drawer. If your phone has too little storage, like the 16 GB models, where you are unable to have the OS and your daily driver apps installed comfortably, you might have a more solid reason to upgrade in that case.

    @ryanhurst3859 Рік тому +4

    I think having the 13 Pro on hand sort of acts as a safety blanket that allows you to use the 6s more. Here's what I mean: it's easier to commit to going to a lower quality camera, 60hz screen, and giving up all your apps because you don't feel the same pressure of "giving up" that stuff because you know if you wanted/needed it you can grab your 13 Pro.
    Even just with apps, the thought of deleting so many of them off my 13 is stressful to the point that I have never even attempted it. If I could leave them on there "just in case" and then get an older phone with limited apps, it's much more doable. Same for the other stuff, I may stress that I couldn't go back to 60hz. But if I have the 13 Pro as a backup just in case, I can try out an older phone and might end up committing to it and realizing I don't need 120hz, but would have never made the leap to find that out without the safety of having a backup on hand.

So I have a question should I replace it and do you think it’ll actually last more then an an hiur an a half not on the charger? I watch UA-cam quite a bit but it just doesn’t seem right that a phone should die in less than an hiur while watching videos. Plz someone help cause if it’s worth the battery replacement I’ll go today if not I’ll just buy a different phone . Btw this phone is 81% and still dying pretty quickly
