      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.

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!

  • @arizkayaba

    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.

    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 still have a 6S with me and I could realistically still use it day to day if I really had to. Its insane that a phone from 2015 is still this usable 8 years later.

    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.

    I have an iphone 6s which is hella cracked because I broke the screen protector. This iPhone works pretty well, cameras were pretty smooth ngl until there were a few problems with my iPhone 6. 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.

    You can use touch ID with a somewhat new iPhone model, iPhone SE 2 has it and its a pretty decent device if you just want to use it as a phone to make calls, take photos and send messages. I use iPhone SE2 after I switched from iPhone 6 and iPhone 8. It looks almost like these phones. I even plan to buy a few of then once they go on a serious sale just to make some reserves if my current phone dies.

    Thanks for a good review of the iPhone 6 in 2023 - one of my friends sent me an iPhone 6 a while ago which requires a new screen and battery. I might just fix it up and use it as a test phone.
    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.

    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.

    I had this phone when it was new back in 2014. And I remember knowing that it was super reliable when it came out but as time went on, the battery was horrible and the screen was way too dim to use outside. Even at full brightness. Now I basically use it as an iPod. I did get the 32GB and it’s still works. I changes the battery, not that hard, and it is next to my desktop connected to my Spotify car thing in order to have my primary phone charging or updating. Sadly I’m not sure how long it will continue to surviving on ios12 but it still works even after 9 years

      My dad gave me his old iPhone 6 when he upgraded to a newer phone. The battery life on it was absolutely atrocious. A full charge would last me half an hour to 45 minutes. An hour if I was lucky. Came to a point I had the phone plugged in pretty much every time I was using it. I would take the phone to school with me and I'd have to bring the charger with me. I would have to charge it at least a few times a day. I charged it to 100% one morning before leaving for school and less than an hour later, I was in class and the phone was already on 20 something % just from me listening to music with it on the way to school. It did not hold a charge at all. Ended up upgrading to a Samsung Galaxy S7 and that phone was a lot better. It's laughable how bad the battery life is on the iPhone 6. I've had iPod Touches as well that didn't have great battery life and even those had better battery life than the iPhone 6.

Speaker isn't good anymore, and some apps are slow. But it's still usable! It's pretty amazing to me.

It was actually a great phone but unfortunately i have to let my older cousin borrowing it for his business which is kinda bummed but hey at least it can be put into use in my cousin business and generate some revenue (just hope that he kept the promise not to update the phone to the newest ios version when he finally returned it in a far future)
