7 Years of iPhone 6S - The Longest Supported Smartphone

[@91Tech]

The iPhone 6S will officially be receiving 7 total years of full software support, by and far the most of any smartphone ever. 2015-16: iOS 9, 2016-17: iOS 10, 2017-18: iOS 11, 2018-19: iOS 12, 2019-20: iOS 13, 2020-21: iOS 14, and now, 2021-22: iOS 15.

It’s trying to compete with the iPhone 5s for the best iPhone ever

[@91Tech]

@@miamidadetransit9918 While the 6S is going to likely end up near the top of my list for best iPhones of all time, I do think the 5S beats it out. The 6S was great but brought a lot of improvements that probably should've happened with the 6; the 5S brought Touch ID and was the first 64-bit smartphone in the world. That being said, both are great phones and Apple has been killing it since the whole 4S on iOS 9 debacle.

Yeah you hit the nail right on the head they’re willing to support older phones because forced obsolescence isn’t relevant anymore because services are kind of making up the money gap. They figure well let’s give them a new version of the iOS that way they don’t switch to android Where we don’t get a hardware sale and we don’t get the services sales anymore.

I still use the iPhone 6s, not willingly, but out of necessity. I bought this phone in 2016 I think Around 2018, I wanted to upgrade, but I'm broke. Past 5 years have been absolutely horrible, I hope to not be broke soon. But even when I don't use the iPhone 6s anymore, i'll still be grateful for this phone. It has always kept up, always updated to the latest OS, the apps have worked fine for the most part. Things are frustrating now, some apps take a long time to load, but eventually, they load and work. If I take a video on an iphone 6s and share it, it doesn't look horrible and old, it looks fine. Only thing that sucks is the battery life, but I generally keep a power bank with me in case I need it.

I love my 6S. Still going strong and all the phone I need.

[@kimmeeb]

I got the 6s as my first new smartphone on my 16th birthday and I'm *still* limping it along 5 years later. It's starting to die on me, the battery overheats, the charging port is loose, and the speakers are a little shot, but it still works great

[@herschelmarcelo6727]

I'm not an apple user, though someone gifted me an apple watch and I wanted to use it, found the 6s on offer up and came to this video to see if it worth picking it up.

[@SHEEPeros]

Happy user of 6s plus here :). Loving touch id, bigger size and overall performance. So much so, I've replaced the battery to extend my phone's life. I think 91Tech hit the nail on the head by saying that customers happy with their previous experiences are more likely to buy their next device from Apple. It might be even more important than being "locked" into Apple's ecosystem.

[@Croissant69_]

iOS 12 is actually still having some minor updates (Security wise) for the IPhone 6. So yeah, u could still say that the iOS 12 is still somehow supported by Apple up to this day.

[@pathikdesai5853]

Still using 6s bought it in Nov’15. It does lag until my battery reaches 15% and it usually only lags in camera. I’m so much in love with this phone that I don’t wanna change and your video just gave me more concrete reason to love my phone. Thank you so much!!

[@janem2479]

I got my iPhone 6s 3 weeks after the release date in 2015, and it’s still rocking along great in 2022! A battery replacement a couple years ago gave it a new lease on life. Sure there are better cameras and faster phones, but it’s all I need right now. I’ll keep it until upgrade is required!

[@zeniktorres4320]

You can get the battery replaced by Apple, and that could speed up your phone, along with longer battery life.

I'm really happy abt this even though I recently upgraded to the 12 from the 7 plus. Its great to know my old phone would probaby still be supported for awhile to come, and I noticed the maintained quality even as I was switching over to my 12 (I was so content that the only reason I switched was because it was a gift). Its also nice that my fam invested their money into a phone that I can comfortably keep for another 5 + years to come since I like holding onto things lol.

I bet you this is an “I’m sorry” from Apple for slowing down your device.

[@lolagepwned]

-_-

[@czardaster3261]

True

[@stx5578]

They only slow your device when the battery ages and cannot support the full power of the device anymore. They do this to prevent the phone from randomly cutting off because of the battery not being able to supply the needed amount of power to the phone anymore.

[@sddrx6000]

Their "apology" has long been accepted.

Using my OG iPhone still, no beta software though. I was SO impressed that they are bringing iOS 15, definitely wasn't expecting that. Still running smoothly. I think now, Apple has all the right incentives. While services as a growing source of revenue reduce the need to sell more hardware to boost sales, making money from selling services and hardware enables them to prioritise users privacy too since there is no need to monetise data.
