Should you still buy an iPhone 6s in 2024?

[@vbmaestro]

1:22 didnt the iphone 11 and 11 pro fully replace 3d touch with haptic in 2019 (not counting the xr since the xs had 3d touch)

[@thenvguy]

Yes you are absolutely correct. It was a mistake made by me. I corrected it a while ago in the description, but I guess I should just pin ur comment so more people get to know about it.

My sister still uses an IPhone 7 plus and after changing the battery the phone became just as fast as it was before.

[@crayzcubing]

I had a 6s for almost 2 years, and it was fine like 80% of the time, other than the battery being terrible and unpredictable. A couple weeks ago i bought a refurbished 12 mini and don't regret it.

[@thenvguy]

Well as I said in the video, most iPhone 6s phones are sold for under 100 bucks. But I personally think it is better to save some more money and buy a 12 or 13.

[@packo_aus]

iPhone SE 2 or 3 are great to buy used or refurbished, as they seem to not hold on to value great, but that means you can get a modern phone for cheap. You’re also going to be future proofed unlike a iPhone 6s. If you want to get a full screen iPhone, go for the 11. Great value for money.

[@mcbchannel7173]

at least get an xr, using 6s in 2024 is mental. if you don’t have any cash to upgrade to xr better use cheap android for future app compatibility.

[@S-1_24-25]

Just get an iPhone SE 2nd or 3rd generation instead. It’s not worth getting a 9 year old iPhone and using it as a daily driver in 2024

[@YoshiMinecraft45]

Currently have the iPhone 15 and I bought this phone for a good price of 30 dollars on eBay. Sadly, the battery is at 79% where I charge it and 2 minutes starts draining fast to the point where it lasts one hour. Also overheats in 5 minutes while watching KZbin, browsing, or streaming shows. Good things about this iPhone is the size is good on the hand, Touch ID, and most importantly the headphone jack. I mostly bought this phone to use as an iPod touch to listen to music and use it as a minimalist phone to cut screen time. Hopefully I can replace the battery soon.

[@thenvguy]

I have the same phone that I use as a iPod and although I love the design and feel, I’d never want to downgrade from my 15 to this. My 15 could run miles around this phone and even though I think the 6s preforms great for it’s age, I can’t imagine using it as a main phone now. I also have a SE 3 that is my favorite phone I’d recommend any iPhone starting from that one and up, the 6s I have lasts about 4 hours with low power mode on and has 99% battery health but I’d rather use my SE 3 since that lasts 6-8 hours for me. I honestly don’t expect iOS 15 to be relevant much longer so honestly even a 12 would be a great option.

Watching this feels so weird. This was my first phone. I still have the motherboard in my cabinet of random shit. I went from Android to this in 2015, have had 8 Plus and 11 during those years til' 2023, atm on 14 Pro Max. Kinda wish they didn't go the Pro route but during all that time I've been really happy with Apple. I might buy this again just for nostalgia reasons. Edit: mean't to type this was my first Apple phone. I was a Samsung boy before that.

used it until a month ago. couldn’t fault it for the most part, only RAM was severely lacking, so that it constantly had to reload apps. headphone jack and touch id are what I miss most when using my 13 pro. that, and the size / weight, which were pretty ideal.

[@LynnX-el7xk]

Just get Bluetooth headphones, that’s way more comfortable then a wired one

[@kaischmidt730]

@@LynnX-el7xk agree on the comfort, however, I have yet to find any that can match even the cheapest microphones on a wired headphone. they all produce digital artifacts that make it difficult for the other end to understand, particularly for my 91 year old dad. whether he understands me properly is my only relevant measurement of quality in this regard ;)

1:21 iphone xr was the first to loose 3d touch, 1:46 all s model iphones have got an aditional year of ios updates, iphone xs has like 6 years for example. also paying over 30 euros for a 6s is outageous. best part about this phone is you can jailbreak it on the latest software.
