The $69 iPhone experience

[@lachlanbrown8110]

I remember my friend got the 6S day one and everyone in my highschool class was crowded around them watching the animated 3D touch wallpapers with the fish. Still sad that 3D touch never really took off.

[@AllenZrust]

One of iPhone’s most underrated features

[@WaffleFlakes]

I going to donwngrade back to XS 3D Touch just feels so fluid and instantaneous…Haptic Touch really sucked

[@MapleEmpire]

But on iPhone 11s, getting rid of 3D Touch meant better battery life, and even though I was a 3D Touch enthusiast, I would have better battery life over it any day.

[@WaffleFlakes]

@@MapleEmpire It’s not a zero sum game, Apple just touted it that way so no one would complain their manufacture cost savings in reality most of battery gains is because iPhone 11pro is significantly thicker in fact it’s the thickest iPhone than xs to house a larger battery…

[@WarriorsPhoto]

I wonder why? I liked it as well.

[@JeffCD77]

If someone uses a case and a screen protector from day 1, iPhones can look brand new out of the box even after 6 years. The instant I remove the protective plastic (actually now it's paper) off my new IPhones, a screen protector goes on and the second after my SIM is inserted, a case. My iPhones literally look brand new when I retire and sell them. I would challenge anyone to find a single blemish. I can't understand how anyone can not use a screen protector and a case on thier devices.

[@Joesizzle442344]

I don’t have phone insurance and a $1200 phone isn’t fun to fix a $400 screen. The 80-90$ on a quality case and screen protector can go along way for a guy who wants to keep his phone nice for 3 or so years until the new phone. From there you can sell it and recoup part of your money back for the new phone.

[@mattevans7884]

I'm very particular about my tech. I do exactly as you describe with my phones and iPads from minute zero. My Macs are very well cared for too and as a result, when I have come to resell any of them, I always command a better price than most as they are damn near perfect in condition.

Yup, I just got my 13 pro and the second I took it out if it’s box, I admired it then put on a *clear* case and tempered glass screen protector

[@bradleyhenady2032]

iPhone 13 Pro Max user here….I cannot stand phone cases. I also pay for apple care so if something were to happen I’m not to concerned.

I'm a teacher and I use this for my class! I got a great deal on them for used "B" Quality with some minor dents and scratches to the frame for $50 each. It was perfectly usable. I fix tech as a hobby on the side so I did battery replacements for all of them and they work like new. They have so many uses in the classroom, such as a translator for my EL kids, doing movie projects with the camera, and students can also use them as a reward when they do good. Not only that, but you can make a secondary account and turn on screen time to block out anything you don't want them to use it for like downloading new apps or going on the web. I also run the yearbook club and handing out a iPhone 6s with a rugged case puts my mind at ease compared to a DLSR. I highly recommend this!

Your speech at the end about using old tech really speaks to me. I got my first iPhone, a 5C, in late 2013 and used it all the way up until early 2020. The battery on the phone still lasted 2 or 3 days, it had a headphone jack, and could use most of my apps (which weren't many). The thing that made me get a new phone was my 16GB of storage was full (I regularly had to delete photos and messages) and one of my apps for work wouldn't work on the old iOS; had these two things not been a problem, I'd have gladly kept using it. Even after my new phone, I took this 5C to work, got it on the wifi, and used it for KZbin, music, and ebooks while working to save wear and tear on my new phones battery and I still use the 5C as an alarm clock to this day (still lasts 4 or 5 days without charging just sitting as an alarm clock too!)

I switched to Xiaomi phones out of China because I can get really good cameras for between US$25-300 rather than spend A$1000 - 2000 to get an up to date with the latest iPhone camera.

蘋果是有史以來最糟糕的公司, 不買 他們 他們

Hi Luke, I’m one of those. Have two iPhone 5SE that are fully functional. The 16Gb is for voice recording and the 32Gb for most other tasks. As a senior non-gamer, they work just fine. I was in a store recently checking out the 13’snot too shabby. The 13 pro would be more than adequate and screen big enough. Will probably wait another year for the 14’s with 256Gb storage that will hopefully last me for years to come, provided that Apple doesn’t make them with built in self destruct 🤞. Keep up the great videos! SK

watching on my 6s 😎

[@ThatTonybo]

Lots of 6S in Australia for $100 or lower which is an awesome deal. If you even go up to the iPhone 7 (which has issues) you jump to $150-300 territory

69 is an interesting number Luke.

[@KuntalGhosh]

a 6-7 year old phone still usable and looks good enough is still incredible .. i am an android guy but still most high to mid range androids will start slowing down after 2-3yrs and using a 6yr old android is unimaginable , u can't even watch youtube on those.

[@motorolas]

Still have 2016 SE and iPad mini 4’s in service in our house for the kids devices. Glad Apple coming out with updates, even getting iOS update 12.5.5 for our old iPhone 6+ for security updates.

[@chumbawumba1959]

iPhone 6S+ ... possibly the best all round iPhone every sold ... when considering fit, form, function. Closely followed by iPhone 4 ... which was one of the most gorgeous iPhone models ever.

[@peterkatznelson12]

I’m still using a 5SE just for simple tasks and yes if I talk for an hour, it cooks, I couldn’t fry a pidgeon egg ( size limit), but nearly! Love your videos🤓🙏🏻

[@TheRealAndreasBartel]

Got my 6s as a company phone because my 4 was not supported by outlook and other apps in 2016. The 4 is in its box… The 6s still in use, replaced the battery myself this year (company changed phone police, it’s mine now) I bought another 6s for private use in 2019, was second hand, came with 100% battery and some month of guarantee from Apple, needed to replace the battery as well. Both will be used as long essential apps are supported, such as banking, train, the airline I use. It gets hot when I surf the internet, maybe it’s the excessive use of video adds or whatever, normal use, even KZbin or Netflix run without heating up the phone. The 4 still works, but is turned on just some time in a year to, well… have fun

The iPhone SE is another option that can run iOS 15, and it’s even cheaper. It has the same specs as the 6s, but with a smaller display and longer battery life. I have it and the screen time is around 4 hours (depending on the app), and with normal use the battery can last for the whole day.

[@peachpanda88]

Honestly one thing that is great about Apple is that their products last for years. I have a new Macbook, Ipad and phone now but all my old apple devices are all still functioning even after more than 5 years. It's durability is amazing!

[@Stop4MotionMakr]

My aunt uses an iPhone 4. Yes FOUR that is about 10 years old by now. And my mom still uses her iPhone 6 to listen to radio at home. Both work just fine.

[@ich_16]

0:54 i can answer it🌚 , yes its still usable cuz am still using it as my daily phone since i bought it when it launched i don't use my phone a lot , it doesn't even reach 2hours of using per day ,i use my mac and the pc all the time

[@zzXertz]

I have been using my 6S for the last 6 years and I have zero complaints. I have iOS 15 and its still a quick phone. I'm waiting for my new 13 Pro to arrive in the mail, i know that the jump in tech i will feel will be mindblowing.

[@grumbirky]

This was my Dad's phone, then my Mum's. The battery life in the last couple of years was terrible. When Mum got an SE last year, I had the 6S to tinker with. Replaced the battery, but it still got very hot in use. Thought it might be the WiFi module, but didn't think it could be the A9 heaving away that did it. Thanks for enlightening me!

[@iforgot3942]

My moms 6S finally started the break down last month. Charging port breaking, battery. She only had 16gb storage. So, I gave her my 11 pro max 256gb. She would of stayed using her 6S but her phone was on life support. She couldn’t update iOS’s, couldn’t add apps, no more picture taking, battery was driving her crazy. So I grabbed the 13 pro max, gave her my 11 pro max, and if she wants to she can take her old 6S back to T-Mobile to see what upgrade she qualifies for. She used it from launch with light use. It was a good phone.

[@halfeatenpi8193]

Watching this on my 6s. Had a new screen for £10 and battery for £11. Still running sweet after using it for 6 years. Not bad for £21 of upkeep for over half a decade

[@MikeBatt66]

My wife has an old SE that’s is just hanging on. A 12 Max Pro is on the way I think.

[@Skrishnakr]

Watching from Iphone 6s and i still love it for what it offers, especially 3D touch🥰🥰🥰

[@mosadik9755]

I really admire the fact that you list your gear beneath the video! I look up to your video quality and would love to partner with you creating Arabic / English tech videos in the US.

[@paulvanobberghen]

I bought a 6S for my mother (79) recently, because the 6 she had was having battery problems, couldn’t run recent Apps, amongst which the Covid eCertificate that is becoming ubiquitous here in Europe, and she understandingly did not want to change her habits. but I payed much more than 79$, about 2.5x in euros. This being said it is a 128Gb, it is refurbished, hence in perfect conditions, has a 2 year warranty and I know whom I bought it from. I think this is worth paying the extra. For what she uses it for, this is just perfect.

[@timrault]

I'm still using an iPhone SE 2016 as my main phone. It has the same processor as the iPhone 6s and what surprised me the most is that it didn't slow down over the years as new software updates got released, unlike my previous iPhone 4. So it still runs fairly smoothly, but I have to admit it's getting a bit old, the battery is terrible, the camera isn't something you can actually rely on for anything high quality and the screen is getting a bit too small for 2023 haha I love the compact format though

[@BattleDroid0402]

My first iPhone was the 6S after I upgraded from using an iPod Touch. My grandmother still uses an iPhone 6 and it's rocking just well!
