Shout out to my dog Cola for refusing to let me record this video alone. But hey, she's cute, so if you want to see more of her definitely hit up my Instagram @91_tech lol
Hi
Love your Dachsund mate. I missed my daughter's dog Emmet very similar to Cola.
This phone 📱 so smooth and fast like new phone 📱
I love iphone
Hello
beverage dog very cute
The fact that the iPhone 6 is now 7 years old is mind boggling.
@PlonkerPot king move
I still remember how my mother could not figure out how Touch ID worked and she kept tapping the icon that showed on the screen instead of the sensor lol
I remember wanting one back then whenever I saw it in Best Buy or target stores
I always thought when the 5S came out, it looked super futuristic with iOS 7 and Touch ID. Then the 6 came out and it was just like that but on another level.
@@TheOriginalCollectorA1303 for real. When I got one I was just so amazed. I think the bigger screen made it look more futuristic or something to me lol
Shoutout to all the iPhone 6 and 6+ users😎 long live iOS 12👍🏿
I still use it :/ it can be kinda slow tho
Salute bro😎just change the battery or get a battery case👍🏿Problem solved...
I’m using at my main phone to this day. It’s always asking me to update to iOS 12.5.1 lmfaoo
@@esosa_8579 🥺🥺😂 I remember it doing this to me too .. especially whenever I turned the phone off on the nights I decided to turn off the phone to charge it
mine died yesterday lmao
The iPhone 6S was such a huge upgrade over the 6 IMO. This video reminds me how much.
The iPhone 6 was basically the same as the 5S, but the 6S was the real upgrade
@@oliverstemp9132 yep, the 6S is still usable to this day , in 2021, with the latest iOS. (at least for now... will iOS 15 run on the iPhone 6S? we'll find out in june...)
@@babyboomertwerkteam5662 my mom got a new phone so now I have her launch day iphone 6 for free. Tried to download netflix... oof.
@@babyboomertwerkteam5662 6 was only skipped for iOS13 because it had 1 GB RAM. iOS14 would've been the last build for 6S regardless.
I feel like the 6S is what the 6 should've been to start with.
I think we all know that one blonde girl who orders starbucks every day with a gold iPhone 6 or rose gold iPhone 6s with a cracked screen
yesss but the girl was black
yes then would make fun of android people
The iPhone 6 was not offered in a rose gold color
@@Tuitionn the 6s was
@@hannahjolene3333 yeah
Me watching on 6s: wow what an old phone
Reckon he got it spot on??
@Avery R same
My 6s was the best performing iPhone I ever owned. I miss the white bezels and silver ring around the TouchID button.
@@Ronnocbot ye@
yall better have jailbroken it
this time I'm faster than my sister's Iphone 6
Lol I turned on my old iPhone 6 today and literally it was so slow and the battery drained 2% in 1 min literally so Ik how iPhone 6 is now thankfully I got the SE 2
I got rid of my 6S a couple of years ago becsuse my battery was also dropping about 2% a minute. Apart from that, the phone was still excellent.
Dude that’s the exact same upgrade I had.
Yea i recently got a xs max and i didnt know iPhones could be this fast...
@@THEcoolGAMER60 I love my 12 pro max for media like You Tube, Apple TV or live sport, just amazing.
@@THEcoolGAMER60 You haven't seen fast until you tried a OnePlus.
This was my first iphone i remember how happy i was when i got it
Mine was iPhone se 1st gen🥴
Mine was iPhone se 2nd gen 🥴
My first iPhone was the iPhone 4
Me too

My friend still uses his iPhone 6 it’s the 4.7 inch model and his battery health is frozen on 90% because of course there’s no more Apple updates to re-calibrate the battery health. The only major app he has on it is Facebook and I didn’t ask him how the performance is but he can easily go through an entire day playing music while outdoors, using a few apps and FB messenger and phone calls. We tease him that it must be nuclear powered or some experimental nuclear phone Apple released by accident because that thing just will not die.
Thats interesting
lucky
Yeah the richer friends will always hate
@@1979Shady He has money but I think he has sentimental attachment to it or something he still uses it.
Still use my 6, too! LOL! I've been fairly happy with it, except for the fact that the touchscreen blinks out every now and then without warning. BUT! I am a proud Gen-Xer, so take my comment with a grain of salt! ;)
I’ve replaced the battery three times. Still going strong 💪🏻
Haha
I had it until last summer, then I switched to iPhone 11. Hang in there man
Still going strong 💪🏻
@@NorwegianNationalist1 I had a 6 plus and got a 11 yesterday it feels insane
@@wantstoknowyourlocation520 Haha I know right, the camera is just insane compared to the old one. Pretty much everything about the 11 is just better. You'll get used to the size difference quite fast, that was the weirdest thing for me
I finally upgraded from the 6 back in November 2019. My 11 runs so much better, that 6 did its job but wow, I was missing out and didn’t know it. I kept mine in a LifeProof case and it stayed in great shape over the years.
can i have your 6?
Time flies😆 .. it looks like yesterday with those high school memories with iphone 6 .
Ong it was such a vibe
Watching this on my iPhone 11 after I switched up from a 6 a few weeks ago. This video speaks to me. Big ups to anyone still using an iPhone 6 . It’s hard using that phone in 2021, especially if you’re a gamer like me. Y’all doing the most 🙌..
Just came from a 7 to an 11, and I feel this comment. It was a struggle using a 7. Super happy though with this 11
Still have my 6 plus, it's sitting in my 8 plus box as we speak. I upgraded to the 8 plus in 2017 and to the Galaxy S20 in 2020. So it's two phones ago now. I turn it on every now and then just to give it a little charge. It is incredibly slow and hard to use these days, but no bend and no touch disease.
91tech: starts filming
Cola: so you have chosen death
hahaha! cola is a cute doggo
Josh: let me film
Cola: no, I don’t think I will
Still using my 6, installed a new battery a few years ago. Touch screen recently starting acting wonky, did a phone reset working better. I did order a new battery and touch screen so I'll install those parts and see how it goes. I'm an old dude mostly use it for light texting, phone, news, music, etc., oh and of course CZcams videos :)
i am using iPhone 6 . i am very satisfied. i am using CZcams alot. its camera is also good
Thank you😊
Me too
I was a freshman in high school when the 6 and 6 Plus were new.
It’s like he makes reviews of everything he finds lying around his room😂
Get an iPhone released in 2015 or after. The extra gig of RAM makes all the difference. I think 2 GB is sufficient enough or at least for a couple more years. While 4 GB can last a decade (2015-2025).
Love your Dachsund mate. Yes iPhone 6 still getting security updates and I still use my 6s which is a massive upgrade from the 6.
Happy 7 years of youtube and great video keep ups the great work
My 6 still going strong! Love it!
I still use one sometimes as a backup
i use the s5 active as a work phone to make calls
@@thelifeofkyran7748 Samsung Galaxy S5
I lived 3 years with that phone, and its still amazing phone even after that years, 12.5.2 works very very good, all apps still updates
Been sticking to my iPhone 6s Plus for about a good 5 years now, I can everything said in this video is perfectly true, though I am fortunate enough to not experience any major touch disease.
Other than the terrible battery, this phone is still going strong-I even have an OtterBox phone case so it’s nearly invincible in everyday use.
When it finally gives out (to which I’ll give a valiant salute for its testament of time), only then will I upgrade to a newer model. Right now though, I feel it’s got *at least* 2-3 more years of life, maybe even more depending on its physical condition.
Same here ive been using mine since 2016 and still really good even though i have to charge it like 5 times a day
Have you ever looked into a battery replacement if you want to keep it much longer?
Its been a year hope you upgraded by now
Not sure if I got really lucky but I recently received my dad's iPhone 6 and it has excellent battery life, far better then my Galaxy S7 that I have used for 4 years.
I have the same battery issues on my 7 edge
i clicked on this video knowing my phone was going to get dragged but i clicked and watched it anyway XD
I still have my gold IPhone 6 plus 128 gb version. Great build quality, still performs really well.
Your dog is wonderful and you have a great voice and explain very good. Thank you bro from Italy 🇮🇹❤️
This was my first iphone i got second hand back in 2017. It shut down unexpectedly only at the beginning of this year. I loved it and had it not broke, I would be happy to still have it!
p.s: Cola is super cute!! :)
Mostly its the Battery what causes this
I remember getting the 6 from my 4 in 2014. I miss those good old days 😢
@Beluga replace the battery urself 20 bucks in Amazon
I loved my iPhone 6. I got it in early 2015, after having an iPhone 5 since it came out in September of 2012. Never had a bend issue or slow down or battery issues. I had it from May 2015 to October 2017 when I got an 8Plus (my favorite iPhone so far)
Love the dog and great video. I had to update from my iphone6 plus to the 11 way better
This was my first ever phone and I used it until the end of 2019 when I upgraded to the galaxy s9, it did it's job pretty well and the battery wasn't that bad
I use an Iphone 6 even in 2022 for me capturing photos and playing Call of Duty all is fine and graceful. Actually nobody needs a phone upgrade every year. Its just a flex nothing else.
god i just changed my FIRST battery from 7 years ago, when it was new. changing it feels like its new.
My 6+ is now an iPod touch gotta ❤️ that headphone jack :) I've since moved on to a 10s as my daily driver about a yr ago. But I still find myself using the 6+ on occasion.
Hey thanks for posting this. I have a family member who's in a pinch with an old iphone6. This was very informative. The only pain point they're bumping against is the battery life so I'm looking to help them out and do a battery replacement and hope it works out. If not probably time to upgrade since the battery is randomly powering down the device. Also struggling with storage space too so we'll probably dump a bunch of junk off icloud when the time comes.
I still have my iPhone 6 as a secondary phone. The battery is swelled up but it still works.
I don't use it for the camera but in a pinch it'll do okay if I forgot to bring my Android phone.
Just updated from the iPhone 6 earlier this month to a 2020 SE. Honestly, my iPhone 6 still held up masterfully. I could see the improvements between the two devices, but I would never say the iPhone 6 was bad. Also, am I the only one that really loved the design of the 6 and 6S?
The intro is very addictive very satisfying 👏🤣🤣❤️
I repaired a busted up 6 that a relative had and it got me into iOS. Granted, it’s stuck on iOS12, although - surprisingly, it did get updates in 2021 - mostly to do with COVID tracking granted, but still a nice touch. I moved onto a 6s Plus and then an iPhone 11 which is what I still have now.
Being someone currently stuck with an iPhone 6s Plus, yep I can confirm you nailed it perfectly 😂. Crappy phone battery, not as great camera, sometimes slowing down. It’s all there 👍
I remember when these were new and people were going crazy about them, and I was so sad i couldnt afford one since i was a kid
I used one of those till November 2020, when I finally upgraded to the SE2. The 6 was a great phone and I never had huge issues with it.
Wow that’s a massive upgrade well done 👍👍 the iPhone SE2 has a powerful chip the A13 Bionic 😦🤯
Omg reviewing all the tech in 2021. Really cool
I still got an iPhone 6 I love it still works fine
Same
iPhone 6 gang🥳😎
Me too!
My first iPhone was the 6 when I was like 15. I was so excited because I remember when my aunt had the 4s and then the 5s and I thought they were so cool but I couldn’t afford them at the time lol. My friend also had a 3g for a minute that I used to play temple run on 😂
Now which iPhone you are using?
@@pacificseventy2596 I had the 7 plus after and now I have the 12.
Your all video's are awesome
Inherited a 6, my first iPhone, and found this video very interesting. You have a very fine delivery. Thank you.
I’ve had one of these phones personally but it is the mid 2010s version of the iPhone 11 in terms of sales!!
I actually still use my iPhone 6, and for me it runs great (unless I play an intensive game). I actually got it a few months ago from a relative who never used it so the battery health is actually still 100%
Great content
Been a while since i watched you :)
91 tech is the best channel ever
I still use this phone to this day since I got it brand new. It's fine for talking, texting, instagram and spotify, it used to perform much better with snapchat but hey what are you gonna do its a 7 year old phone. The only reason I'd upgrade is the battery life is progressively becoming more of an annoyance, especially in cold weather because it will shut off and come back with like 5%... At the same time it would suck to pay 1200$ for a new iPhone that does more or less the same stuff and has the same IOS layout (at least for my uses).
Just get the normal 13
@@jackcil4896 not everyone can afford
Looking forward to your video about using a rotary phone in 2021.
iPhone 6 user here definitely going to upgrade because yeah the shut off at random times thats mine
I preordered the iPhone 6 back in the day to replace my iPhone 4, it was a great phone for about. 2 years. then the home button and broke and the battery went to crap. the phone would crash with 20% battery remaining, it literally left me stranded one time and I had to ask someone for directions as I was relying on google maps. I never experienced any bendgate issues though.
the iPhone 6 Ad was amazing... remember Jony Ive
Yes
This free working for me. Thank you for sharing this guide
what
The iPhone 6 and 6 Plus were good for what it was ... I enjoyed using it and despite its flaws it was an amazing experience ... but time has not been kind to it ... it now sits gloriously in my bedroom drawer reminding me of golden glorious days gone by
I have very mixed opinions about the iPhone 6. I loved mine, and it was a great phone, but it wasn't always a great phone. The software really became slower later on. iOS 9 ran beautifully on it, and iOS 10 did alright as well. iOS 11 was terrible for me, and then the phone died. Completely. I sent it to Apple, and they couldn't figure out what went wrong either. They ended up replacing it with a brand new phone, and I only had it for a couple months before I sold it. After selling the iPhone 6 I bought a Galaxy S9 (the first of 2 that I still own), and while I do miss the iPhone 6, I'm fine moving on.
I still use that phone every day and it’s going strong!
How is your experience using the iphone 6?
@@boyoofficial1 It’s been fine. I am now using a 7 along side because the 6 is slow. Still works great for my calling and texting needs!
SAME
I remember when i got it for 2014 christmas. I had 32 or 64gb ( dont remember ) and had it for 2014-2017 that was ultra fast phone. At school me and my classmates played games on it. That was fun.
I have an iPhone 6 it's been with me for the last 6 years, I had to replace the battery, it's jailbroken and I've installed so many tweaks so it's super customized, it's a solid phone and it has to stick around for a couple more years because I don't think I can afford another phone in the future
if you can't eat it is it still worth having at all?
I'm using a brand new iPhone with 64GB of storage while holding on to my 128GB iphone 6
Ikr I also have a 64GB android but who tf throws away a 128GB iPhone 6
Same but my 6 is also 64gb and it still has around 23gb left lol 😂
Fun fact:
My 2012 iPad has more storage than my 32 GB iPhone 7.
I have an iPhone 6 Plus and it still works surprisingly well...no lags or unexpected shutdowns. My biggest issue is the 16GB storage and app compatibility. I’ve never been a camera person but after seeing what the 11pro can do, now my 6plus does look mediocre.
Blows my mind that this phone is now 7 years old! Time flies!
i still have my 6 64gb. it's good for basic purposes. the battery life still good, but has fingerprint issues. if you're on a tight budget just buy the 6s 64gb or 128gb
I still use the iPhone 6. I just ordered an XR. It was okay for the past 5 years with no touch disease. Goodbye iPhone 6 you will be missed! (especially that headphone jack)
Can I have your old phone?
@@arianneshiela760 Sorry but I’m not giving it away. I’m going to use it as an iPod.
I have an iPhone 6 and as far as I'm concerned, it's working just fine, albeit I don't usually test it on it's performance edge. The photos aren't perfect (good enough) and recently I'm not able to use newer apps. I heard that one could install an app that allows you to trick the phone into telling Apple that the iP6 was actually a later phone model and that this would allow me to download and run a more recent operating system. Have you heard about this? Do you know whether it works?
I just got an 11 on Christmas I had the same 6 in the vid lol kinda miss it it’s iconic
i had the 6 and it had touch disease, and i had no clue what that was. i was like 12 at the time and i thought i broke it and was terrified to tell my parents
I love your dog
Thanks! Great video, just bought the 13 pro max and wanted to make myself feel better
I bought iPhone 6 plus new, a year after introduction, for $400. My battery is still at 89% max capacity so it is still running quite well though I am not a social media warrior. Currently the 11 and 12 iPhones are priced close in cost so I would go after the 12 because of the newer 5 connection. I am hoping in another month or two prices drop decently with advent of iPhone 13
I had my iPhone 5s until about eight months ago when I had to unwillingly replace it. My husband is still using his 5S. The phones would still work perfectly well if it wasn’t for battery life and the fact that Apple doesn’t support them anymore. I like to still be the one who decides when I replace some thing. I like my SE because it still has a home button. Taking away the home button from later models Was, in my opinion, the stupidest thing Apple has done recently. It especially made things more difficult for those of us who use voiceover and were used to pressing the home button three times to bring up the accessibility features list Without having to go into settings. There are other things the home button was used fo that I haven’t figured out how to do without one using voiceover.
Josh talking about the 6 camera being grainy. Me: hmm interesting.
The camera on my iPhone 8 doesn’t work at all. The selfie camera does
Is the back camera just black or coming up with the flash cool down message
@@harnekmann1511 it’s just black and the flash doesn’t work but the selfie camera does
@@thatgraysuburban I work with iPhone pro-dominantly and usually the front camera is shorting something on the board but if it’s not that then the back camera needs changing it’s common on both iPhone 8 and 8+ so if you get the chance ask a repair shop to check if the phone is shorting out as the front camera is much more affordable compared to the back on hope that helps and feel free to ask a few more questions
@@harnekmann1511 thanks! Chances are they are gonna have to replace the entire flash and camera assembly. As the flash doesn’t work when the camera doesn’t work. The selfie camera works fine though.
@@PUNCHYTHEGAMER wat
I’m watching on an iPhone 6 and fingers crossed, it’s battery and performance are surprisingly amazing
The design is so iconic, also my first personal iPhone
Still using my iPhone 6 and use it to vlog
Watching this on my iPhone 6! Going to sell this phone soon for an upgrade, maybe a XS Max 🤷♂️
Do it, it’s a massive upgrade
im getting an 12 mini after years of using the 6
@@Joe-im3gs Good Choice! Been thinking about the 11 instead of the XS Max, or maybe 11 Pro instead, since cameras are a really big factor for me when getting a phone.
@@cleos_jericho nice choice, i'm thinking to upgrade from 6 to 11 pro (max) too. Hope you can upgrade soon!
Don’t. Your gonna hate the X and it’s lack of home button.
I have an iPhone 6, I never had a phone until now, and I literally thought it was new until I saw this types of videos
No joke, everytime my new phone breaks or i need it to be fixed, i go back to my iphone 6, it still works like it just came out of the box on launch day
I just upgraded to a xs max from the 6 plus the battery was replaced when I got the phone which was 7 months ago and for the first couple months the battery was good but after that it was really bad mine also started to get touch disease
Dude you must’ve hated the change from 6+ to X. I absolutely despise apple’s design changes with anything beyond 8+
I love how her voice is relaxing 😌
Its a he
Heee
I used one until part way through 2019 and absolutely loved it
Good timing! I was literally trying to look for recent videos of using iPhone 5S and 6 devices in 2021. Keep it up dude!
This iPhone sold the most ever at over 200M. Yet, it's one of the top 5 worst next to the 3G and 5C. It only had 1 GB RAM, Bend-gate, touch disease, and A8 wasn't a huge leap. The 6S aged better thanks to A9 and 2 GB RAM.
Had to use an old iPhone 6 as an emergency back up after my SE cracked and I can’t believe the difference between the 6 and the SE alone, never mind a more modern up to date device of today. The 6 was good for its time but its fallen behind dreadfully now, far too slow, more and more apps are abandoning it, Snapchat takes forever to load up, no IOS update beyond 12 so no dark mode, some existing apps (particularly streaming ones such as Netflix or Crunchyroll) barely work, if at all etc. Can’t quibble too much because of how old it is, but the SE is now an old device also and that still operates very smoothly.
I was sleeping when you posted so I’m late im using my data and I’m probably going to get in trouble but I well tomorrow so ya
I was literally thinking about making a 6s video
one of my older friends i go railfanning with still uses an iphone 6, but he’s a boomer so he probably doesn’t know much about tech 😂😂😂😂
Still use this phone to this day, love it and feels modern 😝
Really?
Upgrade it to a iPhone 11
Yessss sirrrr. Keep more new contents coming!!
