Where did you buy the device?
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).
I got mine for 20 bucks + 8 dollar screen/battery replacement and it worked really well. Then I sold it and forgot about it sadly as it was getting obsolete very fast
No
@@jjjacer As i was saying before Psivewri deleted my comment. this case is a Chinese clone of all other cases on the market
Psivewri you are such a POS stop taking sponsors from the first person that gives you a boat load of money because it's obvious thats all you care about🤣
It is a blast from the past and a reminder of simpler times when 16GB of storage felt like luxury
it still is, for ram that is
Apple apps are much smaller, as IOS is based on unix, not Android/Linux.
@@ProDigit80nah idiot iOS apps are larger in size compared to android apps
@@Autonomous_17he’s talking about rom
@@Autonomous_17 i'm constantly pushing against my ram on my 16gb mac, next one will be 48 or 64GB probably lol
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
Had my 6 for 9 years and never bent, maybe it was a lucky one?
Hilarious still, my little sister ingested her iPhone directly into her ass. No matter how many times I told her it's not an enema, we'd catch her in the tub covered in her own poop.
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.
Sometimes apple removes stuff so they have room to add new items or to safe space or money lol. I didn’t know but newer phones are becoming less packaged with important items like a adapter. 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
I had an iPhone 6 Plus as a work phone from 2016 to 2021, it was hammered all day long in field service using specific apps, calls, texts, emails and Teams - it became horrendously slow and thankfully I got a 2nd hand 6S Plus as a replacement in 2021 after I dropped it...The 6S was just about usable by the time I retired from service in Feb '22 but it really struggled with Teams.
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.
after you replaced the battery how much screen on time can you get out of it
@@bernardo_quartz2 minutes
@bernardo_quartz I have 6s with ios 15 and good battery health honestly the battery life is shit, updating really affected it
@bernardo_quartz I have 6s with ios 15 and good battery health honestly the battery life is shit, updating really affected it
can the iphone 6 still run whatsapp?
I remember when I used to use one of these. I love how small it is and that's why I love the size of the iPhone 13 mini or the iPhone 8 which I mained. My friend still uses it and it seems to holdup.
You can always get the se. I can’t do small phones lol
Seeing him update the phone hurt me a little bit😭😭 Very nice video, thank you Nathan
Same, I was like but the JAILBREAK COMPATIBILITY!!!
It's aged so well considering anything below A5 chip only lasted like 4 years
64 bit cpu magic 🤓 👌🏻 (Apple A7 and later)iPhone 6 has Apple A8
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!
I got a "grade a" iPhone 6 two weeks ago from a friend. He thank goodness remembered the password (as opposed to the one of the ipad 3 he gave me, so sad) and I reset it. It's impressive how well that oldie still works.
The fact that he updated that rare iPhone 6 on iOS 10 to iOS 12 😭😭😭
iPhone 6 on iOS 10 is pretty much rare and you just updated it, LOL. Anyways, great video as always!
that was PAINFUL to watch, haha.
@@czLochy indeed, it hurt me to the soul. bro ruined a collectible.
It didn't even cross my mind. Very few apps would've been usable in iOS 10, but I guess it would've been more collectable 😅
Watching you update it was so painful@@psivewri
@@psivewri Yeah, Jailbreaking would've been necessary but I think CZcams, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram and other online services would still work that way. Even Twitter! You could've had both advantages. Next time I guess... 😞
This sponsor aged poorly 😂😂😂
😂
Haha
I still have my iPhone 6 from July 2017. Works awesome.
I’m an old schooler and I’m not a power user. I’m still using the iphone se 1st gen even though I have something much recent. I love its small size which is very practical for me. It’s sad that they don’t make anymore a smartphone of this size.
There are SE3 and 13 mini from more or less recent ones. If you like the size of your phone, those are good upgrade choices.
My daily runner is still an iPhone-7 plus that I’ve had from new. It’s had a new battery this year, and still runs all my apps perfectly. No plans to part with any hard earned cash to replace it anytime soon 😊
That was a rare version of ios. It would’ve been good for a collector
And he just upgraded it, what a waste :c
You know I am working on a downgrade, with other devs, tethered though, such a shame.
I hope downgrade for iphone 6 will be available soon, i want ios 8 so badly x)@@levonandonian7613
In hindsight I should've not updated it. However it would've had even less app support in iOS 10.
apps existed before ios 10 too, you know x)
@@psivewri
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.
Yh it is, but if your gonna be using it for banking, putting some personal details you rather not use it since it doesn’t receive any updates anymore, it’s easily hackable. Using it for Music, videos, calling should be ok tho but it’s no longer secure
Battery holds? Mines battery does not hold... and I checked the battery status and it's at an 85% operable.
I have 12pro but i have and my old phone iphone 6 pinky gold i buy it in 2015 500€ and now i send this message with my old iphone 6😅 its impressive and so strong phone.
I used a 32GB iPhone 6S Plus up until earlier this year. It served me very well ever since high school, definitely a great phone.
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.
A 2015 phone isn't old, but technically software wise it's obsolete
@@tomjardine100 in tech terms a phone from 2015 is ancient lol. There are no other phones from that year that are still usable reliably today.
@@alolanstarboy I phone XR from 2018, seems to work great but still no doubt classed as old
My J7 Prime from 2016 with laat update of Android pie (3gb ram/32gb rom) still working fine as I play mobile legends high frame rate and graphics smoothly and gta san andreas (im just a casual gamer) and just use it for fb, instagram, and youtube. And it's working very fine without lags. Tho battery maybe bad since got this phone since it release in 2016.
Stepping up to the 7 is even better, you don’t get a headphone jack but you get stereo speakers, 1080p video recording on front cam, upgraded base storage to 32GB, IP67 protection, and higher brightness over the 6S
I had iPhone 6 16GB until 2020 with iCloud storage and it’s biggest advantage was that a local backup on iTunes was done in 1 minute ;)
i have used my iPhone 6s since 2018 to now to this day still and havent changed, its so beastly, the iphone 6s model includes the pink color on the back, but besides that it had many updates, and las like 32 GB or storage, still works beastly and quite smooth, cuz of this, if i ever got a different phone, i wouldnt want it to be looking exactly liek the iphone 6s like my one, then it will look nice!
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.
I still use my 6S as a secondary phone and it is completely uncompromised. I picked it up in 2016 and it runs all the latest apps. I use it to play Among Us & stream videos from CZcams, Disney+ and Netflix along with web-browsing, Skype & FaceTime. All I’ve had to do is replace the battery a few times.
I am still currently using an IPhone 6 and its not going too well... its extremely slow and cant run any apps, but one unusual thing about it is my battery life. My battery life seems to be pretty good lasting me an entire day if used properly. From personal experience I'd say im due for an upgrade but happy to stay with this phone for a little longer.
Did instagram dms stopped for u?
@@nadinehella6709 my phone cant even run instagram straight up
The iPhone 6 was my first real Phone, once it stopped getting new IOS version updates I got an iPhone 8. Seeing as that got the axe recently, I'm gonna get an upgrade to the iPhone 11 soon. I'm not the kinda guy to really be eyes on with the newest of the new, I really just want something that works and is supported for a lil' while 😅
you could just go with iphone 13 now
Went from the 8 to the 11 recently and I’m very happy with it.
i phone 11 is quite old now.
@@tomjardine100Yh but it has about 2-3 years of support left, most likely
I recommend getting the 12 or 13 instead, if you can. The 11 is nearing the end of support. Plus, the 12 and 13 have 5G support.
Absolutely love your videos. A very off-topic quest, may I know which watch are you wearing haha?
Man the iPhone 6 was the best iPhone I ever handled imo not the 6s but the original release skinnier one with space gray. Something about that phones simplicity was perfect for me and the quick tap to unlock made it such a smooth device to use as a daily.
So nostalgic that was my first iPhone back in 6th Grade. Im surprised that it still runs as it first came out the box besides the degraded battery :(
I used an iPhone 6s 32GB from mid 2019 to this summer. It was a decent phone and it still works, only reason why I upgraded to an iPhone 13 mini 256GB was because of storage and software support. Otherwise I’ll still be daily driving it today.
İm using 6s rn and ım gonna buy poco f5 soon i love 6s but it overheats a lot when i play games
I have a 7 and it's still perfectly functional for daily tasks but the battery life is just so poor, survives only like 3 hours of usage.
I remember on the news the day that the iPhone 6 came out, there was a guy at the Apple Store here in Adelaide that dropped his brand new iPhone 6 out of the box. Being as you’re also from Adelaide, you probably remember that too 😂
Pretty sure I saw that on the news!
@@psivewriyeah, did you get to keep that 15 Pro as part of the sponsorship?
I´m glad to see not only android phones from 2014 struggle greatly these days.
But running android 13 on a HTC One M8 definitely is fun
I remember when I used this... ten minutes ago! I'm still using an iPhone 6 that I inherited from my daughter about 8 years ago, LOL! I changed the battery once - cost about 60 bucks, and it's due for a new change, it just gets old. Every few months I download my pictures to my desktop, that's the biggest storage issue.
Lately, though, I'm getting locked out of many app updates (apple doesn't let you upgrade past IOS 12), and it hurst a little not being able to open youtube, to be honest. (I don't care about twitter or FB) Great for productivity though! =) I just can't get myself to pay for a phone more than what I paid for a gaming desktop. Thanks for the video!
I am still on iPhone X purchased back in 2017, still running smooth and amazing.
My mother and father in law are still using a base iPhone 6 to this day as a daily driver. I mean, calls work, WhatsApp works, safari is slow but doable, they are not really power user as you can imagine. No complaints a part from the “small screen”, to them hard to read even on big characters without glasses.
Me who is using a iphone 6 plus in 2024
Bro, upgrade it or smth 💀
Great work great man ❤
I got my grandma's old 6 plus 128gb this year when she upgraded to a 14 pro max. Phone is in mint condition with a slight bend. I remember unboxing it in early 2015. The UI feels OK, screen recordings fail a lot, but apps like Telegram run horrible, it's almost unusable, the A8 is still kinda OK, but it's the 1gb of ram that kills the phone. I'm pretty sure the S5 aged better with a custom rom
Telegram runs fine on mine
@@Elroy03 Weird, i think it might be my battery, the phone doesn't even warm up unlike my 6S that is an induction cooker
as a bakcup / secondary phone, i still have an iPhone 6 Plus (64GB) which I purchased as a "Used phone" back in 2016.. and until now it is still usable. and the battery was never been replaced since it was purchased by the first owner back in it's release date.
I recently bought a restored 6S with a new battery with the intention to use as my daily device. I used it for a day and then went back to my modern android phone. It was simply too slow and painful to use. It also got super hot and drained battery very quickly when I was actively using it.
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 agree.
iPhones before iPhone 7 doesn’t capture in P3 Wide Color. That might be the cause otherwise the camera in daylight is still pretty good
It's got an 8 megapixel iPhone 5S camera. 8 is just a 5s with a screen that has a resolution that is too high for it's specs
You are right about the colors though, you just have to turn off every settings on the new phones, and 15 does not even allow that. My 6S did better with exposure.
Yo I didn't realise your a fan of Supercars! Cannot wait for the great race this week!
The form factor is elegant. I have my 6s with OS 14.5 and new battery. So slim and light.
I love this video so much❤❤
I just had to put a new battery in my SE2. The battery life with the ifixit battery is a lot better. I’m very happy with it.
Had one in early 2015. It was so smooth on its original iOS 8.
Out of all the iPhone's i've ever had, (6 Plus, X, 11 Pro Max, and now my 14 Pro,) the 6 Plus had to have been my favorite iphone i've ever had. It was so simple, and loved it.
i still using my iphone 6 128gb in 2023 and i think i would be still using it for couple of years more i love it haha
Awesome review!! 🎉😃✋⭐
my cousin still uses this phone , baffles me that she’s able to do pretty much anything (at face value) that an older iphone can, not including hardware and quality ect
Miss this phone era. 6 edge was so beautiful too, Galaxy Note.
I still use my 6s and it's the only phone I've used since I purchased it in August 2017. I chose it over the iPhone 8 because it still had an auxiliary port. It's still a reliable great phone. But I think I will soon purchase an iPhone SE 3rd gen because my speaker phone is not usable, battery is not great... and I just got it replaced for the 2nd time in March. Speaker isn't good anymore, and some apps are slow. But it's still usable! It's pretty amazing to me.
I used one for a month last year while on vacation in Cuba because I didn't want to bring my 12 and it's still very usable
Interesting you mention the McDonalds app performance - I also experienced the same poor performance on an iPhone 6S. And in the Monopoly section, the battery drains hard!
My first iPhone was the 6+ and I loved it. Now I am on the 15 Pro Max :3
It's mildly annoying that you updated from iOS 10 to ios 12 which is kind of sad
The possibility of a jailbreak… GONE. I don’t think you can jailbreak iOS 12.5.7.
@@SA2180yes you can
What a waste
@SA2180 you can, but it takes a lot of patience with trial and error
iOS 10 wasn’t its native iOS anyways 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ iOS 12 at least made the phone significantly faster.
I’m using a 6s+ and it’s lovely my dad had it since release date, but then when the x came out he got a X, gave the 6 to my sis then my sis got a XR and gave it to me, lovin the 6s
I got my 6+ as a hand me down from my grandma. Still works and I use it to pair a Series 0 Apple Watch.
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.
I was still using the i phone 6 as recently as January this year. The battery was rubbish, even with a replacement one. The charging was fast though. Finally replaced it with the 14 pro max which was a huge upgrade
Miss those days ❤️
The iphone 6s is my favourite phone. It was my first phone, second-hand from my Dad. Now I have a galaxy s6 edge plus. I'm sticking with the classics
0:07 "If you had one of these, you were pretty cool"
I did have one of these and I clearly remember people thinking mine was fake because I was using iOS 9's lower power mode and my battery symbol was orange. This was still new so it wasn't a known thing that an orange icon meant lower power mode back then HAHA
I have an iPhone 6 Plus with 128gb rn, life feels amazing with this phone
I used a hand me down Iphone 6 from around 2017-2020. The phone did everything it needed to flawlessly and i only considered replacing it because of the battery was having problems. The final straw was when I was sitting on the toilet and I accidentally dropped it on the floor face down, needless to say the screen was completely obliterated
I can literally imagine how it would look after the display being shattered into crumbs because clearly a friend I know carries one with them despite the damage.
Iphone 6 camera is so vintage I love itt
My dad is still using an iphone 6 to this day!
Hey, love this video and after watching it completely I think I would love to see how iPhone 8 plus performs in 2023
I want to buy it for my grandmother who needs a touch ID and a big screen.
Looking forward to see the video on 8+
A iPhone 8 Plus still holds up good I jus got mines yesterday I had to get a new phone cause of my battery not good on my iPhone 8
I paid 150 for a iPhone 8 Plus(2023) & 180 for a iPhone 8 (2022)
A few years back I got a new-old-stock Moto G5, which is a budget Android phone from 2017.
The update server was down, while I planned on loading on LineageOS I've been using it's factory Android 7 ROM.
I like it's older design, which somewhat resembles the iPhone 6 with a similarly placed fingerprint reader, but has the old arced top and bottom and fake chrome bezel.
While it's slow, I've been daily driving it since and got some good usability out of it by changing out most of the Google apps for lighter alternatives.
I'm waiting for new phones with replaceable batteries before I replace it, while I have a backup phone running Android 11, I prefer this old brick.
The older interface is nice to use and it's the first phone I've had that has been fully reliable and hasn't started lagging more over time.
@Send.an.sms.to.claim... So do I! The CZcams report scam button!
First apple phone i got is the se 3 as i didnt have the money to get anything better. Coming off of a galaxy a34 i would say this phone is better. It is smaller than what im used to, but i have gotten used to it and honestly it a lot easier for one hand usage so i like it quite a bit.
I Had Mine Since 2014. I Still Have It With Me, But I Now Use 11 Pro Max Which I Got For My B-Day Back In 2019 BC Apparently My Older Sis Told Me I Needed An Upgrade, Lol. Crazy How I Only Had 2 Phones, The 6 & The 11 Pro Max.
Uhh i still use it 💀💀
how is the battery life??
My grandma still uses her iPhone 6. I googled some things on it for her and it was weird how random apps and websites don’t work but otherwise the phone functioned perfectly since she didn’t need it for much more than a flip phone that sometimes took photos
my iPhone 6 still working its my only phone i got a new battery in May when i was in the Philippines i got there every year mine is gold same as the second one you got i have a protective case on mine its leather charging only every 2 days its out a 50 percent dont let lower than that hey your girlfriend is very cute you lucky man !!
Still daily driving one of these. Battery life ain't great, but I just use it for communication and web browsing anyway. All my pockets must be small since I rarely feel like I've forgotten it.
I still use the iPhone 6s 50GB, apart from battery life and cellular service reception issues in certain area. It last iPhone with the headphone jack and the screen is not glued
I still have mine and it still works good and I use it sometimes 😊
I tried using my 6S. It works and functions well, but lack a signal once in a while.
I still have my iPhone 6 and 5s in good working condition. They're honestly both great phones.
I've used the 6 plus last year til i got my phone. still capable on things like TikTok, Facebook Messenger and Instagram, also still have good camera compared to the modern entry level though can't survive Call of Duty Mobile. It made me love iOS but still rocking Android to this day, tho i have an iPhone 6s as my backup phone. The iOS 12 bottleneck is bad tho, i think it can still survive modern apps.
Im on a 6S and feel absolutely no need to upgrade.
I dont feel like I need it to do things it cant, so I will upgrade when that happens, plus
I like having a home button and a headphone jack in a reasonably sized smartphone
nice review brooo :)
I use iphone se2 just awesome!!
I just ordered an iPhone 13 Mini to replace my iPhone 6 16GB. 😀
I don't think I will ever have a cheaper phone than the iPhone 6. I bought it used in 2017 for 130€ and replaced the battery for 30€ or so in 2019.
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.
Also 6 isn’t secure anymore you did the right thing, 6 can be easily hackable
@@allaboutwwe9269 There is no security, but he has become a turtle
you can always just buy few years down the road
As a third world country enthusiast, you would be surprised at how many people are still using the 4S, 5S, 6, 6S..
I am privileged enough to buy a 3rd gen SE, because that is the maximum that an average person can afford.
Orange hair front row definitely did her thing 🥰🥰
my mom still uses one😅, bought brand new in 2019, the 32gb one. whatsapp is no longer updated, so is netflix and other apps
Did you try using DFU mode? Sometimes recovery mode just doesn't work.
No! Why did you update from ios 10, your phone was rare and one of a kind, you know devs are working there butts of to try to get a tetherd downgrade working to no avail, such a shame.
Thank you SO, SO MUCH for this video! Your timing is absolutely UNCANNY! I literally just bought an iPhone 6 Plus this morning and was very curious if I'd be able to use the older apps with it, and I'm thrilled to see McDonald's App, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Spotify on your device! I know that I'm not getting iPhone 13-15 specs, but it was $40 and that was hard to pass up!

kinda weird to think back in 2014 i bought a original iphone for $60 and now today these are worth that much felt like yesterday i bought that damn thing still have it too
My brother had this one forever
Omg
I still use an iphone 8. It got upgrades until now. Great phone.
Same here, I have a 8 Plus since 2019 💪🏻😎🔝
We have a 6 plus and I recently played around with it and it has 64 gb of storage. It’s sorta usable in 2023 but the battery is bad so have to keep it plugged in.
Now that was indeed a retro flashback!
I use a 6plus for stuff (not for calls) and it still works really well even at 88% battery health
man i used to have one of these phone it was great but it in a really bad condition, the headphone jack has been blocked probably because at the time my grandma use it and block it, the screen is bearly holding on the phone, the battery life is not great and it was full of bloat but when i received the phone cuz my grandma had a new phone i clean it and reinstalled ios 12 to it to make it just a little bit smoother (still i can’t fix the headphone jack since it been covered by a whole rock or some kind of jewelry) but other than that it actually still useable and work great, i even managed to jailbreaking it for some odd reason. 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)
I bought iPhone 6 when it came out and used it all way until 2019 and then upgraded to iPhone 11 pro max, which I now plan to use one more year.
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
Battery was horrible on the 6 but, always was reliable
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.
@@riley1733 Mine could last maybe a day, with incredibly light usage.
@tomjardine100 Yeah, the batteries on those phone's aren't good. Even with incredibly light usage, mine wouldn't have lasted a day. Came to a point where I'd mostly have the phone plugged in when I was using it. I would have the charger for the phone with me anywhere I went. I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S7 afterwards and that phone had much better battery life.
@@riley1733 I have the 14 pro max now, and what a difference. It lasts easily a full day. I charged it up to 100% at 10 am and by 10pm it only dropped to 75%
Used to have an iPhone 6s Plus until i upgraded to an iPhone 12 a week ago, my iPhone 6 still is functional and is still working, runs iOS 15.1 or something
System 15 does not show the battery percentage. Update numbers to 16 + up to 17. Its performance will not decrease at all, but will improve.
