My 4 is too old to even be on the poll... It still holds up as a pretty good iPod, but I need to get around to fixing the home button.
 
Still use a 6s plus, kickass phone, my battery health is at 99% on the original battery. I use my old iPhone 5 for the gym with my Apple Music, it still runs great. No complaints.

Thinking about getting an XS max this fall when the new ones come out and give my 6s plus to my daughter. Haven’t decided yet. Anyone else happy with their xS max?

I absolutely love my Xs Max abs could easily see using it until it breaks.

I want to keep it a minimum of 3 years.

Good to hear. No LTE or wifi issues? I’ve read about this being an issue, but I am aware the small % this may represent.

One of the guys at work is still using a 4S as his primary phone (although I'm on an 8 and see no reason to change).

my parent still using 4s and i really mistake on updating ios 11 on 5s.. If i knew it will be slow down and battery consumption a lot.. Using samsung a20 as daily driver and got ipad 2019 mini as secondary apple device. To be truth i like 5s and don't like big phone which now pollute all android devices. Maybe in a year i will buy iphone 8 if ios don't changed much. I need smaller phone. I got samsung tab,ipad mini for semi large viewing allready.

I've not had any, and can't really discern any difference from a Qualcomm modem (not to say Qualcomm isn't preferred).

I have dual sim activated, and the network will rest itself occasionally but that's to be expected with any burgeoning tech.

MY FAVORITE iPhone EVER!!!

This is why I use the Otterbox Defender.
 
Yes, the 6 is still working fine and my father is very happy with the 6 Plus I passed to him.

I recently picked up a used SE to put permanently in my car so it acts as a dedicated CarPlay device and I must say that I’m surprise how fast a SE runs these days. I would not hesitate to recommend a SE if anyone is looking for a very capable phone who does not mind a smaller size.
 
Me, my wife, and in-laws all have the 6. In most cases happy enough with them. But we'll upgrade with ios13 next month.
 
I paid $299 for the iPhone 6 64GB on launch day and loved it when it went of contract. I've been on AT&T prepaid ever since and may upgrade through Spectrum Mobile when it's released. I simply don't think an iPhone should go from $299 to $1K in a matter of five years, cost of living gone up that much?
 
I miss my iPhone 6. I liked it more than my iPhone 8, mostly for being lighter and having the physical home button.

Alas, it was absolutely slow as molasses -- couldn't even type letters in Messages without lagging, following a forced+permanent iOS update.

Didn't know what else to do but trade it since it was unusable. Had I known then that the battery could be a cause (which I was assured it wasn't), I would never have "upgraded". Lightweight, great form factor.. a real gem.

Note, that's $299 + subsidy so true cost of the device was $749 which is exactly what the XR 64GB sells for.
 
I'm currently on a 6S. Serves me fine with my light usage. Don't see the need to upgrade any time soon, and I am one of the few who loves the 6/6S design. The only thing I really care about on a phone is it be reliable. 6S seems to be the best since 3G days in terms of pure functional use.
 
I used to have a 6 plus but that got too slow for my needs and had a cracked screen so I upgraded to the 7 plus. The 6 was a great device though and it's sad to see it get its last ever software update.
 
Rocking iPhone 7. Phone is good except the battery life. But I’m a lite user and it gets me through whole day at 10-20% battery remaining at the end.

Not going to upgrade until the phone gives a ghost. New phone’s are ridiculously expensive and not worth in my opinion.

iPhone 7 on sale here now - considering going from SE to 7. I think 7 is one of the best designs due to thinness, form-factor and the black looks very clean.

Exactly. I got the 6 on launch as well, but bought it outright for $749. The Xr is too big for me... more of a budget Xs Plus. I’d rather get a refurb Xs once the 11 comes out
 
I have an SE (6S but smaller). Plan to keep it until it becomes unusable pretty much for the future.

Not a fan of huge phones but sadly that’s the way everyone’s going to these days for some reason. Being small isn’t entirely helpful at times (even if it’s cute).
 
My wife is using a 6, but the front screen is loose and also has a crack.

I probably will give her my X this year and I’ll upgrade.
 
Still using the iPhone 6s Plus I've had since 2015. Like many others I took advantage of the $30 battery replacement last year so battery life is not an issue.

The current models are overpriced IMHO. Most people will be fine with older models, and Apple allows them to run the newest software (unlike Android).

12.3 works fine here, anything above on my SE seems to cause heat issues. However it’s nice they try to provide at least some kind of support for older devices instead of throwing them out asap...
