iPhone 6(S)/Plus How many of you guys are still rocking on iPhone 6

iPhone 7 has few issues though, like no service issue and audio chip issue.

I read about more about iphone 7 issues and perhaps the SE is still the way forward. The standard iPhone 11 will probably be the best choice for a smaller iphone with up-to-date specs, but at what price? I got my mint SE for 150$. The 11 will cost nearly 10 times that?

Was using an iPhone 6 until March this year. It served me well for 4.5 years, the longest I’ve ever gone with any iPhone. Such a great phone for its time.

It was replaced by an iPhone X.

The X is a revolution. In many ways, it actually reminds me of my first iPhone. Such a technological breakthrough. I love Face ID, the stainless steel design and the full-size OLED display.

I could never go back.

Still using 6s bought on a launch day. Despite having only 16GB in storage and battery being very bad, It does whatever I need and I love using it. Unbreakable phone!

I'm a phone nerd and I have had way too many (never a 6s though). Stories like this are exactly why I always recommend iPhone to norms. You just have the best shot at longevity with iPhone.

I have the 6s plus since day launch and still running IOS 10.3.3
it's working fine and afraid if I update the IOS the battery won't last.
I'm hoping to have this phone for another year.
If new phones were affordable I would buy a new one but too much money if my current one still doing ok

Launch day 6 here. Had the battery swapped at Apple in October 2018. The replacement is still at 100% capacity. I'm thinking that i'll upgrade this year as the 6 won't get iOS 13. Which one I'll upgrade to however I'll decide after the announcement

My wife is using 6 and she is extremely happy with it

If the update “killed” the battery, it would only be doing that because your battery is most likely shot. Ever had any unexpected shutdowns?

6s+ right up until today. Black screen, replaced with white (kept old black fingerprint so it's panda'd), space silver back, new battery. Got the XR today, gave the 6s+ to my kid.

Used to have an iPhone 6, which I bought a 64 GB model for $299 under contract before AT&T ended contracts and my phone had a grandfathered unlimited plan. I sold it for $140 last year since the battery is starting to go and I bought a used unlocked iPhone 8 64GB with a Qualcomm modem. The iPhone 8 is still plenty fast and the iPhone X and newer phones are way too expensive and iPhone XR is inferior. I don't see myself upgrading anytime soon, maybe until 2022.

Mobile wise, my iPad Pro 9.7 and newly bought iPad Pro 11 get more use than the iPhone 8 these days and I feel that the iPads give better value in running productivity and iOS apps than the iPhones which cost a lot to get storage above 64GB. Getting higher capacity iPads are cheaper than iPhones. I tried Face ID on the iPad Pro 11 and it's convenient, but I can't justify spending more than $1000+ to upgrade from an iPhone 8, while it still cover my needs.
