If the next iPhone has no fingerprint reader or headphone jack, should I stick with the 6S?

You've answered your own question. Don't update to iOS 11 if you're worried, wait to see what others with older 6s' say.

Thanks. But do you think it will be safe to be on an older iOS?

Like what about using banking apps and stuff?

If the next iPhone does not have a fingerprint reader and no headphone jack should I keep the 6S?

Why in the heck are you asking us this question? Are you in need of some handholding

Apps aren't suddenly going to stop working because you don't update to the latest iOS.

You have obviously never seen one of the Ops threads previously.

Right but would it be safe? Often times I see new iOS talk about security updates

Will be keeping my 6S Plus, i need to be able to charge from a pack and still listen to music getting rid of headphone jack was just daft they could have at least put 2 lightening connectors on the 7 one for charging and one for attaching the dongle DAC/headphone jack. The headphone jack was removed for slimming purposes but the tight bastards couldn't give us a second port.

I think you should wait till the new phones arrive and THEN make that determination.

Let see if you can resist.

I have the iPhone 7 the headphone jack being gone is a pain in the ass sometimes. I'm most likely gonna get the galaxy s8.

I still do miss the headphone jack. However I've got a spare 6s hanging around. So I'm lucky there.

I have no idea how well any alternatives to the fingerprint reader will turn out. I'm definitely not going to be an early adopter here.

I've restated the OP's question: I'm happy with my current product. Should I get the next product if it removes 2 features I really like?

There will always be security updates.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

If you are big on keeping your phone safe...whatever that means...then you must upgrade. Whether that means your phone becomes slower as well...who can say?

iOS 11 shouldnt slow the phone down. But at some point in the future, a future update probably will.

People like you crack me up.
