How much is an iPhone 6S? Spending that much money on a 2+ year old phone sounds like a bad move to me. There are plenty of new phones in that price range I'd recommend over a 2 year old iPhone.
Agreed with you. iPhone 6 is good, but too old. May be can try the iPhone 6s on eBay or aliexpress.

I'm glad that you choose iPhone 6s 16GB.
If you pay attention on space, use iCloud and hold only most important stuff it's enough.
I told you for longer travels and similar things music or files could be stored on San Disk iXpand Flash Drive,
new version. It's little more expensive and I think they should sell 256GB for price of 128GB biggest model but that's always extra space for Apple device.
It's almost not visible behind iPhone or iPad.

I would never buy iPhone over Ebay or Aliexperess as someone advice, it's not secure, if someone want to sell something broken, fake or similar he will do that there.

What color you choose? iPhone 6s is similar hardware as SE only better secondary camera, screen, 3D touch.
You couldn't choose better, people in Europe pay even 700 euro for Samsung S7
I don't know how they could pay such money for Samsung. Not even 500 euro.

It is actually used, warranty left till Feb 2017. Space gray. He didn't touch the charger and headphones though.

Edit: I chose 6s over SE cuz of some reasons. First one is the screen size, second is 3D Touch. I know that I'll use 3D Touch, cuz I am used to these kinds of shortcuts with my Note Edge. Also, it can read pressure sensitivity on a drawing app, I'll do quick sketches outside with my phone. I am used to drawing on small screens.

OK, only pay attention that phone is in good condition. And prepare Tempered Glass if owners didn't use, but I think now mostly people use Glass protection.
That's most important, if he worked few months without problem 99% will work long time.
Space Grey and Silvers are obviously nicest colors because we are males, but it's obvious that someone really smart chose colors for phones. If Apple launch White iPhone 7 I think that would be enough and they should stay with his colors. Samsung colors are terrible... special models with little holes on back side, terrible.
6s is great for first iPhone, people complain about antenna lines but from my perspective is not bad at all.

This is your new phone... it's beautifull.

Last minute decision, I actually decided to not buy an iPhone soon. I would've gave all my money for it, even borrowed some from my cousin. I decided not to do that cuz I can save up money to get an iPhone 7 later. My Note Edge is really great anyways, all I wanted was an iPhone because I use Mac and iPad. Now in the coming months, I can buy a brand new iPhone 7, and not worry about storage at all. But thanks for replying me and giving me advices, they would've helped me if I bought it. Now I'm gonna wait for my Pokemon Sun game to arrive that I bought instead of the phone. :3
 
Fine... As you wish. iPhone 7 will replace iPhone 6s but not so fast...
Several months after launching iPhone 7s. 570 is expensive for used phone but if he is in good condition why not.
Problem is because carriers 100% in all countries for same money offer iPhone 7 on delayed payement, 12 or even 24 months. 560e is iPhone 7 32GB in my country on contract. Bill for talking is arround 20 euro + arround 20 rate for phone. Or even less I think, together arround 35 euro monthly, something like that. Similar offers are available in all countries or even better.
I didn't know that they will get iPhone 7 so fast, maybe I would decide to wait and bought him.
But that would be double more than my iPhone SE.

Why not get a oneplus 3t. I know you are interested in getting a IOS device but it seems waste to spend that much money on a phone that has touch issues and 1GB RAM.

or Spend the money and get 6s atleast as said before. There is no point in buying a 6 at this time.

I already have a fully functioning Android phone, why buy second one? Android doesn't appeal me anymore. And if you've read the comments, you would've seen that I was going to get a 6s after taking others suggestions. But now, I am going to save up money and get a 7.

I changed my mind again, I am getting the 6s 16gb tomorrow. I am getting it for 570, but the non used is 780 dollars. For 200 dollars less, it is a good deal. He says it looks like new, also charger used just once and headphones untouched, and he is giving a free Apple leather case with it. I am so excited for my purchase :D
 
You will not wrong if you pay him 570.
It's not cheap, but depend where you live prices are difference.
That's great phone, with 3D Touch, 2nd generation of Touch ID, great CPU A9 for new apps in features, camera is OK for some special moments if you use that, he is thin, size is good, it's not too big, you can put him in pockets.
When you type message you will turn him horizontal anyway and type with two fingers, I do that with my SE.
I know you are excited, you probably looked video clips about iPhone 6s and couldn't resist.
When iPhone 7s show up 7 will gone and iPhone 6s and 7s will sell together and new version of SE or SE 2016.

In my country best offers for new iPhone are...

iPhone 6s 16GB - 520 EURO Blackmarket
iPhone 6s 32GB - 550 EURO Blackmarket
iPhone 7 32GB - 550 EURO Carrier 24 months payement with contract and new SIM Number

But I really scare to buy from blackmarket but some sellers usually arrive at your home, open, install your SIM card, connect to internet to show that device is original.
I would like to have iPhone 7 32 GB Matte Black or Silver. But not to sell my iPhone SE.
I would give him, I mean borrow to my sister. She have Samsung but constantly look my iPhone and I know she like him more even if she not say.

If you have the chance, try eBay. You can find some newer phones with AppleCare+ warranty still valid because people are desperate to unload their slightly older devices to pay for iPhone 7 units.

Other than that, the iPhone 6 is still a perfectly fine daily driver phone. It should see software updates for a few more years, since the iPhone 5 also received iOS 10 support. The iPhone 6 with iOS 10 is fine, but you do risk the possibility of software slowing down the hardware if you need to stay on the bleeding edge of software.
do not try ebay! swappa.com or gazelle.com are way more reliable and trustworthy

I always typed in portrait mode, even on 5s. I am reall excited yeah, can't wait to sync it with my Mac and iPad and enjoy all the convenicences like eaaily connecting Mac to iPhone hotspot, receiving phone calls on my Mac etc.
 
You are obvious fan of Apple stuff. Not only iPhones. And I like how Apple design his products.
First association when someone tell me Apple on mind is word Clean. Everything is somehow white, shine, clean,...
But I must say that for fun I like more PC... I didn't had more chance to meet with Apple computers on longer.

But cell phones where games, benchmarking, upgrading hardware and such things are not usual it's better iPhone.
Same as I would not go to research Ocean or Geographic with PC, I would use Apple Mac for jobs or office.
Apple is great for parents who think that kids still don't need to play games before 15 years example but want to allow them some limited internet and to learn with computer. Mac is ideal for them even if people play games on Mac, but it's not same.
But PC if for fun, everything on table, open, cables all arround, volt meters and similar stuff, performance insane, etc...
Share with us your experience with iPhone.
But if you have other Apple products than you probably know that he worth money you pay.
I use often StopWatch on iPhone when I prepare some food or similar things to check how long more,
and now everything is perfect.

Yeah I loove Apple. I am also thinking to buy Apple Watch when I save enough money for it. I love their cohesive and continuous experience. My iPhone is doing great! I love the feel of it, size of it, and the performance of it. I can do just whatever I want to do at the moment in a breeze. I am really enjoying 3D Touch as well, I quickly got used to it. It kinda runs out of battery quickly, but it may be because I always leave data on. I love that I can see my BT headphone charge. I love my phone so much.
 
Edit: I am getting a 6s.

I am thinking to get an iPhone 6 64gb for $470, with full accessories, no warranty. I really can't go up from that price. Just to point it out, iPhone 7 sells at minimum $930 here, more expensive than an iPad Pro cuz of taxes. I want to use it for 2 years, and since I like to update to the latest iOS, will it be able to stay good for 2 years? Is it worthed? I wanted to get 6s but I can't really go up from that price, even a bit.
I have some really nice Android phones that do very very well, yet cost us$100 and up, for $200-400 you can get nice units and really nothing I can't do on one.

Apple Pay is the only think I've found my 6S+ us better at, and I use that once a week or less.

I had some reasons to get iPhone. I have Mac and iPad, transfering files between iOS devices is so fast and easy. Also I wanted a small and good looking device, there are not NEW flagship phones that have smaller than 5 inch screen. I don't think I'll be switching back to Android soon.
 
I've run into where it was enough, until it came time for a new iOS and had to have 3-4GB free to Dl and unpack/install. In such circumstances iTunes may help get around. 8-12GB used for system and bloat or preinstalled apps is common.

I'm glad you like new iPhone and I see you like Apple watches... They are great as well but like something different.
Like Brietling... Because watch need to be something special or I could look on iPhone. :)

I may buy AirPods before, cuz I liked them more, and I listen to music every day! It'll be convenient for me with the charging case, cuz my current Powerbeats 2 doesn't hold up with me through the day. I listen A LOT of music. Like, A LOT.
