7 Years of iPhone 6S - The Longest Supported Smartphone

With iOS 15 and the continued support of the iPhone 6S, it will officially be the most supported phone of all time- from late 2015 with iOS 9 to (at least) late 2022 with iOS 15 making a full 7 years.

It's no coincidence that "6S" sounds like "success"

[jamesambrocio]

My mom still uses my 6s and she's on level 1000+ on Candy Crush now.

Trust me, the 6S is the best thing my parents have ever purchased for me. They haven’t had to pay a single dollar on new phones for me in 5 years…

[gabeishere]

My dad still uses the 6S he bought in 2015. He just recently changed the battery and works really well.

I’m gonna remember the iPhone 6S and SE as one of the last iPhones with a headphone jack to support iOS 15

[chainsawd_]

Don't forget the iPad Air 2. It got 8 years of support (From iOS 8 to iPad OS 15)

The 6s released when I was in 4th grade, now Im in 10th and its still getting updates. Its crazy not gonna lie.

[pERF]

Hearing this about my deadbeat almost broken 6s makes me feel so good

[heresbutler]

The 6s has probably had support longer than some children

[celestemangonya]

Using iOS 15 on my SE, I can see why Apple still supports it. It’s not really any slower than iOS 14 was.

[PeptoBismolPone]

this is why i love the iPhone 6s, 6s Plus and SE 1st Gen so much they amaze me with still having a headphone jack and still getting software support gotta love the power of the A9 chipset!

[Non-ya-business]

I’m still using my 6s. I love it!
I was pissed that they removed the headphone jack, so I didn’t buy a new one out of protest.

Paying off!

The iPhone 6S is honestly the proper successor to the 5S. The 5S lasted a long time, and now the 6S has taken its place and I really appreciate just how reliable the iPhone 6S has become.

[dominikrausch]

Me watching this on my SE with 80 minutes of battery time like "I'm gonna get a new battery"

[Dingusdoofus]

Not counting iPhone 13, 19 out of the 29 total iPhone models can run iOS 15. If you include iPhone 13, then over 2/3 of all iPhone models can run the latest software. This is beyond impressive.

I still use the iPhone 6s, not willingly, but out of necessity. I bought this phone in 2016 I think Around 2018, I wanted to upgrade, but I'm broke. Past 5 years have been absolutely horrible, I hope to not be broke soon. But even when I don't use the iPhone 6s anymore, i'll still be grateful for this phone. It has always kept up, always updated to the latest OS, the apps have worked fine for the most part. Things are frustrating now, some apps take a long time to load, but eventually, they load and work. If I take a video on an iphone 6s and share it, it doesn't look horrible and old, it looks fine. Only thing that sucks is the battery life, but I generally keep a power bank with me in case I need it.

Thank You Apple for making this product, it's the only thing that didn't make me feel left behind in my struggles

[lazrleaf]

Damn the lighting and shots are phenomenal

[yavorkaloyanov]

Got a brand new battery for my 6s yesterday and I'm gonna be happily using it for some time again.. Brilliant, brilliant piece of tech, Love it!

[RalfEngelmann]

Bought a fully refurbished 6s Plus about three years ago and I'm still happy with it. It runs with iOS 14.7.1. I'm surpised how smooth it runs despite of the "old" hardware.
