It is a blast from the past and a reminder of simpler times when 16GB of storage felt like luxury

I’m 17 years old. And I love my iPhone 6 from when I was 8 years old. It still works great for me

As someone who daily drove a 32GB iPhone 6 from 2016 to 2021 (it came bundled with a Telstra mobile data plan from JB HiFi back in 2016); I honestly miss it for the simple function of the Touch ID to authorise things instead of double-tapping the power button and scanning my face with my 64GB XR (bought secondhand at Cash Converters in 2021) but otherwise I do NOT miss the panic attacks of if my phone is still in my pocket or not!

Never had a "bendgate" issue as I was careful enough to put the iPhone 6 in a protective case right away with a screen protector so it wouldn't bend or break in usage - also I kept it in my *side* pockets and mot my *back* pocket when I put it away. I'm surprised people didn't realise *sitting on your phone* might be a problem...

The iPhone 6 is definitely one of the most memorable iPhones out there to date. I have a 6+ as a backup and I've had no problems using it when I can't use my 13, the camera, while worse, is still manageable, the battery life is bad but I've replaced the battery in mine and carry a small battery pack for it. However something like an iPhone 7 or 8 would be more feasible and useful in 2023.

Seeing him update the phone hurt me a little bit😭😭 Very nice video, thank you Nathan

I had an iPhone 6 Plus as a work phone from 2016 to 2021, it was hammered all day long in field service using specific apps, calls, texts, emails and Teams - it became horrendously slow and thankfully I got a 2nd hand 6S Plus as a replacement in 2021 after I dropped it...The 6S was just about usable by the time I retired from service in Feb '22 but it really struggled with Teams.

iPhone 6 on iOS 10 is pretty much rare and you just updated it, LOL. Anyways, great video as always!

I remember when I used to use one of these. I love how small it is and that's why I love the size of the iPhone 13 mini or the iPhone 8 which I mained. My friend still uses it and it seems to holdup.

I got an iPhone 6s with 64GB for €25 (+5 shipping) second hand. It's cheaper than a new SD card of the same storage size but it came with a fully working unit of the best phone ever made. The 6s is an iPhone 6, but with 3 more iOS updates, 4K video, 3D touch and taptic engine, the touch ID is so fast it scans with a tap instead of press, it's the same thickness and it has a headphone jack. With double the RAM and a way faster SOC with a 90% GPU performance boost it's incredible and still usable for everything, 8 years later! App support is great for now, but won't last long as more iOS versions get released. The battery life is poor, but this happens to all devices of this age, Android phones too. The iPod batteries are the worst tho (nano and early iPod touch). I'm glad the batteries last enough for a day of use with a couple small charges during the day. If you switch to an iPhone 1-5s for a day, getting the big screen of an iPhone 6 is a luxury again. Just like when it was new!

It's aged so well considering anything below A5 chip only lasted like 4 years

I still have my iPhone 6 from July 2017. Works awesome.

[ProwoodStuff]

The iPhone 6 was my first real Phone, once it stopped getting new IOS version updates I got an iPhone 8. Seeing as that got the axe recently, I'm gonna get an upgrade to the iPhone 11 soon. I'm not the kinda guy to really be eyes on with the newest of the new, I really just want something that works and is supported for a lil' while 😅

[electromega]

I’m an old schooler and I’m not a power user. I’m still using the iphone se 1st gen even though I have something much recent. I love its small size which is very practical for me. It’s sad that they don’t make anymore a smartphone of this size.

[alolanstarboy]

I think just stepping up to the next year's 6S would be MUCH better experience. It got updates all the way up to iOS 15 and was much more technically robust as well so its performance holds up significantly better than the 6 as well.

I still have a 6S with me and I could realistically still use it day to day if I really had to. Its insane that a phone from 2015 is still this usable 8 years later.

My daily runner is still an iPhone-7 plus that I’ve had from new. It’s had a new battery this year, and still runs all my apps perfectly. No plans to part with any hard earned cash to replace it anytime soon 😊

[dylanmooney]

That was a rare version of ios. It would’ve been good for a collector

I have an iPhone 6s Plus from my dad, and it still works to this day. Even after countless cracks and drops, its somewhat capable of running games and apps while almost struggling to run instagram's editor. But even after all that, the battery capacity absolutely sucks. To use it daily from day to night, requires at least 2 full charges to get you going. There's also other issues with thermal, camera stabilization, audio and microphone, etc. But overall, it's still absolutely useable to this day, maybe no longer next year.

[RonnyEdits]

I am still currently using an IPhone 6 and its not going too well... its extremely slow and cant run any apps, but one unusual thing about it is my battery life. My battery life seems to be pretty good lasting me an entire day if used properly. From personal experience I'd say im due for an upgrade but happy to stay with this phone for a little longer.
