My wife and I each have an iPhone 6S, which are fairly “old” now. The phone was working fine until a month or two ago when I the latest “update” came out from Apple, which has completely killed our battery life. My wife got a new battery, but it is still cannot hold a charge overnight.
Of course, Apple does this on purpose so people will upgrade. There is nothing mechanically wrong with my phone, and I am a fairly light user, pretty much only surfing the web (Steemit primarily!) and checking email, so the dying battery is an inconvenience more than anything.
Well the hassle is becoming less worth it, so I am thinking about throwing up the white flag in surrender and just buying new phones. Apple is constantly upgrading and putting out new and better versions of the iPhone, so my wife and are trying to decide – do we upgrade to a iPhone X now, or wait a few months until the next version (who knows what they will name it) comes out?
I am no expert on iPhones so please chime in with your thoughts/opinions if you have one!
Is anyone using an iPhone older than 6S?
Take care,
Brian
An apple man huh... I'm not sure if we can still be friends...
Ha! What do you have against Apple?? You short the stock??
Never. I just feel you pay more for the same technology you can get from Samsung. :)
I love my iPhone X! You're stuck on the worst series (6). I enjoyed my 7 Plus as well. But since I love photography, I've always gotten new upgrades to get the better camera. It's so close to a new version, I'm tempted to say wait and see what they come out with, but I think you'll like the X if you decide to upgrade.
What does iPhone with their updates is outrageous. Never owned an iPhone, but I consider the phones of a high quality and as always with a great design. However they're also overpriced comparing them with other android flagships, but for the ones having them for generations seems that other manufacturer doesn't exist anymore. If you opt for the X you should know that it doesn't have a physical home button so you will have to get used with some gesture for that and it is larger than the 6S. I had one in hand and didn't like it too much so if you don't care that much about having the latest and greatest you could choose for an 8 or why not wait for the new models and see "what upgrade" they bring to the new ones. If you are willing to switch to android I would suggest you oneplus 6 or Huawei P20 pro.
@brian.rrr. So timely. I have an Iphone 6. Battery life is an oxymoron. It also as slow as a 286. I too have been considering the X. Heard the incremental advancements at least for someone my needs will not be worth paying for the "new version". Also, the X may have greater incentives on pricing as the release date approaches. Finally, with the new release, there will be a new ios update, which should improve the X as well (I'v heard). I need to pull the trigger soon, given an international trip in October. Check to see what your carrier will credit you on trading in the 6s.
Thanks for the tip and hope you can get a new one before your trip! Take care buddy!

Apple is the real boss as I think if you upgrade your iPhone 6 then the new version iphone X is quite better. You get some new features as well as better service in iphone X. So I think you should upgrade for better experience.
I just had my iPhone 6 Plus fry on me about 6 months ago. I contemplated upgrading to the IPhone X but in the end I couldn’t justify the extra money for what seemed like very few additions. In the end I got myself another iPhone 6 Plus and I am happy.
Friend, how are you? I do not know much about cell phones and the one I have is a very old model and in venezuela they are so expensive that I can not buy one of the latest model, so I tell you that if cell phones are already failing and you have the possibility of acquiring new equipment to you and your wife do not hesitate to do it
Greetings to your beautiful family
I have an iphone 4s that I love madly despite being a version in extinction, was a cell phone that I managed to buy 5 years ago when the economy of my country still breathed, today lives connected to the charger, because without it works just 30 minutes, the updates of cell phones in apple are getting closer and closer, which makes the previous versions are junk, but apple manages to steal our hearts and does not allow us to change to another brand, for my part I will not change it in some time, but if you plan to change, it is better to wait a little bit for the next version, and the iphone X is going to be one year soon.
I say you update to Android. The Galaxy S is a great phone. I had a GS4 back in the day and it was amazing. I had to switch when I changed carriers (stupid) and haven't been as happy with any of my phones since then.
My friend I've never had an iPhone buy it here in my country costs a lot of money tanco as what a house or a car costs but I love this brand I like the system they use the last one I heard was about iPhone X they say it's good but I do not know maybe you should wait a little longer with your phones and then buy the new one
Hello friend @ brian.rrr how are you?
I have not had one now I have the S3 mini is very old but it is difficult to change phones are worth a lot of money now you have the possibility I have heard that the iPhone x is very good but there are improvements I am surprised that 6S is already obsolete
I have a iPhone 7 and it works great but I had a galaxy s4 and my charged would show 100% then 25% and up to 80% and then it would die
You should upgrade your phone with a newer one because I see your phone has some problems.
Like @brian.rrr
iphone is my favorite mobile , iphone is a very gret technogy . Thank you for sharing with us " Best of luck.
Hey dear friend . How are you .should upgrade your phone with a newer one because I see your phone has some problems. Thanks for share

keep with your old phone , as well as smartphones being too smart with being nosy and knowing what your doing , the new iphone will be obsolete in about a weeks time !!! but entirely up to yourself's x
In this case the technology advances by leaps and bounds, you have the advantage of being able to get high-end phones, here when new phones are already obsolete, and the iPhone before the 6S have many problems, and the new version for us is in affordable , I think you should buy the new version and save the previous one for any emergency, many greetings @ brian.rrr
I upgrade when my current phone stops working.
Friend, I think that if you have the opportunity to wait a bit, it would be good because they acquire a totally new team.

Upvote you
i love iphone. and the new i phone X is awesome.. bro
For sure these mobile companies just play games with us means, just see how they play games means, if one phone is launched in few months they will launch same phone with upgraded version and they use marketing in a way that some people take loans to buy Apple phones.
And in my opinion, Android phones are much better and their usability is far more extended than Apple IPhone. In my opinion people every time waits for the latest iPhone and it really funny aspect for sure.
Good luck to you and i hope that you will upgrade it. Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
