QUOTE(westlife @ Nov 9 2018, 08:32 AM) Ya. Cannot expect too much. haha. Compare the lifespan to the money paid. It is worth every single cent. If one really has no high req on smart phone, the iPhone 6 Plus can still easily be used for anther 2 to 3 years. In fact, I can still see many uses it today. True, I have a couple of colleagues still using the 6 Plus and they insist it still works fine. Maybe Apple will continue support for it for another couple of years since iPhone 5S is still supported this year.

Even it is last, it is not bad already since it will be 5 years old next year.

If send back to Apple for repair, the cost is about 700... Today just ordered a XR, still thinking what should I do with i6 plus ๐ This post has been edited by WA300: Nov 11 2018, 02:58 PM

Itโs under Appleโs repair program, but in US, the cost is usd 149 and in Malaysia, itโs about RM 700 now. This repair program is valid for 5 years from the launch of i6. I heard they will give a new refurbished set, not so sure.

If thatโs the case maybe can consider to fix also.just use as spare phone maybe. The iPhone 6 should be able to last another 1 to 2 years minimally for normal usage.

This time maybe have to keep it as spare. I6 plus actually a good phone even a 4 years old phone. The only drawback is the 1gb ram, which might not be sufficient in the future.

Sometimes play game will cause unexpected shut down of the app.

Actually I tried passing my 6 Plus to my mum back in the day but she said it was too big. She's happy with her 5S now (which is also running great on iOS 12.1)

Can only source remaining stocks at authorised dealer or 2nd hand. Anyway se is already more than 2.5 years old. May not be worthwhile to get anymore unless the price is really Low. I recalled that Apple had not dropped the pricing for se even at the second year. Seems like it already hits the lowest possible price for Apple.

It's a pity they discontinued it, a lot of people actually liked the 6S' internals in the SE's form factor
