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.

I think iOS 13 will be the last possible ios?
Even it is last, it is not bad already since it will be 5 years old next year.

Ya, I think iPhone 5S will probably not be supported by 13, so maybe thatโ€™s the last one for the 6, which is pretty good thumbup.gif

More serious than that, the famous multi touch issue. 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 ๐Ÿ˜

Yes. Itโ€™s under Appleโ€™s repair program, but in US, the cost is usd 149 and in Malaysia, itโ€™s 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.

Ic. If thatโ€™s 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.

Normally I would sell off or trade in for new phone, donโ€™t really keep phones as spare. 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.

yes 1GB ram is the only bottleneck now. 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) smile.gif

Ya. But too bad now no more se in selling by Apple. 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.

Yeah, has to be a second hand one or a refurbished one by the time my mum's 5S dies off, haha... It's a pity they discontinued it, a lot of people actually liked the 6S' internals in the SE's form factor smile.gif
