Big heads up, DO NOT RESET THE IPHONE 6S ON IOS 9! It will be bricked and give you an activation error and you will have no choice but to update to iOS 15.
Some phones have been deactivating on their own, but some iPhone 6s don't have this issue at all, for that check order number and check on everymac to see which carrier it originally had, I am not sure but the ones without the issue are the ones that have/had US carriers (but not all). This is due to the fact that on iOS 9 on A9 it would have too much frequency which is illegal in some countries, it's not the exact explanation but you get the idea. For instance my SE iOS 9 is unlocked but was Verizon and I was able to setup and it never deactivated (and I did the activation after the issue was known).
@@LUKAS-bb4jc also your iOS could be one version above watchOS and you could pair it, but now if you’ve unpaired it, it better match the watchOS with the exact version that goes with iOS or you have to update to the latest version… these dicks (Apple) want you to update so bad now.
@@breadcraft3605 do you even watch the video or you just heard what he has to say? animation when opening apps clearly way cooler and smoother on IOS 9. what are you on?
I owned the 6s for 5 years before I upgraded to an iPhone X and the reasons why i upgraded was the old design, small display and small RAM, apps used to reload very often when I multitask and scrolling through Safari used to crash and reload a lot on twitter. In fact I'm not noticing that much of a difference between the 6s and the X in terms of performance, probably should've upgraded to the Xs instead.
„Apps getting more complex“ really hit me with the subway surfer comparison. Back when games just had a 2-3 play modes and a settings button, and not 20 shiny animated buttons for season pass, daily/weekly challenges, collectibles, specials and more stupid shit :/
Impressive how these modern phones can last so long and still feel reasonably fast. My old iPhone 5 on iOS 10 was slow as molasses compared to the version it shipped with...
I think this is mostly due to apple optimizing their old devices, try this with a Galaxy S5/ or any old android phone and it might be a different story
@keithstoner9065 the iPhone 5 was slowed down by apples admitted iOS updates on purpose to push folks to buy newer. I have one sitting around and it’s slow as hell. Fuck apple
This shows just how much powerful is Apple A9 chip 💪🏻😎 even in 2022 it exceeded my expectations I had back in 2015 when I got it, I'd never ever thought it would have received even iOS 15, that's pretty impressive, for a 7 years old phone Well done Apple! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 this video hit me with iOS 9 nostalgia 🤧
@@RatbagTheCoward I searched the web and indeed, this device will receive this update. One of the reasons could be that an iPad has a bigger battery and this new OS could be more energy consuming. Moreover, the iPhone 6S has never had a good reputation in terms of battery. Secondly, your claim that there is no difference between iPadOS and iOS is unjustified. Both OS have similarities but there is a clear distinction between the two, and it will be even more so with iPadOS 16 which will offer, as example, a feature called Task Manager, as well as a computer-like window interface, which you absolutely don't have on an iPhone. So I suggest you update your point of view on this topic because it must be since iOS 10 that the two OS are not unified anymore.
@@dybefapi8694 I am already aware of the distinctions you mentioned. If anything though, your post only further validates how strange it is that an A9 budget device made the cut, but the A10-powered 7 did not.
I’ve got an iPhone 6s on iOS 13.6.1. It’s broken though but I might get it fixed someday since I can’t find it. If I get it fixed, I’m definitely not updating it and won’t let it update by itself which happened to my iPhone 8 that was on iOS 13.5.1 but updated to 15.6.1 by itself.
Given the age of the phone, it would be best to avoid ios 15. Instead, use an older version of ios with antivirus or additional protection. In a few days, it will be possible to downgrade the iphone 6s. But for security reasons, it's best to stick with the latest software version. But if it's a secondary phone or something else, it's no big deal.
So there was something different about scrolling after all!! Before switching to Android, the last iOS I had used was iOS 6. I recently switched back to iOS but felt that the scrolling physics were different from the last time I used iOS 6. I like the new scrolling. It was one of my biggest complaints about iOS 6 because you had to constantly keep scrolling to reach the end of the page. This is something that Android has done better since years. Glad to see Apple has also implemented it
What? Android is completly Trash on scrolling indirekt comparsion and this since years, Android is slower, chopper, and no option to instant go back to the top of the Website, just pain in the a... if you are normaly use ios...
@@Eddy_E. scrolling on Android is not laggy wtf. If you are using a flagship Android phone, scrolling is buttery smooth and has been since Android Lollipop. About going back to top of the page, Android scrolling speeds are much faster and scrolling physics has less friction. So 2 big swipes and you’ll be on top of the page. Have you even used an Android flagship before?
@@PurushNahiMahaPurush when this only works on latest Tech devices then its just shabby in comparsion to iOS, that was what i mean... And yes i do, thats why i said that scrolling on Android is just pain in the a...😅 And i know this Feature but the lists i talked about seems to be a bit longer if you think cuz on none system is there just swipe 1 or 2 Times, If that would work the scrolling behavior should be nearly to unuseable for average use...
Great video underlining my own impressions regarding the iPhone 6s. This type of iPhone is still fine for my use, bought them all used. And I just even bought an iPhone 6s Plus (128 GB for as little as $60 in mint condition (well yes, the battery is aging a little but this could be helped if I wanted to ...) to add to my collection of iPhones. With an iPhone 8 (256 GB) still running as my "daily driver" I am hesitant in getting one of the newer ones, I find those very chunky. Might go for an iPhone 12/13 mini one day hence it is said to be not as good on battery capacity.
Watching Google IO promises to support Pixel 6 Android for 2 years on my iPhone 6s with its 7th major iOS update installed and running perfectly. No more words needed. Cheers
Yes, but usability wise they're the same. Because apps support Android for longer. RU-vid just dropped support for Android 5, an OS released a decade ago.
I was still perfectly happy using my 6s on iOS 15 (with a charging case) until just recently when I finally upgraded to the 13 mini due to Apple not supporting the 6s once iOS 16 comes out. I’d still be using the 6s if it was going to run iOS 16 as to me it is still a good phone and was more than fulfilling everything I wanted it to.
@@itsyou3270 I actually haven’t used my 6s now since it was on iOS 15.4 so I can’t say how it would do on 15.6. However on 15.4 I found it worked just fine and I assume it would be good on all iOS 15 updates as the 6s is supported until iOS 16 arrives.
Amazing it still pretty much the same system (inteface),companies like samsung have changed several times trying to find one that fits, from touchwiz to samsung experience, to one ui. The other impressive thing, of course that thing from 16 still able to handle an OS from 2022
The reason of that is because they're trying to find the best minimalist and efficient way, something it did apple at its first years of debut but not the rest of the companies
I wouldn't say Apple not changing their interface is some amazing thing. It's simple and boring which is why people like it. People who want to customize everything and create their own interface buy android phones.
If anyone wants to get the version of an app exactly of the iOS version, you can just install it on a modern iPhone and download from saved library in old
@@I_am_FRANCO I have 2 iPhone 6s phones aswell. They both are broken at the moment. 1 doesn’t have a battery, they both don’t have a display and they have no Touch ID since the original home button for 1, the flex cable got ripped and the other, I can’t remember.
iphone 6s.. the first phone I had. It was third-hand when I used it (used by my grandma > my elder bro > me). I can’t believe it passed 6 major updates! When I used it, it was perfectly fine somehow. Eventually, I upgraded to the iphone 11.
i am still using the 6s, love it so much. and i also owned a 7plus, weirdly 6s works better, but dont get me wrong these are old phones, it's not fast, but they worked for me because i only use it on the road to work, and i have a separate newer and bigger phone to use at work. i trade my xr, xs max, but i couldn't trade this 6s, in fact i traed my 6s for the 7 plus, but eventually got another second hand 6s. btw, i also have a 12 mini, but not as much love to the 6s, and the 5g is basically useless, it drains battery so much.
iOS 12 takes 1.5gb on iPhone 5s, iOS 15 takes 6.7gb on iPhone SE 1, so I think iOS 9 for iPhone 6s would need 1gb and iOS 15 7gb because of the higher resolution.
This is beautiful! it's an amazing feat to be able to run this device on its original software. I wish i knew how to do this. Which is kinda sad because it isn't but a few years old. Anyway thanks for covering this great "older" piece of tech.
Would say its a good thing that they stopped updates for the iP6s and iP7 at iOS 15 - on iOS 16 they would struggle. At least they learnt from what happened with the A5 chip.
@@jeffomalley100 sorry but it’s just my personal opinion, cuz like ios 9 is the best ios version, and ever since it’s been getting worse and worse; i’m saying it again, it’s just my opinion for my personal style & taste
will my IPhone be bricked if i install IOS 9 on a iPhone 6 just the OG I'm looking to jailbreak (downgrading this is LEGAL it passed a bill while that jailbreaking is legal) just wondering because like IOS 9
I heard it through the Grapevine that the 128GB iPhone 6s is way faster then the 64GB Version due to faster Read Write TImes on the Memory as Apple used different vendors for the different versions so the 64GB Version is slightly slower in the Read Write to the memory. So question???? What are the Storage capacities of these two in the test???
iOS 9 was during the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, I was thinking about the same as iOS 15 was during the Concealed the Conclusion wasn't sure if you were updating iPhone 6 Plus
Good Afternoon, I a huge fan of gadgets comparision content and your videos best fit my taste, I am keen on watching your videos. I wonder if you could tell us hove to downdrage an iphone into lower ios versions like from 15 to 13 in 2022
The Iphone 6s and 7 could've both handled ios 16 considering that 2GB RAM iPads are still supported while iPhone 7+ with 3GB RAM not supported, both the 6s and 7 could've handled upto ios 17.
@@etsonix ya but the 6s+ and 7+ don't heat up that crazy, they should'nt have killed the iPhone 7+ still they should've made that the lowest supported iPhones. Before iPads were getting the same amount of updates and now its over lasting
WhatsApp does not work on iOS 9, so you need to upgrade to iOS 11 and above. Between October and November, WhatsApp support for iOS 9 and iOS 10 will be completely discontinued.
You need a newer iOS device, so you can download the new version then go to your purchases on the old device and install the latest compatible version.
