iPhone 6s in India Reviews

  • The iPhone 6s is a 2015 model, and the market has changed a lot since then. The latest technologies & several latest features have been introduced in the smartphone industry. The iPhone 6s is nothing more than an antique or a toy compared to the latest smartphones.
  • The iPhone 6s uses A9 chip-set, which is outdated now and cannot process today’s apps and graphic games smoothly. The phone can be updated to iOS 13, but it may not function as smoothly as the latest models.
  • The iPhone 6s cannot be updated beyond iOS 13. It is the last major software update for the model 6s.
  • The iPhone 6s has a traditional 16:9 screen ration with thick bezels and a Touch ID. The 4.7- inch LCD display is very small compared to the latest smartphones with more prominent displays.
  • You can still buy iPhone 6s for your collection, but it is not recommended for daily usage.
  • The iPhone 6s came with Touch ID first time in 2015 as Apple’s biometric fingerprint sensor but is not continued after the iPhone 8.
  • It was launched with a 12MP primary camera, but it is outdated in today’s times. The market is filled with smartphones with triple cameras to offer wide verities and better shooting options. Also, it doesn’t shoot well in low-light conditions.
