a phone of this size the bigger the
phone the more future proof it kind of
is at this point
even though apple and a lot of other
manufacturers are still making smaller
phones
it you know a bigger phone with a bigger
screen and higher resolution
really does add a lot more future
ability to this type of device now this
is a five-year-old phone so it has
depreciated quite a bit in value
but i'll find the cheapest one on amazon
link it down below but i'll probably
leave some other iphones linked down
below too and you can kind of sift
through those ones for the price tag
you can help support the channel at the
same time if you buy those now on the
front of the iphone 6s
plus we still have that 5.5 inch panel
so nothing has changed there
it's 1080p it's full hd and this is what
i mean by you know a bigger panel better
high resolution and stuff can you know
future proof yourself
with phones like the iphone 12 mini and
the iphone 12 and 12 pro the resolutions
are higher than 1080p
but they're still kind of around the
same with the 6s it's a lower end panel
with this one it's a little bit higher
so that's definitely a huge asset for it
now you do have quite a bit of bezel
around the whole entire display
is it horrible kind of not i mean it
definitely is a lot more
and the more and more further we go into
each year the less and less we see the
amount of bezels on each phone
but i think it's totally okay and it's
totally justifiable
when you remember that this phone came
out in 2015. you still have that home
button which is totally fine
on the bottom lightning port which apple
is kind of set to remove they may or may
not
you have that headphone jack as well
which is still really cool to have on a
device like this
and on the back you have the aluminum
build pretty much on this whole entire
device
and then you have that single camera
setup now i will tell you the feeling of
this phone
is still fairly premium it doesn't feel
like a cheap phone
it still feels like a fairly premium
phone for the most part
now it doesn't have glass on the back or
anything and i really doubt 2021 phones
are going to change
that much so we're probably still going
to see glass backs and all that stuff
but regardless this phone is still going
to be a
pretty good phone when it comes down to
the whole entire you know feeling of it
i think even in 2021
now with that single camera setup it is
a 12 megapixel sensor which i actually
do like a lot
i think it's a really really good sensor
when it comes down to it you have the
ability of shooting 4k videos at 30
frames per second
which that in and of itself i think is a
huge plus for it and you also have a
five megapixel front-facing camera
now the one of the biggest downsides of
this specific phone
is the you know lack of additional
sensors you don't have a telephoto lens
you don't have an ultrawide sensor but
on top of that you don't have 4k 60 you
definitely don't have 8k
you don't have porch mode or anything
like that but i will tell you
there's a lot of apps on the app store
there's a lot of editing capabilities we
have nowadays
that can make a phone that looks like a
4 out of 10 and easily make it like a 7
out of 10
and even within ios 14 it has a built-in
you know editor in the app itself in the
photo app
that you can actually go ahead and edit
a lot of videos and photos that way too
and make the photos and videos look
better just stock without even having to
download an
app so that's another pretty big asset
too and i think
day to day if you had to use this phone
as a main device
the camera itself would actually be
pretty good i really don't think it'd be
that bad
obviously like i said it's not perfect
the front camera also no 4k on the front
camera only 720p
and that's another pretty big downside
for it i feel like a lot more people use
you know front cameras more than back
cameras nowadays
but still it has a camera it functions
and for a majority of people out there
it'll probably get the job done again
it's not going to be perfect but i think
it's going to be okay for a ton of
people
so in terms of how that camera holds up
in 2021
that pretty much covers it up in that
specific standpoint now
software wise this is probably going to
be one of the biggest changes of the
iphone 6s plus this year
when it first came out it came out with
ios 9 which was you know five
or five years ago right now it did get
ios 14 which some people
including me didn't think it was going
to get but realistically you know if i'm
going to be honest with you guys
it's looking like this phone is going to
be ending off with ios 14. so the last
version of ios 14 that comes out whether
that's like ios 14.4
14.5 14.6 whatever it is realistically
it's probably going to be the last
version of software that it's going to
end off it's not going to be getting ios
15
so what does that mean it basically
means that this phone is not going to be
getting all the features that ios 15 is
getting
and come this you know june time frame
it's not going to be getting that next
version of software now is that the end
of the world
absolutely not because realistically
like we saw before
with the iphone 6 with the iphone 5s
those continued to get updates even
past their you know realistic end date
so we had phones like the iphone
you know 6s and above getting ios 13 and
14 but the iphone 6 and 5s were still
getting updates so that same thing could
be happening with the iphone 6s lineup
including the 6s plus so
realistically that's kind of what i see
happening this phone is still going to
be getting security and supplemental
updates
even when ios 15 and potentially even
when ios 16 comes out
so in terms of that that pretty much
covers it up in the software standpoint
now performance wise this phone when it
first came out had that apple a9 chip
inside of it the dual core cpu
and then two gigabytes of ram on every
single model that came out now what i
can tell you is
is that first of all the performance of
this phone for a five-year-old device in
2021
is still pretty good okay i'll be
completely honest
this phone is not like a five or six
year old android device i feel like with
the androids they age a little bit
differently
apple and these type of devices they age
so well
that honestly you can pick up a phone
like an iphone 4 or iphone 3gs
and still kind of feel like you have a
pretty okay phone obviously it's going
to be a horrible experience
but the 6s plus is not a horrible
experience in 2021
it's still pretty good and if it ends
off with ios 14 and nothing detrimental
happens to the experience
you're going to have a really good time
with it in my opinion now it's not that
fast
and it's not you know the best
graphically performing device out there
you know to give you some examples if
you're playing a game you know if you're
playing real racing 3 you're going to
see skipped frames you're going to
see some glitches here and there and if
you're trying to open up real racing 3
you're going to have a faster experience
on something like an iphone 12
app opening speeds smoothness the
gesture based design
those things are huge added benefits to
something like an iphone 12
over an iphone 6s plus however the
biggest difference is
in my opinion that once those apps are
loaded once the iphone 6s plus has an
app that's already loaded on it
it's pretty much just you're good to go
if you have snapchat loaded if you have
you know
instagram or whatever you're going to go
through you're going to have a good time
with it like it's going to be almost the
same
it's not until you get into those bigger
apps and games that you start to see
some more glitchness
and skip frames and all that stuff but
on top of that ram management is another
huge problem with these type of devices
that are older
so realistically the newer phones you'll
be able to multitask much better and
much smoother from those type of devices
than the iphone 6s plus so that's
another pretty big thing to keep in mind
but the smoothness is still there the
speed i think is kind of there too for a
five or six year old device
but honestly i don't think anybody's
planning on this thing being like the
fastest performing phone anymore so i
think it's actually still pretty
impressive in this day and age if i'm
being completely honest so
in terms of performance that's honestly
how i would kind of sum it up
in 2021 now ending it off with the
battery life this phone
stock had 2 750 million powers now the
reason i say stock
is because you know a lot of these
batteries have degraded over time mine
included
my battery is not at full 100 capacity
realistically it's around that i think
it's around like 80 something percent
probably even less than that
and i think if it was on stock it would
actually have a pretty decent battery
life still
but it's really not that good anymore
and that's a pretty big disadvantage
for these type of devices so i'll
probably tell you in terms of the
battery life
you're going to have a pretty okay
experience like it's not going to be
that great
and ios 14 has taken a toll on the
battery life a little bit too so that's
another thing to keep in mind
so but you can still replace it you can
do whatever you need to with the battery
and really any part of this phone too
it's pretty easy and user replaceable so
to kind of sum up this video and say
answer the question is the iphone 6s
plus still worth it in the later part of
early part of 2021
what i can tell you is is that i think
the iphone 6s plus
how it holds up right now as a device as
it is is a pretty
interesting device you know it's not an
extreme it's not like it's a 10 year old
phone
it's right at that time frame where we
started getting phones that you know
started having dual camera setups and
you know 1080p on the front and
different things like that and there's
still some pros for the success plus i
mean for the time being
it's still getting support which is
really cool there's a lot of capability
in terms of ios
we got those widgets we got picture and
picture we got a lot of cool things
that realistically we had a jailbreak
before and speaking about jailbreak this
phone still has that check range
outbreak as well
and you can jailbreak any version of
software that this phone gets so that's
another huge thing about the longevity
of this device
that you can still download tweaks and
all that stuff you still have a very
premium build quality to this phone
at a fairly cheap price tag in the used
market i mean this thing
doesn't cost that much if i'm being
honest the camera isn't horrible it'll
definitely get the job done it's
definitely not a huge aspect
of it and not a huge pro but it's
definitely not a con in my opinion the
panel is pretty big on this type of
phone too you still have force touch
you know support for as long as you can
until i think ios 15 comes out
and i'll definitely tell you like it's
not a bad phone but is definitely not
the fastest phone it's definitely not a
fast
i would not classify this as being a
fast phone i would consider it more
maybe like kind of a smooth phone
definitely not the smoothest phone i
would recommend or anything
but it's definitely a smoother phone
than i would expect there's no 1080p on
the front there's no 4k 60 on the back
you know obviously quite a bit of bezel
on the panel and everything but i'll
definitely tell you for the most part i
think it'll get the job done for sure so
if you're in the market if you want to
pick up a phone like this
i'll say go for it if you have it i
would recommend keeping it for as long
as you can
but i would recommend going up to a
phone like an iphone 10r
maybe an iphone 11 if you can you know
go ahead and pull the monies for it
but i think the iphone 10r is a great
phone that i would recommend to so many
people
has so much capability and honestly
that's probably around that type of
phone that i would recommend is an
iphone 10r so
