Time to bring myself back up to date.
The iPhone 6s served me well for just over 10 years with one DIY battery replacement and screen replacement. However, with major iOS updates stopping at iOS 15, an increasing number of apps no-longer support this old system.
First impressions:
- Getting used to not having a home button and switching from finger print id to face id
- Slightly larger width and height, but with much more screen-space, and many more pixels
- Much thicker and heavier, but not quite so slippery – less easy to drop
- Streaming video is handled far more efficiently, generating no device heat and barely denting the battery
- Location services, especially when using the Maps app used to quickly kill the iPhone 6s battery, but not the 17
