Don't know why people are downvoting this, but the 5C just got "obsoleted" so that could mean the 6 is right on the brink of update oblivion. So that could be a reason.

could be - but the question is so stupid - not worthy to actually reply. In the light of such pretentious behaviour I have no idea why apple users have a reputation of being pragmatic and down2earth. </irony>

  I'm an apple user, perhaps even a fan. I don't have a clue why your comment was downvoted. Is it a lot? Maybe it's a misclick.

    just joking. nonetheless my question was serious. I wouldn't like to pay more than €500 on a smartphone. And ...,iP6 < €500 < iP7,... Actually I am a happy Android user. But I don't like too much of my data in one basket. Which is why I would consider iPhone for my next phone. But the praise of iOS regarding privacy is rather new. So my question aims at whether I could expect also the privacy for older iPhones or if this is only coming with newer versions. Of course data safety is in this case a result of an Apple policy - which would affect all products - but possibly older iPhones still send too much data to Apple. F.x. let's assume a Catalonian opposition politician who's investigated by the Spanish police and a judge decides his data should be searched. With this warrant they contact Apple. Would apple now send all their data about the guy to the police - how much do they have? That's another question I ponder besides ad tracking policies.

      Well, the data sending is (AFAIK) about the OS, not the phone itself. So if did they made this policy change for iOS 11 [1] then all phones that run iOS 11 get it. And honestly, the 6 is probably fine. They stopped updated 5C and before because they were 32-bit phones. I expect 6 and on to keep getting security updates, etc. for a long time. At least I hope so because I had planned on staying with my 6 for as long as I can. For your spanish case, I would refer to the case of the US terrorists: Apple prefered to pay a fine to the US government rather than unlocking it. [1] I think they've always had this kind of policy, for the record.
