How will a refurb 6s help with speed? I assume the infamous slowdown-on-new-OS is due to the new OS being optimized for new hardware, not an old phone "wearing out".
- NDizzle 9y agoIt's my (incorrect?) assumption that going from a 6 to a 6s would buy me another year worth of acceptable iOS speed. My best option may be to deal with the performance and get my 6+ refreshed by Apple. Thinking about it, I haven't added a new "must use" app in some time. Maybe refreshing my 6+ is the way to go.
- mikeash 9y agoThe 6s is a lot faster than the 6.
- hhiweiewie8 9y ago6s doubled RAM from 1GB to 2GB. The CPU was almost twice the performance as well. I was rather annoyed by how smooth my wife's 6s was when she upgraded versus my (then) year old 6 Plus FWIW, my current iPhone SE is a 6s with a lesser camera, 4" screen, no 3D Touch, but it's just as zippy and smooth as my wife's 6s (which is buttery smooth with iOS 11). In fact some benchmarks show the SE performing better than a 6s or 7 in certain cases. Fewer fancy hardware bits to schedule work for, maybe?
