I just put iOS 12 on a family member’s iPhone 6, a four year old model. It runs beautifully.
Apple replaced the battery on it for $29, even though the phone did not need it (capacity was above 90% after 2 years of use - it was purchased before phase-out).
More people should replace batteries - their phones would last longer at a cheaper annual cost. We already know modern iPhones have more than enough compute in them.
“Planned obsolescence” is not a thing with iPhones.
- protomyth 8y agoApple replaced the battery on it for $29 I paid $159 twice, and then $79 because the third phone lost the ability to recognize touches (after the battery expanded). After a class action lawsuit was filed, they reduced the price to $29 for battery replacement. Apple didn't refund any portion of the money they got out of me. [edit: because I switched the amounts - dumb me]
- achompas 8y agoI'm sorry, this must have been really disappointing to experience. Why did you pay $159 twice?
- protomyth 8y agoThey stopped responding to touch input and Apple said I either paid it or could keep a broken phone. The third one they said was battery since it swelled to break the case and stopped input. This is the problem with buying Apple. They lie about problems until someone decides to sue but don’t refund anyone who paid already.
