For anyone considering a 6S: it's not slow at all, and the camera is just fine. Just bought another one two months ago.

  It's probably not getting OS updates (ie. security patches) after iOS 13, though.

    Here I am sitting on a several-years-old iPhone 6s and a recently-purchased 2015 Macbook. When iPhone dies I was planning on getting another 6s[0], but didn't even really consider LTS. Crap. [0] Mostly for the headphone jack, but I suppose I also prefer touchid over faceid

    iOS 12 still supports the 5s. If iOS 13 supports up to the 6, then iOS 14 will likely support the 6s.

      iOS 13 drops support for the 6. It'll be 6s/SE and above for iOS 13. It'll be interesting to see what they do for iOS 14. I was surprised that they cut off both the 6 and 5s this year.

        It’s cause they know that most users are ok using the old stuff and want to force people to update. The iPhone 5 and 6 were fast enough for most needs

        They’ll definitely keep dropping at least one iOS every year on average. Right now the 6S is going to be 4 years old. If they cut back to only 3 year old models. That’s pretty recent. Will be interesting to see if they do that. Removing the 6S Plus is also interesting. I thought maybe they’d give the Plus or higher end models a year longer to incentivize purchasing those. t’s not really a huge deal to me that they’re likely purposefully going to try to keep the newest iOS limited to only a few years. Supporting 4 year old devices is still pretty good. And being on an old iOS for a few years isn’t the biggest deal.

    On one hand bummer about security on the other hand at least you don’t have to worry about apple patching out things that used to work or otherwise messing up the experience
