I'm still using an iPhone 6 and it works great.
Nowadays 5 years is really not that old for a phone.
Phone manufacturers should release the specs and/or an open source version of the phone's os so people can provide their own support.
- dudul 6y agoI would be interested in seeing data on that. When you say "5 years is not that old" it can be read as "a 5 year old phone works just fine" and I fully agree with that, but it may be considered old in the sense that not many 5 year old phones are in use today. Do a lot of people ignore their carrier's emails about upgrading at the expiration of the contract? I know I do, but I always assumed most people just upgraded almost right away to the new version.

- philg_jr 6y agoThe OS isn't the problem. The binary blobs from Qualcomm is the real problem.

- andredz 6y agoRight, mine works fine as well. So you think that Apple should release the specs for the latests iOS that works with the iPhone 6?
- ta1234567890 6y agoThat would be great. But it would also be great if they just released the specs/code of the first version of iOS that worked with any older-than-5 phone. I still run iOS 10.3 on mine, and really don't care about the latest one, probably would run very slow anyway.
