This article strikes close to home as I'm still using my 16GB iPhone 6. A lot of apps have stopped supporting iOS 12, forcing me to to reluctantly replacing them with webpage shortcuts where possible (even then it is not a particulary enjoyable experience). Seeing as how most apps follow a minimalist design language, it bothers me that I need an increasingly powerful phone for apps that are simpler than before (at least visually).


Dude I have a Huawei (amazing otherwise) and I cant even install most american apps, while they'd work perfectly...

But I have to admit the sheer force of the Google detox made me stop a lot of their products, use throwaway gmail accounts everywhere, no cross device sync and all that stuff and I feel... free and light. Ironic isn't it ?


was there a large difference between the iPhone 6 and the 6s Plus? i have a 6s Plus as my only iPhone, and it is running 15.7.2 (with an update scheduled for tonight i just saw). why is your 6 stuck on iOS 12?


The 6S had twice as much RAM (2GB vs 1GB) and the processor was not only a good bit faster but throttled less, too.

Some apps still work on my 6S but it's getting to the point where we've long since been cast adrift.
