how well does a 3 year-old phone perform in 2017!
let's find out
Lets start with the design we actually have a very sleek
and a good-looking phone here in fact
the design is still continued with the
iPhone 7 just with a bigger camera and
the relocation of the antenna bands but
other than that we have a full-on minion
body which feels quite premium but it
does make the phone a little bit
slippery so I won't really recommend it
without a skin or a case chances are you
will end up dropping your phone or
cracking the screen at one point or the
other but if you are a little careful
for most part you should be fine so
overall the design and the build quality
still sounds pretty good in 2017 now
this model is about three years old and
is still in great condition this was
actually the first iPhone with a bigger
screen
we had the iPhone 5 which was a little
bit taller but it was still pretty small
compared to most androids so from that
perspective this was the first iPhone
that started competing with bigger
screen sizes and that trend is still
continued even today with the iPhone 7
and the 7 plus looking at the front it
comes with a 4.7 inch Retina display or
a 5.5 inch display if you upgrade to the
plus model which I have right over here
moving on both phones are available in
16 32 and 128gb both phones also come
with 1gb of RAM along with that we have
a AAA processor 64 bit widow m8 motion
coprocessor on the back we have an 8
megapixel camera with F 2.2 which is
able to record at 1080p 60 frames per
second or 30 frames per second and along
with that we have a 1.2 megapixel
front-facing camera and the camera
sensors are getting a little outdated
but don't underestimate them you are
still able to take really good pictures
and videos even today and I will show
you guys some sample footage is just in
a bit but for now let's move on to our
specifications so the iPhone 6 and
6-plus come with first generation touch
ID which is a little bit slower compared
to the second gen but it's definitely
not a deal-breaker it still performs
really well and this phone also comes
with a classic headphone jack that you
won't find with the iPhone 7 or the same
with that we have a 18 10 million
battery for the iPhone 6 and a 19 15
million battery if you upgrade to the
plus model now actual battery life could
vary quite significantly depending if
you're buying this phone used or if
you're buying a brand new and if you're
buying you use how heavily it's been
used and if the battery was everyplace
and a lot of different factors but for
me the model I have is about three years
old and is still running on the original
alpha battery and I know this because I
had this phone since they're very big me
and even till today this value allows me
about a complete day of normal use which
is pretty good in fact the iPhone 6
models are able to last a little bit
longer than the iPhone 6s models so
maybe that's another reason why you want
to go for the Apple six beside it's half
the price than the iPhone 6s now I've
covered all the basic specs bus specs me
nothing is the phone is not able to
perform that well so let's talk about
how this phone actually performs beside
all the specifications
alright so drinks and basic web browsing
it performs fairly well it'll maybe take
a second or two to load a web page but
overall it's not bad
roughly speaking it will take you maybe
a second more to load a web page when
comparing to the latest iPhone but
overall doesn't make a big difference
it's also able to run on the latest
software so really in the inside in
terms of what you can do the apps you
can install and all that really makes no
difference if you have this or the
active 7 plus also the phone should be
able to update to the latest iOS 11
whenever that comes out so you will
still be able to enjoy the new layout
any software upgrades and all that just
with the iPhone 6
speaking from a perspective of gaming
playing games like real racing 3 works
surprisingly well I'm getting very good
frame rates really good graphics and a
really good screen to play the game on
sure launching the application might
take a bit longer on the iPhone 6 but
once the game is up and running it
really makes no difference if you're
playing the game on the iPhone 7 or the
iPhone 6 the only real issue I face is
the limited storage you get from a 16gb
device since that is the base storage
and even half of that is occupied by the
operating system so that only leaves you
with about 10 to 11 GB of storage so
that 11 GB of limited storage really
holds you down to what you can actually
you on this phone I have you songs some
pictures and some basic applications and
my sewage is completely full it's full
to the point that I can't even take a
picture from my camera and if I take a
screenshot that won't be saved because I
don't have any storage to save that so
for me personally storage is the only
thing that will keep me back from using
the iPhone 6 in 2017 because other than
that comparing this phone is three years
old it's pretty affordable right now and
has a design that sells well in 2017
with good performance the camera quality
is not as good as the iPhone 6s or the
iPhone 7 but is still pretty good
comparing it to the price so at the end
I'll let you guys decide if the fo 6 is
still worth it in 2017 let me know what
you think in a comment down below and
with that here are some sample footage
from the Apple 6 plus
and yhaa that was it for today if you
