Hey, welcome back to the channel. Today I'm going to tell you the
top 5 reasons
to buy an iPhone 6s Plus in 2018. So here we go...
So like I said, this is going to be just
going to be a quick top 5. I'm going to be putting up a video in a
few days of a deeper dive into using this in 2018
with more detailed information. If that sounds of interest

So the iPhone 6s Plus was Apple's flagship phone
back in 2015 and it still has pretty reasonable specs today.
It's got a 5.5" Retina HD display,
that's an IPS display. It's got a 64 bit
A9 processor, with the embeded M9 Motion Coprocessor
and 2GB RAM.
So in 2018 when we have flagship phones, on the Android side
Like the Galaxy S9, and on the Apple side
Like the iPhone 8 and iPhone X. Why would you buy
an iPhone 6s Plus in 2018 when it's
a 3 year old phone now?
Here are the top 5 reasons why you might want to consider one.
Alright, now first up is the price. If you buy this directly from
Apple, for the 32GB version, you're going to be paying
$550 US and the 128GB
version is $650. Not worth it, in my opinion.
You definitely want to go used or
refurbished on this one.
If you look in the right places
Online or on Craigslist, you can get a used one for about
$200 - $400 in really good condition and with a brand new
iPhone X costing over $1,000
is what you get with the iPhone 10 really
that much better than what you get on this 6s Plus?
That's for you to decide, I'm going to show some of the other reasons
why you might want to consider it over an iPhone X.
Reason number 2 is that infamous headphone jack.
Now this is a big area of debate, a lot of people say that they use
Bluetooth only and it doesn't matter. Most of my headsets are Bluetooth,
but it is nice having that headphone jack for when
your Bluetooth headset isn't charged, or you want to hook it up
to a stereo system, or you're in a car that has
an AUX jack, but no Bluetooth, you can just use
that 3.5mm and a cable, hook right
in and you're good to go.
So it is a nice thing to have and I gotta' say
I use it pretty frequently
Reason number 3 is the photos and videos.
This thing still takes phenomenal
video and still shots, it shoots up to 4K
at 30FPS for the video, you can also
do slow motion at 1080p at 120FPS
or 720P at 240FPS
The pictures and the video
look great! It has excellent low light
performance, beautiful daytime performance, HDR
all the bells and whistles you could want, in my opinion
It's really not that much worse, at least not for
$600 - $700 worse than an iPhone X
Reason number 4 is Apps and Games
still run phenomenally well on this.
I've yet to find anything, even
recent things, like PUBG, that don't run great.
Every game I've thrown at it works fine,
I've never found an app that wasn't compatible with
this phone and that's because the current version
of iOS, which is 11.3 at the time of this video,
still works flawlessly on this
phone and it's fully supported, so
apps and games, not an issue
Reason number 5, and the final reason, is the tons and tons of
accessories and screen protectors and
cases and wraps and everything that are available for this phone.
You can get lenses for the phone to add
another step to your photography and video.
I got a really nice case that lets you add wireless
charging to the phone, it adds very little bulk to the phone but lets you
charge it on a Qi charging pad.
There's all kinds of wraps that completely change the look of
your phone and accessories for just about
everything you can think of.
So hopefully these 5 reasons will help you make a decision whether you want to go for something like
an iPhone 8 or iPhone X, or something cheaper like the iPhon 6s Plus
That you can get for a fraction of the cost
and still has a good deal of the functionality and still works great
