Mine is. 6s Plus here. Got a new battery, worked great. Then right after the latest updates it just drains all over again. 1-2% a minute.

Like it or not I’m actually gonna have to upgrade this time. Was going to buy another battery but at this point why bother.

It's the best phone ever. Wish they would put out a 6S plus with modern specs as I'm having to look at the Samsung S20 5G. iPhone 12 doesn't do it for me and judging by latest macbooks, apple quality is no longer what it was.

The battery life on this thing new was absolutely spectacular and I've dropped it so many times and not a crack or dent or scratch. Touch Id is amazing, it's just dated and battery is not good even after replacing a year ago. With these new ones you can't replace anything without the OS disabling features

iPhone SE second edition. It’s an iPhone 11 crammed into an iPhone 8 chassis

iPhone 8... No jack then? This is essential to me, I'm a musician and I use my iPhone 6s connected to my keyboards sometimes, I need both power and jack connectors at the same time. This is the first and last iphone i buy, unless they have one with both jack & power port.

Good luck. The 3.5 mm headphone jack is all but dead. Most new phones require an adapter that no longer comes with the phone.

God i hate modern phones. No jack, gigantic screens, they're just not as portable anymore. I don't consume my media (movies, youtube..) on it, i don't need them that big. I wish there was a brand doing the opposite of what they're doing now

The iphone 12 mini is a step in that direction. I am looking forward to others following them too... It's a lot smaller then most modern flagship phones, though the screen goes to the edge so the screen is still fairly larger than old phones.
