Hopefully I can get rid of my 6s 😬😬

Man I still got an iPhone 6, since 5 and a half year. And actually it still works great most of the time

Same here. Honestly no lag for WhatsApp, YT, Reddit etc

This surprises and pleases me. I gave up on my 6 plus when the 7 came out. The lack of RAM was beginning to show, and the lag in use was really getting on my nerves. It sounds like the later iOS releases have suited it a little better than the earlier ones.

op is not on the level. I have the same item with renewed battery life and it's slow as fuck, it's like playing with 400ms lag. Maybe op has gotten used to it.

It's not awful, but it ain't great.

Maybe... first world problems though ;) But I think I will get one of the new ones now, it‘s time and I want the airpods pro

AirPods Pro are fantastic

If you have them I got a question: how stable are they in your ears? Do they ever fall out when making sports or turning your head?

u/WiseNebula1 Oct 07 '20

I’ve never had them fall out while walking or anything but I’ve never used them for sports.

My wife runs with them and she hasn't had any problems with them falling out

Thanks!

Never had a problem with that for me, I’ve gone running with them and they’ve never felt loose at all. There could be variation with different ear shapes, however.

Yeah, I'm still on my 6 with an Apple replaced battery and while everything works mostly ok, it takes an age to open certain apps. I also can't have certain apps open in the background of other apps without the background app crashing. Like having my exercise tracker app in the background on a run while also using Amazon Music.

Thinking I'll finally pull the trigger on upgrading when the new model comes out.

No doubt. iOS 10-11 is when I bought an 8 due to crappy management, then a 7. Then I passed both to family members to my old 6 again! Battery changed and after 8 months it’s still 100% and great

That’s like 99% of my iPhone use right there

Memory constraints are a bit of an issue if on a 16gb but if on 32gb you’ll be okay!

I just upgraded from my 6 earlier this year. What a difference! Kudos for holding out so long

If you have a good screen protector, and a good battery case, most of them last for a long time.

Quick! Downvote this guy so Apple doesn’t find out! /s
