According to my previous view, the iPhone 6s, as apple's old model, should enter the retirement stage in 2022. On the one hand, the iPhone6s was released in September 2015, and if it had been purchased at that time, it would have been more than 6 years now. A mobile phone can last for 6 years, frankly "enough". On the other hand, the actual demand of consumers is gradually rising, and the performance of iPhone6s cannot meet the demand to a large extent, and it is inevitable to replace the new machine.
So, when a friend told me that "in two years, the iPhone6s will not be eliminated", I was strongly opposed at first, and thought that the use cycle of the iPhone 6s had already arrived. Many people are still using the iPhone6s, mainly out of affection and using the iPhone6s as a backup machine.
However, what is the reality? After returning to the village during the Spring Festival, I saw a scene, and I believed my friend's judgment. In other words, "iPhone6s will not be obsolete in two years" will indeed happen, and this is still a fact.
Specifically: combined with the analysis of the economic situation in my village, most people are holding Android mobile phones, the price is basically around 1500-2500 yuan (the key behind the price span is the age difference of the holders, the Android mobile phones used by young people are slightly better and more expensive), and even some 40-50-year-old people take the elderly model. In addition, there are also people who use Apple iPhones, but not many.
In addition to some people who work in big cities, in fact, most of the elderly people use Apple mobile phones that are not used by the younger generations. For example, today we talked about the iPhone 6s. Further, the iPhone6s that the younger generations do not use, through a cleaning (change a new battery, regularly update the iOS system suitable for the machine), and then give a new set of chargers, and then leave it to the elders to use, to some extent, it is more than enough.
First, the need for smartphones by rural elders is extremely limited. Under daily circumstances, their main needs are to make phone calls, chat on WeChat, and occasionally brush short videos. Referring to the hardware configuration of the iPhone6s, the combination of Apple's A9 chip, 2GB of memory and iOS system can still meet these requirements.
Second, in terms of battery life. In fact, the length of battery life is directly related to the frequency of iPhone6s use. From what I've observed, the people in the village who use iPhone6s don't hold their phones all day like young people and don't lose them, but have their own things to do. Therefore, playing with mobile phones is only a scene that can only be seen in leisure time. Then, although the iPhone6s seem to have a mediocre battery life in some people's eyes, they can meet the needs of the elders in the village.
So, here's the interesting result: In the eyes of young people, Apple's phones like the iPhone 6s have long been unsuitable for continued use. Because the battery life and hardware performance have lagged behind; but in the eyes of the elders in the village, the iPhone6s is a smart enough mobile phone, and it is lightweight, not like a "brick". In addition, the iPhone6s benefit from the support of Apple's iOS system, and can continue to operate normally, which makes the machine more powerful.
In summary, the iPhone6s mobile phone will not be eliminated in two years, and it must be placed in the right scene to be a correct judgment. For example, in the case mentioned in the article, I believe that the iPhone6s can continue to be used.
