watching the most recent Apple event has convinced me to break out my old iPhone 6 to see how it holds up. Might need to send it in for battery service because iirc it has trouble holding a charge, but honestly feels super light and going back to a fingerprint sensor might be nice.

No way I'm paying $1k+ for a new phone that will be exactly as capable as my current one (an 11 Pro Max). Using the allure of AI to drive sales won't work, and in fact does the opposite for me.

for the most part, the iPhone 6 isn't useful. many services have dropped support for the last version of their apps that support iOS 12, and the fact that some do (Outlook, Discord, Google Maps) feels like an accident. this this is basically just good for light web browsing, and even that is spotty because, again, too old. only Cohost runs well on it...

the more i use it the more i'm convinced this is the Correct screen size, Max feels way to big now

battery is shot (can't go 5 minutes without overheating) and Apple doesn't stock replacement batteries anymore. oh well!!! fun to dig it out again & get hit by nostalgia waves at least.
