Buying Used iPhones (2021)
As per the report by The Verge, even the six-year-old smartphone of the Cupertino giant, the iPhone 6s, still got the latest update of the iOS 15.
It is worth mentioning that the old phone of Apple was still shipped with a very old version of the mobile operating system, the iOS 9.
That only proves that the aging devices of the iPhone maker are still worth purchasing as it still works with the latest software of Apple--albeit with its older hardware.
Not to mention that buyers of used phones get them with a massive price cut compared to the hefty price tag of the brand new counterpart.
That said, according to YouTuber, Unbox Therapy, the refurbished iPhone 6s was heralded as the best-selling smartphone on Amazon way back in 2019.
And although the said phone is not as snappy as the latest smartphone offerings, it still did the basic tasks without any issues.
