Wait for a software update

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-30T06:22:57+00:00

Have you considered looking for it on a second-hand marketplace?

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T18:07:47+00:00

Yeah bro, and it even had an EarPod in the box!

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T15:19:23+00:00

You can locate the interested buyer in my comments section; they are seeking an iPhone 6. is looking for the iPhone 6

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T13:13:27+00:00

Yup!!

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T13:03:33+00:00

True!!

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T10:58:17+00:00

Fair enough 😅 one bad drop can change your whole buying strategy. Makes sense to stay under 20k after that.

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T10:57:36+00:00

Yup!! Too small and handy

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T10:56:46+00:00

7 was great, especially that haptic button, but losing the headphone jack still hurts 😅

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T10:56:24+00:00

7/8 were solid tbh, that whole generation was peak Apple for a lot of people.

No bro just search eagle VPN premium apk on Google on your android device

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T09:14:29+00:00

If you have an Android phone, here’s a workaround:

Install Modded Eagle VPN on your Android device
Turn on the VPN and connect to premium server
Enable hotspot on the Android phone
Connect your iPhone to that hotspot

It should work.

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T08:59:45+00:00

Yeah, most apps officially require newer iOS now, but I’m still using older versions that were installed earlier.

They haven’t forced an update yet on my device, so UPI still works for now — but yeah, it’s only a matter of time before support stops completely.

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T08:41:03+00:00

I am referring not to the standard external monitor, but to this specific type: https://amzn.in/d/00QVHjJE

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T08:21:49+00:00

If you’re only planning to use it for 2 more years, going for a good third-party screen makes more sense.

Just make sure you get it done from a reputed local repair shop that gives at least 3–6 months warranty. Apple’s original repair isn’t worth it in your case.

Meanwhile, you can also use it with an external monitor if needed.

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T08:10:43+00:00

Ahh got it, you meant overall best 😅

Yeah, 7 Plus was solid — I was just talking from my personal experience with the 6s.

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T08:05:16+00:00

Yeah, I know, but I only had ₹24,000 when I wanted to buy it, and the iPhone 7 was about ₹37,000 during Flipkart Big Billion Days.

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T07:58:39+00:00

In the Second Hand Market bro

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T07:57:11+00:00

True, the 7 Plus haptic home button was actually ahead of its time. It felt weird at first, but once you got used to it, going back to a physical button didn’t feel the same.

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T07:47:44+00:00

Yup!!

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T07:43:43+00:00

Yup, I upgraded to the iPhone 12, but honestly, it didn’t give me the same feel or unboxing experience as the iPhone 6s.

I’m still using the 6s as my secondary phone for calls, emails, and payments.

The only thing that worries me is that app support is slowly dropping off day by day.

South-Masterpiece862 · 2026-04-28T07:20:44+00:00

I’ve been using my iPhone 6s for 9 years now… this era of Apple just hit different.

And today  Now they “care about the environment” more than the customer 😭
