Wanted: iPhone 6S Plus - 64GB or 128GB

ChatCPT on 24/09/2018 - 11:23

Looking for phone for non tech savvy parents. My research has led me to the iphone 6S plus because
- Iphone is easy to use (they dont like android)
- 6S is supposed to be sweet spot. 6 is too slow. 6S is old but fast alternative
- large storage so set and forget. they can take all the videos they want

Is my logic ok? Is there any good 6S plus deals available?
I had a search on ozbargain and there doesnt seem to be any active deals at the moment
What about ebay? I managed to grab $500 credit to use on the recent deal so keen to get that utilised.
I have read up on the ebay iphones where they replace the guts with cheap bits. Especially stay away from the ones that say sensor not working - Because the cant fake the sensor.
Any guidance would be highly appreciated

    I'm an old person :) and I love my 6s- bought about 12 months ago on a Kogan special. I have 64g and after travelling a month O/S still have plenty of memory. Last iPhone was only 16g and I did go for a 128g mini iPad to go with 6s. Not saying that I'll never upgrade again but $1500 for a new X is out of my price range.

      Thank you for the feedback. 1500 is too much for me too let alone my parents. Getting ridiculous

    6 on iOS 12 is quite speedy.

      Did you have a 6 on ios 11 before? might be worth getting a 6 plus then and save a fair bit of money

      • Daabido on 24/09/2018 - 12:45

        Yes, it wasn't the best on iOS 11, but 12 has made a significant difference. I feel no need to upgrade now. I used https://youtu.be/8k0dRmg8te0 to extend my battery life significantly, but I will still take advantage of the $39 battery replacement before the end of the year to see me through the next couple of years.

          What’s this about $39 battery replacement??? Could u enlighten me?

    • gasman70 on 24/09/2018 - 13:18

      That’s good to know. I’ve a broken (screen) iPhone 6 and 6Plus here and didn’t know if it was worth getting them repaired to sell.

    Just curious what is sensor?

    Camera sensor? Fingerprint sensor?

    Thanks

    • ChatCPT on 24/09/2018 - 13:40

      Fingerprint - apparently the ebay china dodgy sellers cant replace the fingerprint sensor

    If you are after a local stock/warranty, Officeworks has iPhone 6s Plus 32 GB on their website for $647.
    I got the other day for one of my elder. Link

      thanks smokey - prefer min 64GB so I can get a few years of stress free storage issues

  • Blue Suby on 24/09/2018 - 21:13

    Have just seen 6s on catch of the day for $399-pre owned but 64g in gold or rose gold if colour no problem?

    • ChatCPT on 25/09/2018 - 11:23

      Thanks for this. Looks great but I really need the plus. Old mans eyesight is no good and he keeps misplacing his reading glasses

      • Blue Suby on 25/09/2018 - 11:37

        Haha- so do I. I just have all my fonts set large so I can read without glasses!
