Apple- rotten to the core – Phone was ok for nearly 1 1/2 years but that’s where all the problems started. overheating when watching video content including video I had taken myself. Battery not holding charge & was getting worse. Took it to a Telstra shop who assured me there was no problem on 4 different occasions in 6 weeks ! Just out of warranty & guess what phone… Read more
refuses to turn on or be charged. Took it back to Apple in Doncaster, was served by a young lady who seemed to know what she was talking about. After over 30 minutes of trying to establish what the problem was , checking this , that & the other !!! Only to be told ‘ cannot get the phone battery to respond so Apple considers this as a dead unit & what we can do for you is offer you a replacement for $450’.......after a small pause in shock I asked if Apple would replace the battery & I would pay for the battery . I was repeated told Apple considers this phone as a dead unit & the best they could do is offer a replacement for $450.... YES ! I heard what you said the first 4 times.
When I asked what could have caused the overheating of the phone , the well trained employee again repeated the best Apple can do is offer a replacement for $450. When I said I was not interested in paying , she picked up her lap top & other equipment & cords & walked off on me !
What just happened? Did she just waiste over 30 minutes of my life in store & another hour travelling time ,to tell me to spend more money on a refurbished model that has so many well known problems .
DONE !FINISHED !!NEVER AGAIN WILL I SPEND ANOTHER CENT ON APPLE !!!!
To not even open the phone to see what went wrong is the worst customer service I have ever seen . I suppose that’s the best way to not find an ongoing problem with your products & therefore have to report that problem.
The Best Value Phone You Can Buy – Obviously my title is a bold statement. There are many fantastic budget phones on the market. I myself have previously owned a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro and a OnePlus 3T, both of which were (at the time) some of the best bang-for-buck smartphones you could buy. But they never felt complete. The battery would not last as long as I needed it to or the… Read more
camera quality was mediocre at best. The iPhone 6S is a phone that can be bought for approximately $300AUD used (I got my Gold 64GB for $299 at Cash Converters) and I actually sold my 7 Plus for this as the experience was near identical. The camera is fantastic. The battery always lasts through a full day and has amazing standby time (something Android severely lacks from my experience), the 2GB RAM and A9 chip still power through everything to this day and the screen is vibrant, bright and sharp. Best of all, it is the last iPhone with a headphone jack. Honestly as much as iOS sometimes infuriates me, it really is the best cheap phone I've ever owned. Definitely recommend picking one up if you find it cheap.
Small issues but good overall! – This phone runs smoothly, looks sleek and is a perfect size. Some of the older models had screens too small for my liking and newer ones are a little too big to be practical for me. The battery last a fair bit longer than the previous iPhone 5 that I had but still drains quicker than I'd expect it to. The only issues that I've really come across… Read more
with this phone is that:
- There is a spec stuck in the main camera that creates a smudge in all of my photos. I've been able to move the spec inside the camera but I have no idea how to get rid of it.
- The screen cracks very easily! I dropped it once and the top of my screen cracked, despite having a glass screen protector on.
- My phone seems to rattle quite a bit when shaken, I think there may be some loose pieces inside (possible a loosened screw?)
Overall, I think this is probably one of the better models of iPhones. I'd probably replace it with the same model if something were to happen with it.

Apple iphone 6s – This is my third apple iPhone & I’m really happy with it. I find it easy to use & my next one will be an iPhone. I don’t update to a new phone very often unless there’s a good reason to.
Love my Phone – Before this phone, I had an iPhone 4 which lasted so long and was my favourite phone, the best size for me and it worked great with no errors for so long! Switching to this one when that broke was great, it is basically an improved 4S and works amazing, great camera and sound on videos. Haven't even used half of my storage yet and I have a lot of stuff! Looking at upgrading to the new iPhone models soon :) Show details
Great storage – I got the best storage available, 128gb, and that's been super helpful because my last phone had no storage left. I love the rose gold colour and while there are newer versions out there, the 6s is still a great option. The only thing's that are making me think about getting a new one is portrait mode and the battery is not lasting long at all… Read more
and I've only had it a year which is shorter than I expect it to start dying.
When I'm doing video calls or netflix or bluetooth it zaps a lot more battery I've noticed.
Negative reviews
Great phone – I have been using HTC for a long time but the iPhone 6s is even now after 3 years still a good phone for day-to-day usage. Just feels it is getting slower and slower, with every iOS update. Not sure why that is. But I heard the same from a friend and she has a iPhone X!! Great value for money! Show details
Phone just stopped working and Apple Support suggests to trade in or spend hundreds to just replace – A 3.5 years old iPhone 6s just refused to connect to cellular network. Everything else is working. Took phone to Apple Support. Had a look and suggested to either trade in phone or spend hundreds to fix it. Googled and found out this problem is so widespread and cannot be due to normal wear and tear. Felt like a fool for spending so much on an iPhone and now stuck with a useless phone. Show details
Just Okay – Apple is the best of the best in mobile-phone market like many people said but for me, it's just okay. App got crash, phone suddenly turn off, battery not last long like other android phone's problems after using it for long term. The only thing I found good in iPhone is it save photos even after delete and it work pretty well with other Apple products but for other services, I gotta say it pretty much similar to these days android products.

Iphone 6 = ok – Camera quality is good, not insane. Pretty ergonomic phone, fits in your pocket easily and doesn't poke out. The battery is it's downfall, loses charge after a year or so.
Love it – Love it !! Hoping to purchase another one soon! Camera quality is great Back camera sometimes will shake and not work properly but other then that the phone is great! i love it Show details
Good Phone – Purchased second hand, after a couple years of use, still remains fast phone for general uses and games. Battery definitely is on the short side only about 6 hours on idle now. Touch ID is also broken, not sure what is the cause but I suspect it to be water damage. After the Touch ID broke, on some idle times, the Touch ID position would heat up… Read more
dramatically. Playing large games, which is common nowadays, the phone would heat up a lot. Other than that, there is no other noticeable degrade in performance, other than the compatibility issue that may happen soon.
Good Phone, Good software – Satisfied with this phone, very fast processor and does the job! Takes good photos, flawless but my only concern is that you can't download music from third party websites like you can with Android so that's a massive pain in the butt. Still satisfied with it happy customer. Recommend it Show details

Great phone, still hasn’t slowed down – Camera quality much better than previous models, I have lots of apps and it still hasn’t slowed down yet. Battery life seems to be holding up as well. I bought mine second hand and am impressed and the condition of the phone. Seems to be a lot more durable than my old iPhone SE which I had purchased previously. Show details
Perfect – Haven't had any problem with it at all. Got it to do ApplePay and it does that very well indeed. I find the size much more convenient than the plus models, particularly for jeans pockets. Only charge it twice a week most weeks and I use it for all incoming and outgoing phone calls and texts now and for a few hours during the garage sale run. Show details
Perfect phone – Bought iPhone 6s in mid of July 2015. To the date today still the best phone, service, features. Everything is just perfect. Model, colors & shape i am simply in love with iPhone 6s. Can’t imagine my life without my beautiful handset... thank you to the company. Show details
The best – This is my favourite iPhone model s far, stylish and sleek. it has beautiful features and a great slimline shape not like some of the older iPhone models, it's quick and barely has any problems since I purchased it, great phone and love how it just connects to the Apple TV in my house Show details
Good – It always works and never had a problem with the phone. I use it every day and I am on my phone all the time as I use it for personal and work. I only have to charge it at night and it lasts the whole day. The size of the phone is good as well Show details
Love my iphone – My iphone is so reliable. I have had other brands of phones and they have not been so dependable. I have dropped it a couple of times and luckily I purchased a case for it at the same time which saved it. I have had my phone for a couple of years now and it is still going strong. Show details
cant live without that phone – really good phone camera is very good but gets old with time love having so much storage very user friendly would definetly recomend very good size good for watching netflix can do everything on this phone its like a very very small laptop in my pocket i got it in grey Show details
Pretty good! – I do really love this phone! It is very good for photography, the storage is phenomenal! (I have a case on it) I have dropped it multiple times and it still works perfectly, apart from the battery. The battery on all apple products in general is shocking. I have only had the phone for 6 months and the lasting power from when i first got it (it would last a full day) to now (lasting half a day so i have to charge it throughout the day). Show details
Average for iPhone – This phone is pretty good, however can definitely see it has gotten a lot slower over the past 3 years, and also crashes a lot more. Screen cracks very easily. Too slow and not enough storage for me. Camera quality not great compared to new smart phones. Good size. sleek design. Show details

Not quite as good as the 7 but otherwise ideal – Bought outright never backed up or updated yet. Very slick nice screen,comfortable in one hand. Buy a mophie for extra battery can't be easier. Good for photos too I bought silver so no cover needed . . Didn't get damaged. Many people recommend this unless you want an iPhone X Show details

Camera is good, wifi connection and Bluetooth receiver is strong enough. Satisfied and happy IPhone user. Can’t go wrong with Apple purchase . Perfect for modern people with modern lifestyle! Show details
Best IPhone I’ve ever owned and I’m sticking with it – I’ve had this phone a couple of years now and I still love it. I hear people having to buy new earphones on the 7 model and that you can’t charge your phone while listening to music which all sounds odd to me. I’m sticking with my 6s and about to buy my partner one. Best iPhone I’ve ever owned. Never had any issues with it. Battery life is still great 2 years on and I still love it. Ps photos are fantastic! Show details
Love my iPhone – I’ve had this phone for two years, it is a fantastic phone, it takes fabulous photos, and is very easy to edit your favourite pics, I find it is the perfect size to carry with you on your daily activities, fits into my pockets quite easily, this phone does everything that I need in a phone and a whole lot more, I am still surprised when I learn of something else I can do on my phone, I would recommend this phone to everyone Show details
iPhone Is the Best – I am very much a iPhone girl. Every 2 years I update to the newest iPhone. IPhone 6s is a great easy to use phone. It’s stylish and practical. Battery life is great, picture quality could be better but is still good for a phone. iPhones are all you need! Show details
Good phone – Bought it second hand. Was told it was 2 yrs old and have had it a few months. Still good on battery life and reasonably fast. It has a good camera and takes great pics. Better than the Samsung equivalent by far. Have used apple for over 5 years now and recommend them. Show details
Fantastic Phone – Love my iPhone! Easy to use, good camera and good battery life. No longer keep a laptop or iPad as I find my phone does everything I need and more. Only drawback is that there is only one port for both charger and headphones. Generally not an issue but if you are low on battery and want to listen to music or watch YouTube you can’t chanrge at the same time. All round great phone. Show details
Fantastic phone – This phone is the Perfect size- not too big not too small. I Love the huge storage capacity as I use my phone as a camera and the range of applications available. I would recommend this phone to anyone. It is a shame it has been discontinued as it is the best phone I’ve ever had. Show details
Pretty Good – I bought the iphone 6s when it first came out and immediately had problems with battery power, however going into store I received a free battery replacement as it was part of the faulty battery program. The quality is good and I will continue to purchase apple goods in the future Show details
All you need! – still using the iPhone 6 I Like the even the smoothness of 3D touch, so you quickly access some features of the phone. Best thing is all the apps I think apple apps a better than android. You can make music tune your instruments. You can also set up a midi instrument with the phone and it will trigger internal sounds! Show details
Love it – Can’t believe I used to believe jumping from the iPhone 5 to 6 was a big size difference seeing the plus models out at the moment. I feel like this is the perfect size for me, I can comfortably use it with one hand as I’ve seen some people struggle reaching far corners with their iPhone plus. I’ve had this phone for over 2 years and it’s been… Read more
perfect with no issues. It’s not time for me to upgrade to the newer models yet as I’m still very happy with my iPhone 6s.
Surprisingly a good size – I stuck out with the older iPhones for a long time, thinking that the iPhone 6 screens were much too large. You know what they say, once you go black you can't go back. Well, I actually got a silver version but I certainly cannot go back to the smaller screens anymore! I intend to hang on to this for a long while as it does everything I need it to… Read more
do, and it's still got the headphone jack. The camera on this edition has been stellar, it does not automatically use a filter and pictures are always sharp. Battery use is average - it requires a nightly charge for moderate use (emails, social media, internet browsing, occasional videos). Users who constantly stream data (videos, music) may find themselves needing more power. No issues with software updates, appears to be working as quickly as when I first got it.
