| ![]() Is the iPhone 6S still good in 2019? There is an offer in Amazon for 20k. Want to upgrade my wife's 5S (with an ailing battery) and the new crop of iPhones are all heavy and bulky. 6S is the last iPhone with a headphone jack. |

Plenty of people I know are holding onto their 6S still working flawlessly. Better half uses an SE (which is essentially the 6S minus a few bits in a smaller form factor). It's a fantastic fill it, shut it, forget it option for a moderate user at that price, and looks great too. | |

| ![]() Call silence feature for unknown numbers on iOS 13 is useful. Especially helps Truecaller users who use the iPhone because that app is pretty pointless. |

XR is your best bet in terms of privacy and security. It's more secure with the A12 chip, that is secure against the recent checkm8 exploit. But on the flip side, the display is kind of a bummer, an LCD, glorified as a Retina LCD with True Tone which doesn't appear so nice, but X's QLED is still a lot better and crisp. Worth paying the premium, I would say yes - X's smaller screen size is more manageable and ergonomic than the XR, also it looks a lot more better and vibrant. But X has A11 chip which is currently vulnerable to checkm8 and insecure. If privacy and security is a factor for you, then go for XR with newer and better chip! Oh, and I miss the 3D-Touch in iPhone XR ![]() Also, you don't get Animoji in XR. Both of which, you get in X. In my personal opinion: Go for XR, bigger display (maybe ergonomically bad), newer chip - A12 with unmatched performance and improved security. It's overall a better package. | |

My advise would be to spend some more and get the 7, which I currently use as one of my primary phones (for rough usage) and it fares well, except for the battery backup which is getting poorer each day. Cheers! | |

Do you have a US source? Use 7plus with 128GB sell for around 300-350$ in excellent condition. Would make sense to snag a used 7 or 8 which would be very good. Infact a used 8 in less than 400$ would work very good. On the 6S, it depends on what apps etc., you are using. Works great for most people. Have friends using the 6S here and they get by fine using the regular google maps and stuff, but when it comes to prime video, netflix etc., the slight lag can be felt. So 7/8 is what you should try and get. | |

| ![]() I have been using the iPhone 8Plus for almost a couple of years, and am starting to feel ergonomic issues now. While it still works quite well and has a very good dual lens camera set up, I am somehow getting the need to 'downsize' . In this world of "slim fit and sharp fit" trousers, at age 45, a big 16:9 phone is a bit of a bother, if you know what I mean. But I am not able to see any decent medium size high performance phone other than the iPhone 11 Pro, that's an upgrade worth around 69K. Slightly more than what I paid for the 8Plus two years ago. Thats likely to invite more than just a frown from the Missus. |

Please don't waste 20k on a terribly outdated phone. | |

| ![]() I have an iPhone SE bought in 2015. Recently updated to iOS 13.1.1. Funnily now it seems to have 3D Touch. Can anyone tell me if it was always there? |

| ![]() Is there an easier way to block spam messages from the messaging app, other than clicking on the i, and then open the contact and block it? |

If you want to hide alerts the easiest way is to swipe left and click on hide alerts. For blocking I think you need to follow what you do. |
