The iPhone 6s was a landmark iPhone that introduced 3D Touch and the A9 chip, earning a reputation for receiving software updates for many years. However, it no longer supports the latest iOS 27, which means it misses out on new features, long-term software support, and future app compatibility. We no longer recommend the iPhone 6s in 2026. Instead, we recommend the iPhone SE (2nd Gen) or iPhone SE (3rd Gen), both of which retain the familiar Home Button and Touch ID design while offering dramatically better performance, longer software support, and significantly better long-term value.
