You have to count the original version, so 4S worked on 5,6,7,8&9. 4 additional 
versions beyond the launch one then.

Re: Curious question about iPhone upgrade life

[lenron brown]

I like having more than one device it makes it so I am not completely
killing the battery on my main device. I tend to use my windows comp
for most things but I use my phone for reading and paying bills and
all the app related things. I don't use my mac so much because, even
though it's a lovely computer. It doesn't allow me to enjoy gaming and
I have not really dug in to all the apps it offers. I was going to
finally get logic this morning but didn't because of the hard drive
being so small. I need to replace this 128 ssd.

RE: Curious question about iPhone upgrade life

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Fair enough, I also do a lot on my iPhone although I don't use it as my primary 
device for things like email or web browsing. I can do these things just so 
much more efficiently on my PC with Jaws and since my work requires me to use 
the computer pretty much all day or at least to have it right there the iPhone 
for me is a phone and an audio book player and when I'm out and about or just 
want to quickly read an email it does that. It also is quick and easy for me to 
use my iPhone if I just want to check an account balance, but if I have to pay 
several bills or do transfers I again go to the computer since often these are 
business related transactions and I have to print a confirmation for whatever I 
am doing and printing to PDF is just so much easier and faster in Windows.
Of course I use apps like Seeing AI and KNFB Reader and have a number of 
connected devices like thermostat, lights, my ring doorbell and so on where the 
iPhone is awesome, but except for when I actually broke one no iPhone ever 
since my 4 in 2010 has ever failed me where it quit working and I needed an 
immediate replacement so that is just not a worry for me. I guess if I did 
catastrophic damage to it or lost it as I did with my iPhone 6S initially 
that's a different story, but then it's not like I can't get a replacement in a 
couple of days in such a situation.

Sieghard

Hi Sieghard,
It is a very reasonable question. I suppose I started having two devices 
because I bought the iPad mini two back when I had an iPhone, I forget which 
one, who's battery life was Les by a good bit then that on my current 7+. Are 
use the phone an amazing amount, mostly because my old PC is pretty much 
useless except for those few tasks, like railing things I need to have, for 
which I keep it around. And I have been disappointed with the performance of 
the Mac, with entirely too much Safari busy for this busy or that busy. I'm 
hoping that the new operating system do out next week will finally bring 
improvement. I also used the iPad mini for occasional note taking in meetings. 
Now the iPhone 7 Plus does have a much better battery life. The other thing I 
found that I really like about having two devices is that if your iPhone goes 
out, which mine has, not this one but a previous one, you're not dead in the 
water in terms of accessing all the stuff in the ecosystem. I certainly do not 
see any need to upgrade to an 8+ from my 7+, although it is entirely likely 
that if by next year they're still selling the 8+, and the new models don't 
have a home button, I will probably get the 8+ because of the home button. And 
if a new iPod touch were to come out or even an SE that had a reasonable price, 
like the current ones, but with updated technology, I would be happy to have 
that, which could be used as a back up phone if my main one ever went down and

have played around with android devices over the last couple of years in the 
hopes that maybe they would fill many of my needs. You can get android phones a

my satisfaction.

Hi Mary,

What is your reasoning for having two devices? Don't get me wrong, everybody 
can buy as many as they want, but when I had my old 5S around after I bought my 
6S Plus I thought I'd use it at home like an iPod Touch, but the fact was that 
I never did because I find it just so much more convenient to have just one 
device. I can understand why some people might like an iPad, but I never got it 
why people have an iPhone and an iPod Touch or would want to have two iPhones.

Re: Curious question about iPhone upgrade life

Considering that they did a little bit of a refresh to the iPhone SE earlier 
this year, although not to the chip or anything like that, my guess is that 
they're going to come out with at least one more model of the se. That's what I 
hope anyway. you know, if they don't come out with another iPod touch, I would 
be awfully tempted to purchase an seas a second device, because my iPad mini 2 
it's just getting really too slow, and I am not going to pay the big bucks for 
a big iPad.

RE: Curious question about iPhone upgrade life

[Vicky Collins]

I just checked the Apple Store app here in the United States, and 
they are still selling the iPhone SE, at least for now, anyway..  
Looks like the 32GB is $349.00, while the 128GB costs $449.00.

From: Sieghard Weitzel Don't take this for granted, for one thing I would call it more 
like 4 years, I guess by the time iOS 12 comes out the 5S is 5 
years old, but if iOS 11 is the last update it gets then it's 
really supported for 4 years.  Anyways, my guess in the case of 
the SE it's maybe more based on the technology that is in the 
phone which is I believe a mix between 6 and 6S technology.  Bot 
th eSE and 6S/6S Plus have the A9 chip, but the SE for example 
does not have 3D Touch nor does it have the second generation

Re: Question about iPhone upgrade

[Scott Dollar]

Hi,

Yes, it is true.  It has to do with local wireless services.  It has nothing 
to do with Apple.


I do understand about this very clearly.  If the first phone is the main 
contract with the agreement with $40 or whatever, the second phone and more 
will be $20 per phone under the share contract like family or whatever.


Hope this help you.

Respectful,

Scott Dollar

20 bucks to upgrade fro 6 to 6s??? never heard as I have been with apple
store salesperosn who never mentions about costs of upgrading. I had iphone
4s for four years and no one had told me of extra money for upgrading as
they went along without problems as never mentioning as long as I am with
verizon.

I guess someone on phone might miusconcept the idea. the best thing is go to
att store and make sure of this and even go to apple store if there is apple

OOh dear, doubt you will get the same answer twice.

So, this is going to depend how much you want to pay, how much you want to
do, and how big you want a phone.

I'm sure you can do all the same on all models, and such differences there
are, I don't think are that major.
The SE is the smallest, but has the same fast processor as the 6S.  Last
year's 6 is higher priced over here than the SE.  Both the
6's are bigger, though about the same size as each other. If the idea of
that 3D touch thing appeals to you, then it is the highest
priced 6S.

Personally, I can't justify the extra price of either 6, let alone the
6-Plus's;  so would vote for the new entry level model SE, as
it is still near enough the leading edge to last as long as any of the new
ones.

Remember, even the 5S was considered large and slim when first bought out.

Re: Question about iPhone upgrade

[Wayne Merritt]

3D Touch is completely optional. It is turned on by default, but you
can easily turn it off in the Accessibility settings. And, you had
asked if any of the iPhones were "accessible," and the answer is that
they are all accessible. It depends on how big you want the screen and
how much you are willing to pay per month and for the phone. The S
phones are bigger than the older models, but you will probably get
used to the new size in no time. And then you may wonder how you got
along with the smaller phone for so long, grin.

Personally I would upgrade to the 6S, but it really needs to be your 
decision and you should go and check out both the 6S and 5SE at a store. The 
5SE upgrade should not cost you anything since it is free on contract. If 
you are coming from a 4S you really should look at the size of the 6S since 
you are jumping from a 3.5 inch phone to a 4.7 inch phone and you'll 
probably find that it at first will feel huge compared to your 4S. But if 
the cost of the 6S is not a problem and you don't mind the size then I would 
get a 6S, otherwise go with the just released 5SE. The 5SE does not have 3D 
Touch which is a feature which allows you press a bit harder on the screen 
to bring up various shortcuts. For example, on the home screen you could 
find the Camera app and press a bit harder on the screen to bring up a short 
menu with options to take a picture, take a selfi or start recording video 
all without first opening the camera app. Press harder on the phone app and 
you can directly find the first 3 entries in your favourite list and call 
them or tap on Create New Contact which sputs you directly into that screen 
without having to open the Phone app, selecting the Contacts tab and then

RE: Question about iPhone upgrade

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Personally I would upgrade to the 6S, but it really needs to be your decision 
and you should go and check out both the 6S and 5SE at a store. The 5SE upgrade 
should not cost you anything since it is free on contract. If you are coming 
from a 4S you really should look at the size of the 6S since you are jumping 
from a 3.5 inch phone to a 4.7 inch phone and you'll probably find that it at 
first will feel huge compared to your 4S. But if the cost of the 6S is not a 
problem and you don't mind the size then I would get a 6S, otherwise go with 
the just released 5SE. The 5SE does not have 3D Touch which is a feature which 
allows you press a bit harder on the screen to bring up various shortcuts. For 
example, on the home screen you could find the Camera app and press a bit 
harder on the screen to bring up a short menu with options to take a picture, 
take a selfi or start recording video all without first opening the camera app. 
Press harder on the phone app and you can directly find the first 3 entries in 
your favourite list and call them or tap on Create New Contact which sputs you 
directly into that screen without having to open the Phone app, selecting the 
Contacts tab and then tapping on Add. 

Regards,
Sieghard

I called AT&T and they said that with a contract my monthly bill would be 
around $20 more if I upgrade to a 6S. My question is specifically oriented to 
which one is more accessible. I'm not too skillful regarding iPhones.
What is 3D touch?

OOh dear, doubt you will get the same answer twice.

So, this is going to depend how much you want to pay, how much you want to do, 
and how big you want a phone.

I'm sure you can do all the same on all models, and such differences there are, 
I don't think are that major.
The SE is the smallest, but has the same fast processor as the 6S.  Last year's 
6 is higher priced over here than the SE.  Both the 6's are bigger, though 
about the same size as each other. If the idea of that 3D touch thing appeals 
to you, then it is the highest priced 6S.

Personally, I can't justify the extra price of either 6, let alone the 
6-Plus's;  so would vote for the new entry level model SE, as it is still near 
enough the leading edge to last as long as any of the new ones.

Remember, even the 5S was considered large and slim when first bought out.

Re: Question about iPhone upgrade

[Paul Richard McGann]

with my puzzled facial expression on my face.

20 bucks to upgrade fro 6 to 6s??? never heard as I have been with apple 
store salesperosn who never mentions about costs of upgrading. I had iphone 
4s for four years and no one had told me of extra money for upgrading as 
they went along without problems as never mentioning as long as I am with 
verizon.


I guess someone on phone might miusconcept the idea. the best thing is go to 
att store and make sure of this and even go to apple store if there is apple 
store near you.
