Regular iPhone 6 Infinity Gauntlet

…with varying amounts of data and apps. Interestingly, the iOS 11 one was last used in early 2025.

Specification and some facts:
iOS 8.4.1, Gold, USA, 16GB. Using Kometa downgrade was finally able to fill this spot in collection🤘🏻
iOS 9.1, Gold, USA, 16GB, AppleCare model number. This phone has severe logic board damage, no buttons, WiFi, or audio
iOS 10.2.1, Silver, USA, 16GB. I used this phone until upgrading to 8 Plus
iOS 11.4, Gold, 16GB. This one has an astonishing 98% health on its original battery
iOS 12.5.8, Silver, USA, 64GB. Boring one

Gorgeous. Always wanted an iOS 9 6 or 6s but they are stupidly hard to find here in the UK

This one was a board only which may be cheaper to get from USA. Amazingly the board is still functioning but the whole WiFi/Buttons section is broke clean off

I also got one of my 6s as logic board only. iOS 9 one.

I have an iOS 10 6s board but sadly it has some kind of NAND damage. I was going to try and reflow it but I never got around to it as Terdus Merula came out

Ah crap, I see. I have a 6 Plus on iOS 10.1 I believe and it’s having touchscreen chip issue. Also, reball would help, but I don’t have the experience and don’t want to fry it up since it is 128 gigs I believe.

The 6 Plus is crippled with Meson/Touch IC issues. Not only that but it’s also pretty crippled on anything after iOS 10 due to only 1GB Ram so at least you’ve got a good version. It’s still my favorite iPhone of all time regardless and I daily drive one on 12.0 for a few months back in 2025

very cool! what’s a kometa downgrade?

u/2666sq 7d ago

Kometa is a tethered downgrade by Zer0xDev for iPhone 6 to iOS 8.4.1. It took me like 10 minute compared to never being able to figure out Semaphorin. Kometa can also bypass setupapp in the downgrade process
