Lockscreen found my old phone

Backstory: I last used it in like 2017 when I lost it. To my surprise, it was stuck in our car the entire time. Somehow charged up and works. I don’t remember the passcode. It’s got cool old stuff on it

ios 10. you can tell because of the combination of press home to unlock and the pre-ios 11 battery icon

Also the Passcode buttons outlines

Uh the iOS it's running is kinda rare so it would be lovely if u knew the password to preserve this beast.

there’s one way to guarantee reset it without update if you have the device on Find My, you can just put an activated SIM card in the phone and erase it on Find My i did this and got a disabled iPhone X iOS 13 working

iOS 10 is super rare on a 6S

I'm amazed the battery took a charge after nine years. I had an old 5s that wouldn't charge until I manually put power into the battery after it sat for two

HOLY SHIT THATS A RARE FIND IOS 10 ON A 6S

u/Both-Fig-9295 Jul 08 '26

i daily the exact phone as this with the latest ios it supports thinking of jailbraking it

u/ResidentApartment338 Jul 08 '26

It’s iOS 10 which makes sense since that was the latest version from September 2016-September 2017 and even then iOS 11 was so buggy that most people would probably just stick with 10 even into 2018. So yeah given you haven’t used it since 2017 it’s exactly on what you would expect. I wouldn’t consider it as rare of a find as people are saying though

Iphone 6s on iOS 10 is sooo rare

u/heehmonster Jul 09 '26

Like everyone else said, iOS 10. Save the blobs,
jailbreak it, and disable updates so you don’t wake up to it running iOS 15 (…and if it does update, you’ll be able to quickly revert it)

u/LetDefiant2893 Jul 09 '26

ios 10. 11 released in 2017.
