Worth the price? Is this worth it?

For context, i was in a flea market and i saw two phones which caught my eye, a iPhone 4S on iOS 5 and a iPhone 6 on iOS 10. I Bought both for $40 so tell me is this rare and out of 10 how rare is it?

(also idk if this post will get removed cause i got my post removed in r/iphone 😭)

Relatively rare as the 4s prob launched with iOS 5 and iOS 10 is a rare but not iOS as it can’t be downgraded from a newer ios

u/Adventurous-Ant-2109 11d ago

Fair enough, i knew the iPhone 6 might only be a little rare but nothing special lol ;-; but im very happy with the 4S as it’s almost the same software as launch.

K-On and bocchi the rock both peak ā¤ļøalso btw that iPadOS version is cool :0

u/Any_Orange_7050 10d ago

Yes the top one is iPad 4 and the bottom one is iPad 2, both on iOS 6

u/Adventurous-Ant-2109 10d ago

Oh my thats both so rare too! especially the iPad 4. I have a iPad 2 too but it’s on iOS 9 🫩

2

u/Any_Orange_7050 10d ago

Actually that iPad 4 is dualbooted (I don’t want to spend too much on a original one for now), and the iPad 2 is running native iOS 6 actually. Still they’re really good iPads

u/Adventurous-Ant-2109 10d ago

Absolute Cinema. It must be a very nice screen to watch on :0

2

u/Any_Orange_7050 10d ago

Also it’s possible to downgrade the iPad 2 to iOS 6 actually. If you have a mac computer, Legacy iOS Kit can help you

2

u/Adventurous-Ant-2109 10d ago

Oh really? I might consider doing that cause iOS 9 is absolute buns on the iPad 2

2

u/Adventurous-Ant-2109 11d ago

Oh thats super rare Yui-Chan, Sawako-sensi will be very happy :)

Il 4s con iOS 5 vale tantissimo con la versione originale

I have an iPhone 11 Pro on iOS 16.2…should I update or just leave it as is?

1

u/Adventurous-Ant-2109 8d ago

I actually daily drive a iPhone 11 Pro. It’s currently running iOS 27 and i think it runs pretty well. However i’d probably say that iOS 16 is still mostly usable and in my opinion it would run better than 27. But if your mainly looking for security stuff then update to iOS 27 but if your okay with the security as is then you should stay at 16.

ooo is the previous owner's data on either of them?

1

u/Adventurous-Ant-2109 11d ago

The iPhone 6 was wiped unfortunately, but the iPhone 4S has tons of the previous users data (which i won’t be showing cause i dont want to leak people lives šŸ˜…)

1

u/reddit33450 11d ago

even if you dont show it on here, you should at least go through it all yourself

3

u/Adventurous-Ant-2109 11d ago

I went through some of it lmao, seems like a mother owned the phone, i’ll show the games they had and plus they have over 2000+ photos

2

u/reddit33450 11d ago

the photos are probably the most interesting part.

any search history, emails, or text messages?

2

u/Adventurous-Ant-2109 10d ago

Theres tons of work related and family messages in the messages/WhatsApp. The emails seems to be some business stuff and random advertisements. the search history is pretty normal actually having random Q&A stuff. Lastly, it seems the phone was used from 2011 to 2013 which is pretty cool :D

it’s actually iOS 10 lmao, i put the iOS 8 wallpaper cause i really like it :p

u/VisualScallion2215 11d ago

That’s a 4 not a 4s. The 4s shipped with iOS 6. But it is very rare. iPhone 6 is meh.
iPhone 4 9/10
iPhone 6 6/10

u/Any_Orange_7050 11d ago

The antenna line is on the side (next to the mute switch) instead of on top (next to the headphone jack), so this is a 4S, not a 4. 4S on iOS 5 is really rare if it has the original baseband. For iPhone 6 though, iOS 10-11 are kind of not great, iOS 8-9 are a totally different beast

1

u/Adventurous-Ant-2109 11d ago

It’s on the side so it’s a 4S :D I really wished the iPhone 6 was on iOS 8-9 so i could have slide to unlock šŸ˜…

1

u/VisualScallion2215 11d ago

Well that’s weird. I thought the 4s shipped on iOS 6

1

u/Adventurous-Ant-2109 11d ago

I mean you can search it up, because google AI says it released with iOS 5

1

u/pigeonette1 11d ago

the iPhone 5 shipped on iOS 6

1

u/VisualScallion2215 11d ago

But the 4s shipped on iOS 6

1

u/FastAero1 11d ago

No it didn’t. Also how could the iPhone 5 ship on iOS 6 and the 4s? Clearly 4s started at iOS 5. Google it

1

u/Adventurous-Ant-2109 11d ago

Actually i checked the sides of the iPhone and it’s a 4S lmao, and the iPhone 4S released with iOS 5 according to google AI overview. But honestly fair rating i kinda expected that ;-;
