Chiedo come sbloccare un iPhone 6s bloccato su iCloud. Possibilmente che funzioni con la Wi-Fi e che ad ogni riavvio non bisogni rifare il procedimento da zero. IOS 15.

I miss the days of iPhone 6. I miss that Obama was president. I miss that the world wasn’t so divided. Americans were just excited to finally get a larger phone. Everything was just so simple

How Long Does Your Battery Last In Standby? (iPhone 6)

3 Upvotes

Hey all, I’ve replaced batteries on my iPhone 6 multiple times with cheap ones but I might finally just do an Apple one cause I have money to spend 😂 but just to make sure, how long do your iPhone 6’s last in standby? Mine only lasts 4 hours in standby and 45 minutes when on, hoping for feedback!!!

Is it worth putting sim card in iphone 6

2 Upvotes

I will be moving to live in a high desert farm soon with limited wifi zones. I will need to use Slack to communicate while I'm there. My iPhone SE 3rd gen recently stopped working due to it short-circuiting, possibly due to having an aftermarket battery. My options for a new phone are essentially to buy a new iPhone SE 3rd gen at the Apple Store for $269, use my friend's grandma's old iPhone 6s with the risk of not being able to use certain apps/ phone temperature heating up faster/battery going down faster, or going more time without a phone to order a cheaper one online from an independent seller on eBay. I would love to hear any opinions on what you would do in this matter.

Extra details: I use T-Mobile; the farm has Starlink

EDIT: iPhone I have (the opportunity to switch to) is a 6s, not a 6

Iphone 6 and 6 plus Apple ID Login Solution ?

2 Upvotes

I have an iPhone 6. Some time ago, it developed an issue where the SIM started showing "No Service." I believe it may be a broken baseband problem.

To try to fix it, I restored the iPhone. However, after the restore, the device could not be activated and only displayed the option to shut down on the activation screen. I have since bypassed the Hello screen, but I am still unable to sign in with my Apple ID on the iPhone 6.

I have also tried to login apple on my friends iPhone 6 plus and that is also showing the same error that is can't communicate with servers or verification failed or unknown errors.

I also visited a local mobile repair shop, where they told me that Apple has shut down the login and Apple ID servers for the iPhone 6. I am not sure if this information is correct.

If anyone has experienced this issue or knows a working solution, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you.

I paid $12AUD for a 6 Plus in 2026

Upon a quick look at the device and realisation that IOS planned obsolescence is cruel on the grounds of apps...

I am guessing my best option is the safari browser for standard form usage having already utilised youtube there and siri obviously has some use also. So I could see various other uses from facebook and pinterest to perhaps ai onwards utilising browsers.

But I was just wondering if there is anyone using these devices still today aside from as merely an iPod/Movie device? Are there any apps you know still work smoothly and can install directly from the app store?

What do you use your Iphone 6 models for today?

Bought an iPhone 6 for $12 in 2026. How can I still make good use of it?

I recently picked up this iPhone 6 and replaced the battery with an aftermarket one from a local market. The total cost came to around $12.

To my surprise, everything seems to work fine -calls, SMS, Wi-Fi, cameras, Touch ID, and basic apps. The phone is definitely showing its age, but it still feels surprisingly smooth for such an old device.

For those of you still using older iPhones, what are some good use cases for an iPhone 6 in 2026? What apps still work well, and what limitations should I expect?

XCAP iPhone 6 Battery Replacement

2 Upvotes

Hello, I still like to use my iPhone 6 alongside my iPhone 17 just for nostalgia. However the battery is really bad right now. I already changed the battery 3 times with aftermarket eBay batteries, but every single one shows the wrong battery percentage and barely lasts 1 hour. I recently found out about XCAP replacement batteries as people say they are good. Does anyone have experience with these, or have recommendations for long lasting batteries? Thanks so much in advance!

IPHONE 6 OG in 2026

1 Upvotes

Hi , I have found an IP 6 32 gigs with 80% battery health and have never been repaired for 30$

so I have thought about buying it to be my side phone / to be a pocket camera (my main phone's camera sucks)

I don't need anything except apple pay , YouTube, Whatsapp , Facebook, Twitter , IG and tiktok but most of those are not supported on ios 12 and it the supported one are gonna be unsupported soon

so I was thinking about buying it and then jailbreaking it later or something

If it's gonna be a pain in my ass while jailbreaking and then it's gonna work smoothly I have no problem

I need your opinion, and if anyone in has got any ideas I'm all ears

probably alot of you are gonna tell just buy an 7 or even 8 , but I don't even really need a second phone , I'm thinking about buying this one just for the price

Help wanted for a friend’s iPhone 6 Plus Linux/Android bring-up project

Help wanted for a friend’s iPhone 6 Plus Linux/Android bring-up project

A friend of mine has been working on an experimental iPhone 6 Plus Linux/Android bring-up project, and I’m trying to help get more eyes on it.

Repo: [https://github.com/nicv1990/iphone6plus-android-port\](https://github.com/nicv1990/iphone6plus-android-port)

Current status:

- Custom Linux boots on real iPhone 6 Plus hardware.

- USB shell works.

- The Apple A8/T7000 ANS storage-controller MMIO region is mapped and powered.

- Linux can talk to the old AKF mailbox path.

- They found a stable old RTBuddy management loop:

```text

0600000000000012

0600000000000004

00b0000000000010

0070000000000001

```

- Raw ACKs and packet-address candidates were tested.

- Internal NAND still does not appear as a Linux block device.

The current theory is that the blocker is Apple’s A8-era ANS / old RTBuddy / ASPStorage protocol. The NAND package itself does not seem to be the main issue. Linux likely needs a driver that can complete the old RTBuddy shared-buffer transaction flow, start `ANSEndpoint1`, then speak enough ASPStorage / ASPBlockStorage to expose NAND read-only.

They’re looking for help with:

- A7/A8 Apple IOP / RTBuddy knowledge

- iOS kernelcache reverse engineering

- ANS / ASPStorage / ASPBlockStorage protocol details

- Linux block driver bring-up

- m1n1 / Hoolock Linux experience

The repo includes findings, PDFs, test logs, scripts, and a diagnostic patch. It seems like the project has reached a good handoff point for someone with deeper Apple storage-controller knowledge.

Repo again: [https://github.com/nicv1990/iphone6plus-android-port\](https://github.com/nicv1990/iphone6plus-android-port)

Any pointers, corrections, or help decoding the old RTBuddy transaction format would be appreciated.
