I'm hanging on to the old 6S until Apple bring back the headphone jack...

Well, you’ll probably have to hang on to it for a long time then, because Apple will not bring the headphone jack back. They never did that before for any port/hardware feature they removed afaik.

Yeah, its akin to holding out for wireless charging on a Pixel. Its dead and not gonna come back :c

In the meantime the iPhone SE is a good phone, has a good form-factor and still has a headphone jack.

I was going to hold onto mine for another year at least but the camera doesn't seem to work as of two weeks ago. I held out for 11.1 hoping it was a weird bug but that didn't do it. Must be hardware. Camera won't focus half the time and in video it won't stabilize at all.

I still use a Samsung S5 because of it's two radios - I can talk on a phone call and browse/charge a credit card/etc. at the same time.

The Camera on it started acting flaky about two weeks ago and it stopped getting pictures stored intact. So, I finally found a new open source camera app and it works perfect again. The default camera app seems to be buggy.

I wonder if a system update was engineered to 'encourage' a phone upgrade...
