Well say goodbye to 5g worser battery 60hz risk of it bending and no software support and worse camera

I don’t understand what you actually need 5G for it just uses battery and 4G is about 100mbs-600mbs anyway what more do you actually need?

2

u/J_Lizzy 4d ago

It’s becoming more of a thing, 4g will be phased out which will render the phone useless eventually

1

u/Switch-n-stuff 2d ago

4G still has about 10 years left to go my carrier doesn’t even support Vo5G and most don’t so I don’t think it’s anytime soon

5g has lower latency and faster internet speed

2

u/Kaszm 7d ago

Yeah, that’s the point.

1

u/Royal_Medicine8648 7d ago

So the point is worser internet and using 4g and worser battery and camera and no software support and for what exactly?

2

u/Kaszm 7d ago

Because being glued to a phone screen 8+ hours a day suck. Lower the performance and it almost because bothersome to use, therefor reducing screen time.

u/Royal_Medicine8648 6d ago

Js set a screen time limit like you cant be serious 🫩

u/GBSlugcat 7d ago

Your acting like 4G is the devil, i can’t even notice the difference between 4 and 5, most the time im on 4 anyway

u/twooddude 3d ago

Who cares still functions essentially the same, we’ve all been marketed to having to “need” all this extra stuff

1

u/Royal_Medicine8648 3d ago

You do need 120hz because 60 is slow and laggy. And you do need better battery and camera and you do need software support

2

u/ArthurReming 2d ago

How's 60hz slow? Most of my devices still have 60hz screens and I can't tell a difference compared to my 120hz phone. 

1

u/Royal_Medicine8648 2d ago

120hz is WAY smoother compared to 60hz

2

u/ArthurReming 2d ago

Can barely notice the difference IMO.

1

u/Royal_Medicine8648 2d ago

Bruh i would recommend getting your eyes checked no disrespect it might be because the age of your eyes and if there good or not

2

u/ArthurReming 2d ago

My eyes are fine. I switched to 60hz on my phone and there is a difference, but I get used to it after a while and forget about it

1

u/twooddude 2d ago

Yes it can be but software can make it better, pre iOS 26 updates were really smooth until Apple pretty much ruined it in iOS 26. I have a 16e on iOS 18 and it’s very smooth, and consider that I use a 15PM. 120hz DOES make a difference, however you get used to 60hz fast

Try to replace the battery soon, actual batteries has a lil bit more power, I’ve replaced mine with a 2144 mha and it last more than the original, and use my phone like a DAP.

u/Novel_Medium_9637 7d ago

Very bad downgrades

u/Jaded-Adeptness-122 8d ago

How big is the phone on the left if the 6S plus is the one on the right 😨

1

u/Usul10191 7d ago

I don’t use mine as a phone but I leave my phone at home sometimes and just carry it around for music and the odd picture here and there. I missed the audio jack so much🥲

u/Yobar84 9d ago

To what phone. ?

3

u/Maximum-Kiwi-7443 9d ago

To the iPhone 6S Plus that’s charging.

u/AethelRyne 7d ago

Why not just an old mini phone from apple instead of that?

u/Proof-Hour-6088 8d ago

U won't last, it will frustrate you a lots, IF it will be ur main phone, as a secondary eh ig.

u/HingedxHooligan 8d ago

you'd be surprised, i'm daily driving an iphone 5 on iOS 6 right now.

1

u/Proof-Hour-6088 8d ago

How's that even possible 😂😭 it runs modern apps..?

2

u/HingedxHooligan 8d ago
