On September 10, 2014, iPhone 6/6 Plus was officially released! With this new iPhone, Apple successfully occupied the global market and completely laid the foundation for iPhone to be king.
It can be said that at that time, Apple was able to become the second largest mobile phone brand in the world, and the iPhone 6/6 Plus made an indelible contribution.
As the world's highest-selling model of all Apple models (as of now) , iPhone 6/6 Plus has cut the amazing sales of 2.224 billion units worldwide.
is close to 250 million units of the legendary model "Nokia 1100" with the highest sales volume in mobile phones.
This wave! Cook is a big deal...
Even today, iPhone 6/6 Plus is definitely unprecedented. It is mainly compared with the current decline of iPhone 14/14 Plus, which is indeed difficult to surpass.
As early as February this year, Apple had added iPhone 6 Plus to the " obsolete product list ".
This fruit was also given to you a little bit of popular science at that time.
is according to Apple's official explanation of " obsolete product ":
obsolete product refers to products that Apple has stopped supplying for sales for more than 5 years but less than 7 years.
and 6 Plus was discontinued in 2016, which is indeed in line with Apple's regulations on outdated products.
At that time, there were many friends with question marks on their faces? ? ? Why are 6 and 6 Plus launched at the same time? 6 Plus was declared as an outdated product earlier, but the smaller 6 didn't?
This fruit is very impressive!
fruit clearly remember that the small iPhone 6 is still on sale in 2018 , and even in 2019 , there are still a large number of brand new 32GB new versions of sold.
(Wait! 32GB? Cook can! It was only 16GB and 64GB in the early days. I only sent 32GB after I sold it almost the same?)
At that time, I was about JD about 2300... I could still fall below 2000 if I received the coupons!
In India, iPhone 6 was also re-listed at the time.
is being sold as a low-cost entry-level “ cheap ” iPhone.
is more expensive than in China! It seems to be about 2800 yuan in RMB...
entry-level " cheap "? ? ?
, and the later version of the packaging box has also been replaced with the super beautiful " pure white " box to the front printed " flower " box of the same 6s model.
B grid is instantly dropped.
So, that's one of the reasons why iPhone 6 Plus was listed as outdated products earlier than iPhone 6.
is because 6 was still selling at that time, and 6 Plus was discontinued!
, but the most important thing is that Guozi believes that the set of A8 chip + 1GB of storage in the core configuration.
was originally very limited in terms of the A7 chip + 1GB running memory installed in the previous generation 5s. The 6 with a slightly smaller screen is already very difficult to use.
With a larger screen and higher resolution 6P, the A8 chip burden will be even greater! Whether it is daily apps or games, 6P will be slower than 6 or even 5s.
has been upgraded to the latest version of iOS, and 6P is even more stuttering than 6 and 5s!
led to the " PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds: Stimulating Battlefield " that had just logged into the mobile game at that time.
can’t even play.
Daily App is like opening WeChat and loading for half a minute, so I won’t say much about fruit!
summary: the chip performance is similar to the previous generation, the same memory, but the larger screen and rendered pixels are still equal to the experience of A8 and A7 (or even worse) .
This is the main reason why 5s and 6 were sold longer than 6P, and 6P was listed earlier as the " outdated product ".
Of course! Market strategy is one aspect, and the model configuration cannot keep up.
such as " curved door "
" screen touch failure "
" design defect "
and other problems.
is destined to go far in the 6 series.
And just two days ago, on October 1, iPhone 6 was finally added to the " obsolete product " list by Apple.
At this point, the brilliant iPhone 6 series has officially retired.
Under the hot search on Weibo, many netizens are also discussing the N types of " life " after the retirement of the machine.
such as desktop alarm clock, MP3, backup sub-machine, etc....
and even " back-end ", netizens have found it!
Thinking of this model released 8 years ago, it can be sold for 100 yuan now, which is indeed quite " value-preserving ".
However, this worn-out iPhone 6 in Guozi's hand is no longer sold! After all, the meaning of the things inside and this model is self-evident to Guozi.
Of course, although 6 and 6P eventually became " outdated product ".
However, Apple Store direct stores and Apple authorized service providers will continue to provide 2-year repair services for outdated products (the specific duration depends on the supply of parts) .
There are also iPhone 6 and 6P friends on your hand. If it breaks, it can still be repaired.
If Apple opens the " old system " channel to restore outdated old models, then it will be awesome!
It's a pity... Just think about it...
