Certified Refurbished Apple iPhone 6s – 4.7" Retina HD Display, Apple A9 Processor
The Certified Refurbished Apple iPhone 6s features a 1.85 GHz Apple A9 64-bit processor, 2GB of LPDDR3 RAM, up to 128GB of flash storage, and a 4.7-inch (11.9 cm) Retina HD display. Because the A9 chip was Apple's most significant generational leap, this 2015-era handset still handles everyday 2026 tasks—messaging, browsing, streaming, and social media—without hesitation, which means it remains a practical, cost-effective smartphone for light to moderate daily use.
Ideal For
This professionally restored iPhone is well suited for:
- First-time smartphone users – a straightforward iOS experience without the premium price of a current-generation iPhone
- Parents and children – robust parental controls, a solid camera, and a compact 4.7-inch form factor that fits smaller hands
- Secondary or backup phone users – keep it as a travel device or spare handset without worrying about damaging a flagship model
- Budget-conscious users – those who need reliable call, text, and app functionality and prefer not to pay for features they won't use
Key Features & Benefits
- Apple A9 processor: A 64-bit chip with an embedded M9 motion co-processor—because it handles tasks in hardware rather than software, routine use feels snappy and responsive
- 3D Touch display: The pressure-sensitive 4.7-inch IPS Retina HD screen (1334×750, 326 ppi) introduces context-sensitive shortcuts; pressing firmly on an app icon reveals quick actions, which means fewer taps to get things done
- 12MP iSight rear camera: Captures 4K video and 8-megapixel stills simultaneously with an f/2.2 aperture and 1.22-micron pixels—therefore low-light photos retain more detail than earlier iPhone generations
- 5MP FaceTime front camera: Records 720p video, making it capable for clear video calls on FaceTime, WhatsApp, or Zoom
- Second-generation Touch ID: The fingerprint sensor embedded in the home button is roughly twice as fast as the original, which means the phone unlocks almost instantly
- 7000 Series aluminium housing: The same aerospace-grade aluminium used in the iPhone 6s shell is notably stronger than the previous 6000 series, therefore it handles the minor drops and knocks of everyday use better
- Lightning connector: Compatible with millions of existing cables, docks, and accessories already in circulation
- NOTE: Charger brick is not included; a standard USB Lightning cable is required for charging
Common Questions
Can the iPhone 6s handle video calls while multitasking?
Yes. The 2GB of RAM and Apple A9 chip manage FaceTime or WhatsApp Video alongside messaging and music playback without dropping frames or crashing. In our testing, we routinely see smooth performance across two or three active apps simultaneously.
How does the camera compare to newer budget Android phones?
The 12MP f/2.2 iSight camera with 1.22-micron pixels and 4K video capability holds up well against similarly priced Android handsets. The image processing pipeline Apple built into the A9 means colour accuracy and dynamic range remain competitive for everyday photography in 2026.
Is the iPhone 6s still worth buying in 2026?
For users who primarily need calls, messaging, social media, and light app use, yes. The hardware is capable and the iOS ecosystem is polished. However, it is not recommended for users who rely on the latest iOS features, as Apple ended software support for this model, which means it will not receive further security updates.
