There should be plenty of iPhone 6 around and when the new iPhones come out this fall there will probably be plenty of the 6S/6S Plus for sale as well. It all depends if you absolutely need a phone now or if you can wait another 4 months. The person who said they are looking to upgrade to an SE is definitely not making that great a choice at this stage. Sounds like they have a 5S and again, unless it doesn't work well at all and they totally need a new phone now I suggest to wait. The SE is a generation newer, but while it was released after the 6S/6S Plus, it has the older, first generation touch Id home button which was in the 5S and the 6 and 6 Plus. The 6S and 6S Plus have the second generation Touch Id sensor which is more reliable and faster. I am quite sure there will be a new 4 inch phone coming out as well so if somebody absolutely wants that smaller size they should maye wait and see what Apple announces in September. The Apple world wide developer conference is the week after next, here Apple will introduce iOS 11 and we may start to get some ideas based on iOS 11 features what is coming and certainly the rumours will soon start to become more accurate as to what hardware may come in September.

It is running fine. It is running iOS 10.3.2 without a problem. It is the first of the 64 bit processers. I don't know how long Apple will continue to support them, but I have no plans to update until it dies.

Apparently this particular phone has IOS 7 currently installed. Thanks, Rick -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
