iPhone 6s: Is Type C Mod Possible

Mon, 25 May 2026 09:31:59 -0700

I've had enough of carrying around 2 different types of cables and the Lightning charging port on my iPhone 6s recently stopped functioning, so I was wondering whether I can mod a Type-C charging port onto it. I have some experience on microsoldering but have no idea whether it would work. Can anyone tell me whether this is doable?

iPhone 6s: Is unlocking Apple ID possible with CPU swap

Mon, 25 May 2026 03:25:56 -0700

I was stupid enough to believe that an 10$ iPhone 6s that's almost new have no Apple ID, and now I have a 10$ paperweight & have no idea what to do with it. I've tried some common methods, like Lockra1n & some other tools that're supposed to work but they didn't. I was wondering whether it'll be possible to replace the whole CPU to get rid of the ID lock instead of replacing the whole motherboard because the phone had 64Gs of storage and I honestly don't want to be scammed again and end up with another ID-locked motherboard. Would replacing the whole CPU work or do I simply have to accept the fact that I've wasted my 10$?

iPhone 6s: Can I upgrade to iOS 16 or Higher

Mon, 18 May 2026 11:38:46 -0700

I have kept my iPhone 6s running with a battery replacement far longer than Apple intended. It works fine but now app publishers are demanding an iOS version newer than v. 15.8.2 (the latest version.

NYTime iPhone app for example demands at least iOS 16.

Is there a way to work around these limitations and upgrade the iOS?

This is a way for Apple to stop Right to Repair by Replacing it with right to use.

Apple is having sales problems with the iPhone 15 so they want to break older iPhones by making them obsolete.

iPhone 6s: Battery charging and draining fast

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 07:27:32 -0700

I know the 6s is pretty irrelevant at this point but I’m running into an issue. The phone seems to be charging and dying at a very fast rate. It seems to only deplete while using it though. I have rust replaced the battery and it says life is at 100% but nothing has changed. I think this may have started when I used one of those new fast iPhone chargers that come with the 11. Is this a U2 ic replacement?

iPhone 6s: Won't turn on after screen replacement

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 17:33:44 -0700

Ok I replaced my Iphone 6s screen today. At first before I took off the old screen the worked despite the digitizer and lcd being broken. So I took off the old screen and put the home button and everything back in the correct way. The new screen won't show anything. When I plug it into my macbook it asks for permission and to confirm it on the screen. Does that mean the phone is still on and I just can't see anything on the screen? I've tried the holding down the power button to reset it that didn't do anything. I've tried holding down power and home to no avail. I've tried shining a light at it to see if the backlight was messed up the screen doesn't show anything. Any other suggestions?

iPhone 6s: Why did the new IFIXIT battery swell up in less than a year?

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 20:34:35 -0700

I ordered a replacement battery kit from IFIXIT for my iPhone 6S in April 2023. The installation went OK and the instructions were easy to follow. The phone had some use after the new battery was fitted, but recently has been mostly idle. It was left switched off for a while, then connected to power to re-charge. I now find that the battery has swelled a lot and is bending the screen outwards by about 5mm. Is is usual for the IFIXIT battery to fail so soon?

iPhone 6s: iPhone stuck in Boot Loop only when plugged in to power outlet.

Tue, 23 Dec 2025 20:59:52 -0700

Hello everyone,

My iPhone 6s fell this past weekend and since then has been stuck in a boot loop (apple logo appears and disappears) whenever it is plugged in to an outlet.

Ultimately I'd like to pull the data out of my phone via iTunes backup, but the problem I'm facing is that my iPhone does not seem to boot up when plugged in to my PC's usb port.

Anyone have an idea how I can enact atleast a bootloop on a PC or get my turned off iPhone recognized in iTunes?

I tried finding answers via search, but nothing seems to touch on the issue of my iPhone not booting when plugged in to a usb port on the PC.

Thank you.

iPhone 6s: Screen wont fit after replacement (the bottom part)

Sun, 02 Nov 2025 16:25:26 -0700

Hi! I ordered a replacement screen for my broken iphone from China and i replaced the screen succesfully. Seems to work fine but the bottom part near the home button doesnt close properly. Im afraid to press it too much because i am afraid it will break. I was able to screw back the pentalope screws but the corners wont go in. Has anyone else had this problem? Maybe the dimensions of the replacement screen are off a bit?
