I have an iphone 6 thats about 2 years old that has shite the bed

back camera doesn't work and battery has gone to shite

I do not want to pay $500+ for the newer models. I was eyeing a 6S off swappa.

Realistically what kind of life can I expect to get out of an old iphone? I bought my iphone 6 new and its done after 2 years. Should I stay hopeful that I happen to get a good unit or should I expect any old model iphone that I buy secondhand to run downhill with quickness?

If you switch the battery at an apple store it should be good as new

I always buy used.

I hear good things about Swappa, but usually use FB marketplace.

You can return things on swappa. Facebook not so much.
