BTW, every one says this - but nobody uses it like a daily driver. Yes, it will ...

I'm still using a 6s Plus 128GB. I keep thinking about getting a new one, but this one still works great. Haven't found a slow app yet. Everything is still responsive. Screen is still scratch free. And it's going to get iOS 14 this year. Even though it was relatively expensive when new, it's probably been one of the best values in tech I've ever seen. And yeah, it's a daily driver. Use it for everything.

My iPhone 6 is my daily driver.

You should try using it before telling people it doesn’t work.

None of these apps are essential even in the developed world where anyone who uses Uber regularly can probably afford a newer iPhone, these apps also run just fine on a 5s/6 which can be found for under $150 without much issues.

My partner used a freshly cleaned 6 for a month due to a cracked screen on their usual phone, and it was perfectly fine.

Literally millions of people use these phones as their "daily driver." They work perfectly well. Maybe people are still using them from when they were new, other people buy them used, or buy the iPhone SE, for exactly the reason you suggest: they don't need the latest and greatest.

Most people don't need the latest and greatest.

I exclusively used a 1st gen SE until a few months ago. All of my dozens of installed apps worked great - and still do in fact.

iPhones very strictly limit background processing. This isn't a problem whatsoever, Uber doesn't take up 16GB of storage.
