Wich version is this iPhone 6 running? Discussion

Got this iPhone 6 from a coworker and i'm guessing iOS 9 because the clock font is newer than the iOS 8 one, and it's also thinner than the iOS 10 one. Is it worth restoring?

Either iOS 9 or 10 I can’t tell which version this is past that. But I can tell you it’s (kinda) rare

Figured it´s on iOS 9. Swiped to from left to right and it showed the emergency call screen, wich I believe in iOS 10 you have to press the home button to have the option

Yeah then it’s probably iOS 9 then, doesn’t pangu9 work on 9.0-9.3.4 for 64bit or just 32bit?

I think it’s a cracked version of iOS!

if it's on 9.3.4 or below u can get an untethered jailbreak (iOS 9 goes up to 9.3.6)

9.3.6 is only for cellular A5 devices, for everything else the latest version of 9 is 9.3.5

9.x.x, kinda rare for an iPhone 6. Get the screen fixed first then do the Same iOS Wipe (if FMI off) or backup the ticket then Same iOS Wipe (if FMI ON)

u/electronicexploder 13h ago

I´ll try to get a cheap screen for it. Sadly it´s FMI on and the former owner doesn´t remember the account it´s linked to, but she might remember the passcode wich I would be able to see the account it has on, and she might still know the password to disable FMI (she has many icloud accounts, and just don´t remember wich one this device is in)

u/VintageMobile iPhone 6s, 9.0| 12h ago

Don't worry about the FMI. If you get the tickets out the FMI problem is good. However to do the Same iOS Wipe you should know if the phone is jbroken or not, since this has the same mechanism of "Erase All Contents and Settings" so it may encounter problems with jailbroken devices.

u/electronicexploder 12h ago

I'm sure it's not jailbroken as she's just a normal user. My plan is to fix it, try to disable FMI if she still remembers the password and just erase the device in settings.

2

u/VintageMobile iPhone 6s, 9.0| 12h ago

If she still remember the password then congrats! My practice applies best in the most common case is users really forget the Apple ID of those old devices. Let me know if there is any further problems.

yeah it may be worth restoring if you can get a screen for cheap, you can play older (32bit support) games and iOS 9 will run great with good battery life

u/GamingYouTube14 5h ago

From the photo and the comments, it’s iOS 9

Install legacy iOS kit, enter ssh ramdisk, erase content iOS 9+

u/FlappyDunkPlusIOS iPhone XS, 12.0.1 14h ago

It's iOS 9

Connect it to PC

A PC with iTunes installed

u/electronicexploder 14h ago

Did it but iTunes won´t show any info if the device is passcode locked. Tried DFU too but it still won´t show any info

u/cluelessarewe 9h ago

It’s… running…? Hmmm. Must be a cracked version.. not what I recall mine looking like 😜 appears to be an iOS 9.xxx but you can verify that with iTunes if you’re comfortable hooking it up to your computer.

u/electronicexploder 5h ago

I connected it to itunes but as it's passcode locked and, well, I can't put any passcode on it it won't show any info, but I figured it's iOS 9 because of the clock font and I can still can somehow "slide to unlock" to the passcode screen

u/Nike_486DX 8h ago

Ios 9 for sure, not really worth it as its glitchy as f. iOS 8.3 ftw

2

u/Basic-Opposite-4670 8h ago

iOS 9, because the clock font is still thinner than ios 10

2

u/X-weApon-X iPhone 8 Plus, 16.3.1| 7h ago

The native iOS for 6 was what? 8? My 6S+ came with 9.3.3…

1

u/electronicexploder 5h ago

Yes, shipped with 8 and got all the way up to iOS 12

2

u/J_W_I_ 3h ago

iOS 9, you can tell by the clock font. Good luck preparing!
