You’ve spent a decent amount of money to get your hands on the iPhone 6S, one of Apple’s most powerful smartphones to date, so you’ll want it to last quite a while. The best way to ensure that happens is to buy some accessories designed to protect it.

One of the key features of the iPhone 6S is 3D Touch, which is built into the Retina display, and if you use your phone regularly, it’s going to become one of the many features you’ll grow to love. So, to protect that gorgeous display and retain access to all of its features, you’ll need a screen protector made with the iPhone 6S in mind. It’s just a matter of figuring out which one to get — below are a few of our favorites.

The Best

Zagg InvisibleShield HDX ($25)

The Zagg InvisibleShield HDX is sure to protect your precious iPhone 6S from any unfortunate accidents that may befall it, while maintaining the display’s crystal clear image. Handy tabs make applying the protector a breeze, and it’s just as easy to remove. Thanks, in part, to the clever materials Zagg uses, even the clumsiest person will be pleased with the performance of the InvisibleShield, as small scratches disappear by themselves thanks to its self-healing ability. And if it’s ever severely damaged, Zagg offers a Limited Lifetime Warranty on every screen protector. For as long as you own your iPhone 6S, they’ll replace a worn or damaged InvisibleShield for free. 

 

The Rest

Moshi iVisor Glass ($26+)

Moshi’s iVisor Glass is a 0.3-millimeter, round-edged screen protector that covers the entire front of the iPhone 6S, much like a traditional face-plate. The iVisor Glass ensures both your display and the oft-ignored outer edges of the iPhone will also remain scratch-free, and you won’t have to worry about wiping the screen with your finger or a cloth to get rid of unwanted smudges or oils. Plus, while it might be challenging to apply a screen protector without creating a bunch of air bubbles, Moshi guarantees you’ll walk away without producing any annoying bubbles that blemish your display.

 

Tech21 Impact Shield ($35)

The Impact Shield boasts an ultra-thin, multi-layer protector that uses some of the same materials used to create bulletproof glass. Tech21’s offering is also perfect for people who use their phones a good deal while outside, as its anti-glare capabilities will enable you to maintain perfect clarity; no more trying to put yourself between your phone and the sun just to make out what’s on the screen. Even better is that, in the event the Impact Shield fails you, you can get it replaced quickly and, best of all, for free. That said, we still wouldn’t recommend shooting it — you know, just to be safe.

 

Daswise Tempered Glass Protector ($10)

Daswise’s full-screen, edge-to-edge protector is the best available at its price point, which makes it hard to ignore. It’s another protector that covers the entirety of the iPhone’s front face, and when paired with the right case, it’s going to be very difficult to notice there’s a screen protector applied at all. Be it a small drop, or a dramatic fall from more than 8 feet up, Daswise’s tempered glass protector will do the job. And with the money you save, you can buy screen protectors for your other devices, too.

Spigen GLAS.tR SLIM HD ($8+)

Spigen’s GLAS.tR SLIM HD is a tempered glass protector with rounded edges that aims to offer more comfort when holding your iPhone. The kit only comes with one protector, but the bundled wings make its application as easy as possible, and save you from having to place your hands on the phone during the process. Wet and dry wipes are also included in the package, along with a microfiber cloth and a dust removal sticker. Be careful applying it, however, because the GLAS.tR isn’t covered by a lifetime warranty like other screen protectors on our list. The company only offers a discounted replacement, and only within a year of your original purchase date.

The iPhone 16 Pro has won its fair share of plaudits, but two of its biggest strengths have also troubled users. Recently, there were reports of camera-related woes that resulted in a non-responsive camera app and other related bugs. Now, it’s the display that has left many users unhappy. 

“I noticed that my iPhone has a yellowish display tint. Even with True Tone off and night mode off. I love the feel of this phone but the whites being yellow throws my experience off,” says a user report on the official Apple community discussions forum.

It’s the end of the road for these two iPhone models
Apple iPhone 6S Plus

Seeing your favorite handheld gaming device in a retro store has a unique way of making you feel old, but Apple might have topped it. According to the company, the iPhone XS Max and iPhone 6s Plus are now "vintage." They join the ranks of the iPhone 4 and even the iPad Pro 12.9-inch model.

It's not wholly unexpected. Apple declares a device vintage after five years, and that means it becomes more difficult to have that device repaired or to find replacement parts for it. Obsolete is applied to products that are more than seven years old, but sometimes certain variants get that label early.

The best iPhone 15 cases in 2024: our 20 favorites

Even though Apple has launched the iPhone 16, last year's model isn't going anywhere yet. In fact, the iPhone 15 is now a better buy than ever since Apple is selling it at a lower price — and you can find even deeper discounts online and from many carriers.

The iPhone 15 marked a watershed transition in Apple's standard iPhone lineup. It was a significant jump ahead of its 2022 predecessor, packing in the most significant camera improvements for a standard model since the iPhone 11 adopted the dual-lens camera design in 2019. That put it ahead of its time, and it's still a compelling choice against this year's iPhone 16, especially if Apple Intelligence isn't your cup of tea.
