Good idea, but prenup still leaves me with roof problem.
Apple still best when it comes to customer service.
Yes. They admitted it wasn't right I should have to pay to fix my broken phone from touch disease when I had reported issue (so it was documented) before they admitted to the design flaw. Now just hoping it lasts long enough for the iPhone 8 I will replace I with.
It's their customer service that is a large part of my liking their products

For me it wasn't the ram, it literally was the touch disease design flaw. My friend who didn't have apple care is having all the issues I had before 6+ was replaced -- slow, unresponsive to touch, touch ID won't oftwn recognize fingerprints.
Franky the 6+ should have been recalled but apple is getting away with it..
I have a 6 plus running 10.3.3
I setup as a new device when the new file system came out, and over the air upgrade since then.
I am still impressed with the speed and capabilities of the 6 plus. I have compared to some 6s and several android phones my co workers have.
If your 6 plus is slow maybe there is a hardware issue, or maybe a setup as new device will help.

i have a iphone 6, and i made the mistake of upgrading to ios10 . Biggest mistake ever. it completely rendered the phone useless. opening the mail and messages or any app takes anywhere from 5-10 seconds. ios 10 intentionally uses more ram memory to make the users experience that much more frustrating to force an upgrade of the handset.

should'nt have to be that way
Your phone or software is faulty. Try clean reload and if that doesn't work take to Apple Store. What your phone is doing is not normal.
Seems like you have a rather unique problem. Recommend you buy different brand of phone next time.
Scratches head.....and you still on here complaining?
Yup same problem here. The old phone gets slower and slower as launch day approaches. When the new phone comes out my old slow phone is unusable and I have to buy a new one. At least I've convinced myself of that.....
Even if it were fast, I would still say that the 1GB RAM wasn't that great on the 6+. You're welcome to do an upgrade though because the 6S+ is affordable now and the 7+ will drop in price in a month or so. Don't have to get a 7S+ or iPhone 8 to get an "upgrade."
Funny, I never experienced those issues. Always updated older phones. Some even over three years. If this were really wide spread, think there would be way more articles. Didn't some 6 iPhones have touch disease. Still think you had defective one. Not common, but when it happens to you it is a pain.
I have the 6+ and it's been going 3 years strong. I think it runs fine, apps maybe take 3-4 seconds to open. If that is slow, I wouldn't know since I never owned an "s" version or 7. There are stutters in some apps and some so crash, but it's been a workhorse for me.
I will be upgrading this fall no doubt and with the 3 year hold out, upgrading will be that much sweeter.

Mine works fine still, have the odd pause here and there but nothing frustrating, saying that the only game I play is a card game everything else I do on the phone is social media/email/photos/web browsing and it's does all that fast enough that I am happy. Battery life is good, though since I got a Apple watch S1 on sale, battery life sometimes doesn't get me past 10 at night if I do a lot card games and get lots of notifications from watch.
That is the weirdest thing I have ever heard, having too many emails slowing a phone down. Makes no sense. Why didnt they just suggest you only sync 30 days of email to the device or something?
In any case, if you had a 6+ you may have had touch disease. As I wrote above my 6+ had it, and the replacement phone is night and day better. My friend has 6+ with touch disease, his phone is non-responsive and laggy a lot just like my old 6+.
Looking forward to the iPhone 8, current 6+ is fine, just would like a faster CPU and more memory now.
I noticed this on mi 6+ very early on 
right now is nearly unusable. The camera takes the longest time to open, every app refreshes as soon as i close it and re open it, booting takes for ever.
this is the only iPhone that ever happen to me, i was actually very happy with 5.

You could change your resolution, and get a new battery
Sure those 2 things would help massively
Insane that the slowdowns may also be due to Apple slowing our iPhones due to battery wear. Really horrible...
