I'd just go with a new 16e. Does all the fundamental stuff well at the best price for new.

16 Plus.

I have the 6s and was looking at an iPhone 15 or 16. So for you look at the plus models. These seem well discounted and are fairly current.

I’d go with an iPhone 16 or 16 plus whenever they show up in the refurb store.

To be honest anything will be a huge upgrade from the 6s at this point.

iPhone 17 is the best bang for buck by a country mile. You could easily keep it for 10+ years like you did with your 6S.

Air.

Since you keep your devices for a very very long time... I would go with the latest and get the iPhone 17. You'd not only be getting the latest technology for future proofing, but probably the best value phone and most bang for your buck.

Imho, refurbished phones just don't offer enough of a discount to be worth it. Looking at the official apple refurb prices, an iphone 15 starts at $529. I think you'd be better off going with a brand new 16e, or even a 17.

Third party refurbs can be hit or miss. A lot of them have screens that the phone might not recognize as an apple product, which can create quite a mess.

You haven't given many specifics for what you need, so I'd say any iPhone 15, 16 or 17. Particularly the newer two if you want longevity.
