Hard to believe, but “Captain America” is finally sending his ancient iPhone after many years and is earning a pension. But why did Chris Evans actually use an iPhone 6s until recently? The Hollywood actor had a good reason for doing so.
“Captain America” swaps his iPhone 6s for an iPhone 13
Chris Evans will probably always be associated with the role of “Captain America” from the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe), even if he officially gave up the job as “Cap” long ago. He has now also given up his iPhone 6s. You read that right, the actor, who is certainly not starving, was still using an ancient Apple cell phone in 2022, which was originally presented 7 years ago (source: Chris Evans).
In an emotional message on Twitter and Instagram, Evans says goodbye to his beloved classic car and also indirectly reveals why he was still waiting until now to buy a new one. The secret: “Captain America” loves the home button and will miss it. However, he also lists a few points that no longer work as well as they originally did. Quote (translated):
RIP iPhone 6s
We had a good run. I will miss your home button.
I won’t miss the nightly struggle to get you to the store. Or your noisy pictures. Or your sudden drops from 100% battery to 15%, up to the complete discharge within minutes.
It’s been a wild ride. Rest buddy.
Apparently there has now been an exchange and Evans will be relying on an iPhone 13 in the future. According to his current update scheme, he should probably replace it again in 2029.
In the future, the iPhone 6s will be denied updates:
No more updates for the classic car
Worth mentioning: The iPhone 6s was introduced in autumn 2015 and currently still supports the current iOS 15. However, iOS 16 is the end, Along with the first-generation iPhone SE and the iPhone 7, Apple will no longer provide the cell phone with new updates in the future. So Chris Evans did well to finally give his classic car the rest it deserved.
