Iphone 6s is great for light usage. Despite the 1515mAh battery, it WILL degrade within 1.5yrs. The a12 is best for users who light game (exc cod mobile and pubg mobile) and can last atleast 1.6 days on just watching youtube connected to wifi! the a12 is also £150, compared to the 6s being a hefty 235 on average from known sellers, refubed
