So I am considering to move my parents to IOS this Christmas, but 8 and X are probably going to be too expensive. Is it "safe" to buy a 6s or maybe even a 6, or should I avoid anything older than 7?

They are not advanced users, and most of their usage is probably going to be mail, calling/SMS, Facebook/messenger and camera.

I third the iPhone 6S! Definitely a good daily driver and first time iOS device!

I know you didn't mention it, but the iPhone SE is a super viable choice as well!

Most of my family members are still using the iPhone 6, and it can be seen that it’s struggling when running iOS 11.
