He had an Android phone in “Knives Out,” and at least saw new devices while filming Apple TV+ “Defending Jacob,” but actor Chris Evans was a long-time iPhone 6s user — until now.
Not to spoil the 2019 hit “Knives Out,” but there was a reason Chris Evans character had to have an Android phone. It’s less clear exactly when the actor got himself an iPhone 6s, but it came out in 2015 and the last ones were sold in 2018.
Now Evans has announced that he’s switching phones, and it’s specifically because of the mounting problems with his aging iPhone 6s. In posts on Twitter and Instagram, he wrote a little eulogy to his departing phone.
RIP iPhone 6s
We had a good run. I’ll miss your home button.
I won’t miss the nightly battle of trying to get you to charge. Or your grainy pictures. Or your sudden drops from 100% battery, to 15%, to completely dead all within minutes.
It was a wild ride. Rest easy, pal.
