We were startled that iPhone 6s, a device that debuted five years ago supported the latest iOS 14. Brandon Butch, a YouTuber has now released a video that shows how iPhone 6s handles iOS 14 beta.

The video shows walk us through new iOS 14 features on iPhone 6s. Despite being a five-year-old device, the iPhone 6s handles iOS 14 beta gracefully. There is no noticeable lag while opening widgets, picture in picture mode, messages features, Safari, performance, and battery life menu. We did notice battery level dropping dramatically, however it might also be due to aged battery. Other new iOS 14 functionalities like App Library seem to works just fine.
