Can You Use An iPhone 5 in 2024?

What would happen if you used an iPhone 5 in 2023? 🤔📱
I took one into Disneyland for a day to find out and the results were quite surprising!
Day in the life with the iPhone 5: The battery life wasnt great and the cameras have aged a lot but the overal usage was surprisingly fun! I was even able to get a few apps to work that REALLY surprised me 👀

​@@idriskvr8341cuz they're squeezing every penny from the userbase while barely innovating like they used to be popular for? And people STILL buy each and every new model cuz they don't want their phone getting "old" (meaning intentionally slowed down without consent from users). And because of them, now other companies have learned that if they become established, they don't have to try either and in fact, can take features away with no consequence. I mean, back in the day they managed to put a headphone jack in a little box slightly bigger than the side of a quarter and yet it was "too hard" to add it with the iPhone 7 because of the "innovation" of that year, a fake home button accompanying a giant motor to make that button feel real - And then several people break their screens pressing too hard and so they remove 3d touch for every phone while still using the motor. Oh, but if you spend $500 on some new airpods, you don't even need the headphone jack, right?

[@apetrain551]

The iPhone 15 is likely to have rounded edges. But not like the iphone 10 and 11. People complained that it hurt holding the phone so they’re probably gonna make the edges of the edges round instead of making the whole edge round. If that makes sense.

I’m watching this on my iPhone 5. Perfectly usable. If you want to use apps you simply need a second apple device that runs a more modern iOS version to purchase the apps first on there. You can then install older versions of apps and it works perfectly!

[@GhostCandy0101]

That’s awesome!

If you need a second, newer phone to use it, there is literally no reason to use the 5

[@antonmarkov1635]

I miss the 4s to 5s days of the internet and of apps. I think that period was the perfect balance of life versus internet dependency (which was almost non-existent). I feel drained by my 13 Pro whereas I had nothing but positive feelings for my 4s-5s phones and I never felt like I was in a toxic relationship with them.

[@cockatooinsunglasses7492]

How do you feel we have gotten more internet dependent? I was a kid in 2012 and I'm genuinely curious.

[@verticalhunterx5144]

​@@cockatooinsunglasses7492you have to use the Internet for literally everything. Back then you could still get away without being connected to the Internet but now to do daily tasks and to function in society it's required to be hooked up to the internet

[@BUGPLAYS]

@@cockatooinsunglasses7492 honestly I would argue we’re less dependent than we were in 2012.

[@NothingButSilicone]

@@cockatooinsunglasses7492You don’t feel we’ve become more dependent as time goes on? Companies and apps. Far less personal interaction. We don’t even have to get up to get food now, or shop for groceries. Doordash and Uber has you taken care of. Don’t need to go out to meet people. Just swipe on tinder. Hell… women don’t even actually need boyfriends anymore. They can get all of the attention and validation they need on only fans, and they’ll still get the free meals because they’re simultaneously getting paid while doing so. We’ve never been more dependent on tech. It’s sickening, and it will be a major factor when it comes to the downfall of the west. Mark my words.

Easy way around it is if you have an Apple ID that you've previously downloaded the apps on, log into an older iOS device with the same details and you'll be able to download apps (albeit older versions)

[@soyUsernameWasTaken]

Fun fact: the phone is actually not slow. It's just slow because it had to be upgraded to the latest os. If you can somehow restore it to its original os, it'll be blazing fast. EDIT: Theory #1 suggested by a commenter here explains that newer OS & apps require more resources to run. That's why they're slow if updated. Theory #2 suggested by another commenter explains that on older products, apple doesn't have the throttling yet. So when updated to newer OS with throttling function, they'll get slow. All new apple products are shipped with throttling feature, so they'll get slowed anyway -unless you opt out using the newly implemented option in the settings. I'm not gonna argue why apple implements throttling. As i said, this is just a fun fact, based on my personal experiences, not some theories i heard on the internet. Peace.

[@soyUsernameWasTaken]

@@Moli05 hence i called it a "fun fact". Like how you can put a lobster to sleep by positioning it upside down. It's not really useful nor worth it to do. Just a fun fact to know.

[@Soultan_music]

no it's bcs the new apps need more ram and cpu to operate

[@soyUsernameWasTaken]

@@Soultan_music Yes. That's why keeping it on old os and app versions won't slow it down. Why are you arguing me with a statement that supports me 😵‍💫

[@doubleo3015]

Debunked: apple throttles the cpu because the battery is old as hell. Replace battery and it will be fast. I don’t understand why he has not updated the OS

[@soyUsernameWasTaken]

@@doubleo3015 no tinfoil hat debunking theories needed. I personally found our old ipad on my very own attic. Physically turned it on myself, and i experienced with my own two eyes how smoothly it works at first. Even played some old games flawlessly. Normal very low temperature. Despite the old battery. But the thing asked to be updated (also i was hoping to use some apps that requires update), so i updated it, and what was running smoothly just 10 minutes ago, immediately became much much slower and lagging on every task. Don't believe everything apple tells you. Battery got very little to do with it.

@@Minimalspec yeah I can see the preference when you put it that way.
