I made my iPhone 5 on iOS 10.3.4 look similar to iOS 15 on the iPhone SE. it works better with an iPhone 5s on iOS 12. More tweaks including the widgets. I actually compared my iPhone 5s on iOS 12 with tweaks to my friends iPhone SE on iOS 15. Very close to each other just iOS 12 can’t do some things iOS 15 can.

[@jamesdriver0317]

⁠@@SNLOOBactually more like the iPhone 5s. I actually used my old iPhone 5s LCD (my iPhone 5s got the red screen) to replace my friends broken iPhone SE 1 screen. I’ve also used iPhone 8 displays on iPhone SE 2 and vice versa. The only thing is if you use an iPhone SE 2/3 display on an iPhone 8, you lose 3D Touch as the iPhone SE 2/3 didn’t have the special layer in the displays. iPhone 5s and SE 1 displays are just about the same though, as neither had 3D Touch in the first place.

I honestly think we hit a speed plateau, newer phones might be "15% faster" but it was already a 200ms loading screen so 15% just means 30 less milliseconds which is basically imperceptible anyways. It makes sense that apple would throttle phones to make new ones seem even faster when the increase is imperceptible otherwise

[@De4dSp0t]

It's more the efficiency, but coming from Apple it's very possible just to be BS. Although depending on what you're comparing it to and what you use it for it does make a difference. Example is pixel runs honkai star rail and others kind like crap but the s23 plus runs them maxed out amazingly and uses less power and less heat. However if you do not play games any phone made in the last 4-5 years you won't notice much in terms of performance.

Actually this is the first time I've learned about the splash screen trick, very neat programming! Functionally it doesn't matter if the menu is loaded this fast because as a human you can't make decisions that fast, but what matters is how quickly you start seeing it, which is achievable with a splash screen. Kinda reminds me of the infinite FPS trick in 3d games, where each real frame the picture is rendered into a 2d image that is shown in 3d like a billboard, with few additional tricks. Provided that you don't move your camera around like crazy, this will give you the ability to adjust your aim in ultra smooth 999+ fps while realistically having 15 real fps of full 3d graphics.

[@tylerlogsdon8623]

the problem is that its false information, and you cant do anything with a splash screen. id rather see nothing if nothing is ready, but it is more "fluid" between i guess. you cant act that quickly but the "2 loads" is a bit jarring imo

[@circuit10]

@@tylerlogsdon8623It’s not really false, the layout is the same so it allows you to start planning where to put your finger next Edit: Actually the layout does shift a bit but I still think it’s helpful

[@technicolourmyles]

I tested it just now and it's actually not a splash screen. As soon as stuff shows up, you can already scroll. There's just stuff that gets rearranged after you open the app, but it is possible to scroll before that happens, so the app really is already loaded, it's not just a splash screen.

[@KacktuskackeEntrtnmt]

The iPhone 5 uses the splash screen trick too. As soon as you open an app a picture is displayed until the app is loaded properly. The picture is usually the unpopulated background.

[@curiousmichael]

Each app had a ‘Default.png’ file seemingly from day 1 of iPhone OS, which was a barebones screenshot of the app; intended to make the app appear to launch faster. These days there’s still a modern equivalent of ‘Default.png’, but the devices are so fast that …what you see essentially immediately …is actually the app running. As others have said above, the Settings app seemingly *was* actually running at launch in the video- it just loads things like Wi-Fi status afterwards.

[@mattalki]

I still have my iPhone 5S in its box in my office. Every once in awhile I'll pull it out and have a look. It's amazing how small it is compared to phones today. It was definitely a simpler time. The 5S is still a beautiful phone (and the 5), but time has marched on. Thanks for the video.

iOS 6 was a technical marvel. I have never used a piece of software as refined, stable and fast as iOS 6. Apple has never topped it and I doubt they ever will since practically the entire team that was responsible for iOS 6 is no longer with Apple. People get caught up in the visual design of 6 and prior, but they don't understand how incredibly basic and simple the system actually is. iOS 7 gave the illusion that it was simpler, but it added way more complexity to the system.

I really think manufactures should stop releasing a phone every year. The changes are too insignificant and aren't worth all the fuss of making, promoting, and selling the new phone. If planned obsolesce wasn't a thing, people could keep their phones longer and we would probably be seeing new phones release every 2 years or so that have much more meaningful changes.

I was bitter when Apple throttled then dropped support on my 4s, 5, and 6. It would have been easy to give them support for say 10 years.

what you forget to take into account is the fact that the games on the iphone 5 are on an older update and are not as large meaning the extra time it takes to load some games on the 15 is because the game is much larger. also, if you ran very heavy games on both phones there would be a very noticeable difference

All iPhones on their release year firmwares are lightning fast. It's the next iOS updates that slow the phones down significantly. (Though I'd say the first major update is fine for performance). I've actually done a test on my iPad Air 2, I've let it on iOS 8.4 for 5 years, it didn't slow down at all, lightning fast even 5 years later. But then I upgraded to iPadOS 13. And oh boy, did it get slower and full of stutters. I will not do the same mistake on my iPhone SE 2022. I did the iOS 16 update to get access to Metal 3.0 games. But I'm staying on 16.7.2, for the next years to come.

[@mrrice117]

[@NickTarterOKC]

I loved the iPhone 5 and eventually upgraded to a first gen SE. The SE was my last iPhone. I hated the form factor of the next gen phones and decided to switch to Android. Samsung support is categorically better than Apple. My wife is still using a 3+ year old Galaxy phone that runs perfectly and still gets updates. I used to be an Apple fanboy, using Macs, iPads and iPhones. Not anymore. I still use a Mac, but I'm all Android with my handheld devices now. To me, it seems like Apple has dropped the ball they once carried.

[@Big-Chungus21]

This has been the case for around the past 10 maybe more years, for Android, iOS, Windows etc. Just about any device from a decade ago is still capable of running the basic stuff we use nowadays. You can get a computer from 2012, install Linux on it and still browse the web and edit documents perfectly fine. Though the iPhone 5 will struggle running any new games and apps made for the iPhone 15, the 15 pro even has ray tracing. Its weird that Apple of all companies is the only one that keeps that form factor still alive, which I personally prefer, in the form of the SE. I cant find any Android phone that is as small and easy to use as the SE, while not making massive sacrifices in other areas. Even the Samsung S23 or Pixel 7a are both quite a bit larger, with screens that are a lot larger than the SE, meaning that you cant go from one corner of the screen to another with your hand still in the same position.

Could the animation duration be impacted by the adjustable refresh screen rate? Example: macbooks with 120hz displays notoriously play the space switch animation for twice as long as the system and the display fight over setting the frame rate. This can only be fixed with yabai. Could the same bug be present on the iPhone?

[@flamencoprof]

I was trained in microprocessors around 1976 or so, part of my career in Telecommunications. I got a Commodore 64 when they came out, and learned to program in Opcodes. By the time Apple turned up, I was working with PCs considered capable with a 40MB hard drive. I remember being impressed by the Apple GUI. Somehow I never warmed to Apple over the years. They seemed to be too focused on the user's impression of the product, in a sort of warping of the "make it user-friendly" design philosophy. They seemed to cultivate users who saw the product as a fashion statement, then put it in their back pocket because they could, then sat on it and broke it..

In case some people haven’t realized, tech advancements, be it software or hardware are an eternal game of cat and mouse. The more powerful the hardware becomes the harder the software pushes it, the goal cannot be to make it faster than previous generations, but to do more processing and graphics while being as comfortable to use as possible, I have commented to Hugh in the past that “obsolescence is not an Apple problem, but the nature of the tech industry, because what pushes companies to innovate also pushes past tech to not be as useful anymore” the best solution is to have a life plan for the device with software and hardware support as long as possible, to which Apple does a decent job.

Currently I have two phones, a 6 year old Moto G5 and a new Hammer 4. The latter is a weird one that was gifted to me, but a good reference of a similarly budget Android 12 phone. But I keep using the G5 as my main phone, as even with Android 7, 2GB of RAM and a slower processor, it feels the same in use. Overall both phones feel about equal, thus making the one I'm already familiar with the one I keep in use. There are quite a few things this older phone can't do anymore or it struggles with, banking apps and browsing the web respectively, but I don't need this often enough to matter for me.

[@nikitazaycev8636]

The main thing is that after refining the essentials (which was around iOS 6-7 era), Apple took a different approach and started adding bloatware (like the huge ui icons in some apps, and clutterish interface in general), apparently they tried to mimic android but actually failed miserably. The worst thing they really left no choice for the users (being able to choose the classic view). There was a somewhat recent change in IpadOS 14 to 15 transition, when they removed 1 application column on the homescreen in order to "accommodate the widgets to match the aesthetics"... And they left a lot of blank wasted space, which is pretty much a downgrade (remains unresolved to this day in iPadOS 17). Downgrading is ofc restricted as always (classic Apple), and the iOS 14 is about to be nuked in terms of app support.

1:53 I don’t know how accurate that first “speed test” is because of non linear animations. Sure, the animation is finished quicker on the 5, but you can tap an app right away, even before the animation has barely begun, on the 15 (or any iOS 11 or newer device I think). On the 5, you could probably tap something before it’s finished, but it’ll only start the app opening animation once the unlock animation is done

All those games on the 5 make me want to find a way to time travel even more, or maybe there's a way to jailbreak one and get the same games as on the 5 in this video.

Hugh Jefferys I’m a huge fan of yours. I have a 13 pro max that is destroyed. I really don’t have any use for it but I’ll sell it for a cheap price. Not iCloud lock or anything just badly damaged.

That 3.5mm audio jack on iphone 5. How I miss these.

I remember clearly in 2013 ios 7 beta 1 getting announced, and I remember trying it and thinking 🤦‍♂️ the future of iPhones is this flat crap!? Here we are 10 years later, and ios 6 still looking just as good as the last day supported.

Watching on and happy with SE 2016.

I have a 128 GB 6s Plus. I actually got it recently, around 3 months ago, from a trade-in company in mint condition... and it owes nothing to a low end Android. Perfectly usable device, even almost 9 years on.

Farewell iPhone 5 when the 3g network is shut down soon

[@BuffShamans]

ive really noticed a lot of bugs for ios 16 and 17. Freezes, lock ups, glitchy, and touch not responsive.

[@edwardcanez]

Man, it's crazy to see your face 😂 I always thought you as just a voice

[@AndyMcBlane]

Still daily driving my iPhone 6S. It's on it's 3rd battery

[@Fidious]

As long as it works no need to be replaced

[@CammieRacing]

Whenever processors speed up and storage space increases...apps just bloat themselves even further to the point it negates all the speed gains...

[@deleqtronica8733]

I powered up my 4s on ios6 and i was suprised how fast it still feels.

[@xxunholyriotxx106]

I think the old interface style of old iOS looks a lot better than the modern style

[@rosariodagosto6484]

TOTALLY UNREAL HOW CAN THIS BE

[@Lucky_Wolf_2008]

Good luck Hugh Jeffreys your iPhone 15 pro sadly got beaten by the iPhone 5 due to the speed test

[@jamiemcdonald1735]

There is no way that you just played around a Flappy Bird like that without you being a robot. Are you a robot?

[@s4nnyofficial]

i still remember the day IOS 7 came out and everyone was so hyped about the new re design after 6

[@crispyjokingtuna1495]

I still have smash hit downloaded today. Such a great game, and I’ll be sad the day it stops working

[@ismailchoudhary7441]

I had this phone hated it and loved it as well.. And then lost and never bought another iPhone. Might get the 15 Pro after their switch to USB type c

[@SalemTechsperts]

Man I just wish iOS had the option to truly eliminate all animations like Android does. No fading, no fancy transitions, no delay. Just click something and it's opened. Makes a world of difference when trying to be productive.

Gotta say, the iPhone 5 was very underwhelming. The 5S really stepped it up by being the first phone to pack a 64bit CPU. Infact, it was so good, that the 1gb of ram really limited it instead of the CPU. It traded blows with top androids of the day. The iPhone 6 was the first jump in screen size taking better use of the iphone's newfound power. The 10 was the first redesign that finally embraced the edge to edge design. After the 10, there's been minimal design improvements. And to those saying that phones have reached stagnation, no, they've not. Look at the redmagic 9 pro, its got a completely flat back and an actual bezeless design. It has a cooling fan helping it keep the battery cooler during fast charge. It can also sustain its performance better than any other phone. It can handle direct sunlight and heat much better, etc. The fold phones are pretty useful if they can turn into tablets. And there's other innovations like samsung dex, which lets your phone act as a PC via a usb c cable. That is incredibly useful to have.

[@cheemz167]

To this day, the poor iphone 5 is still searching for cellular data

[@JLorenzo88]

That iOS was very smooth & faster remember that was Scott Forstall Design & iOS 6 software was superb! I hope Scott will be back to Apple soon. 😢

[@andrewbranthwaite129]

Happy Christmas

[@R-R_Playz]

Even if the iPhone 5 opens one game faster than the 15 Pro, it's just a *Miracle*
