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 👀

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?

I have a iPhone 6s Plus and all apps work on it , I wonder how long that will last tho 😫

[@ShadelifeFTW]

The design was so beautiful imo

[@sshah2545]

I still think the 5S which followed is the best looking iphone ever made. Perfected this design visually with the addition of the Touch ID home button and it's so classy, and so pretty

[@spookyclaws5350]

Same, it was my favourite phone (even if the battery was crap and died not even 2 years of use in), switched to android phones for years afterwards until I saw the iphone 13 mini (which is basically the same design, bigger screen no button). Immediatly fell in love and have been using it since. Too bad they discontinued the mini line, I'll switch back to android in the next 3-4 years after the phone starts dying

[@P.pink21]

I can’t believe its that old already. I was just using it last year and now its passed on to my brother. (He’s still using this as his main phone til this day)

[@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.

[@Moli05]

yeah itll be faster but you wont be able to use any apps so not worth it

[@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

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)
