I miss my slate iPhone 5 to this day, the 6 was nicely made, but the curved edges didn’t allow them to add the premium touches like the chamfered edges
Iphone 5 still looks so modern and up to date in 2015! It's still so fast and haven't noticed any lack in speed with iOS 8! That's the good thing about Apple, that their products still perform really well years after they have been released! Just the battery life is the only problem
Totally agree with you, my iPhone 5 is still my daily driver and it works beautifully, it looks good and its fast, doesnt lag on games and camera is amazing. only problem like you said is battery, but i have an external battery pack.
First wireless charging would have to work with metal or if they can get wireless charging to work with just a piece of glass instead of an entire panel made of glass. That could potentially make lighter too
I still have my iPhone 5, it was my first iPhone! It got really slow in 2017 but now its lightning fast again! I'm considering using it sometimes, it's a beautiful design and easy to use with one hand :D
I can remember when this device first came out. I had an iPhone 4 in those days, and while I went back and forth between getting the 5 and the 4s for a while, I ended up getting the 16GB slate model, and it was a fantastic phone. I really enjoyed using it when I had it
The slate 5 was my first iPhone and I have been waiting for them to bring back something close to this. After so many years, the 14 pro with the space black colour reminded me of the slate colour and I had to get it. Nice to have such a dark colour again with a similar design, definitely nostalgic for me 😊
even though ive currently got an s7 edge, had an s6 edge and an iphone 6 this was one of my favourite phones. I desperately wanted a 5s but both the 5 and 5s were the best iphones ever made I think.
The volume up and down buttons work to take pictures. This feature works much better when you are whipping out your phone for a quick picture that will only last a second. Also if you haven't seen, which I'm sure you have, the slider on the lock screen works great just for opening up the camera really quickly.
2021 and I still love this video! I remember waiting outside the Apple Store the first day to get it after saving up all my $! It’s amazing because it also came out on my birthday when I was in 7th grade . iPhone will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart
I have been in search of what's gonna be the best phone to buy. I have watched unboxing videos of HTC One M8, iPhone 5S and iPhone 5. As I have analyzed, iPhone is the best of all. I have a samsung handset now, and I am regretful with it. It takes time to boot, the apps are loading, and when I was on the lift and dropped by, the signals are gone and I have to reboot it. It usually takes time for almost all of the apps to work once I tapped it. I will give the phone to my sister once I have an iPhone 5. I am planning to upgrade it to iOS 7. Thanks for this video. I really love it. I am craving now to be an Apple user. I think its time to say goodbye to being a copycat. Kidding aside though. Cheers!
RoadKill I am using the Samsung Galaxy Duos 2. I just bought it to see if Samsung phones are good. Well, yes. With that budget smartphone, it is pretty good. I was working in a telecommunications company, and a lot of our customers were having a repetitive issue in their galaxy handsets--just like what I have mentioned on my comment.
I think this iPhone 5 might be Apple's most beautiful creation of all time with that beautiful aluminium and mirrored chamfered edges. I think my favourite finish might be both of the finishes because they are really beautiful especially with those mirrored chamfered edges and polished mirrored Apple logo.
I ordered a refurbished iPhone 5 (white silver coloration) grade B for 52 euros. It should have iOS 10.3.4. It will arrive in a few days. This will be my first iOS device of my phone collcetion. Great for music on RUclips when your principal phone is charging , great for hotspot , great for taking notes
@@MikeCobweb I did aswell but it was obsolete has hell and my 4s wouldn’t let me downgrade to an older version of iOS. I tried downgrading to iOS 6 but my phone kept on getting bricked during the downgrade process. I only got it last year and already lost it in January.
dude your fucking 6 years old. God you kids are so ruined. I grew up in the early 90's and kids were about the newest skateboard and now kids are talking in hashtags and living to get facebook likes. our future is ruined.
If you guys are deciding whether to get this phone or not watch the vid I just uploaded, it explains whether or not it is worth it still, oh and Jay z didn't cheat on beyonce
interesting points ,if anyone else wants to discover iphone user guide try Corbandy Instant Phone Crusher(Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy got excellent results with it.
If I ran Apple this would be my iPhone lineup (number 1 is the highest tier) 1. iPhone 6S plus starting at $249 (with contract) 2.iPhone 6S starting at $199 (with contract) 3.iPhone 5 shipping with iOS 6 starting at $30 (with contract) 4. iPhone 5s starting at FREE (with contract) 5. iPhone 4S shipping with iOS 6 starting at $149 NO CONTRACT 6. iPhone 4 shipping with iOS 4 (limited production) starting at $100 NO CONTRACT
+O Khan Nice idea but if you think about it closely, you wouldn't be making that much of a profit. Guaranteed that all phones come with a contract (unlocked or not) the price still might seem a little to low. iPhone 5s was a brilliant idea and made a huge change in the iPhone family since the 4. I still don't think how iPhone 5 with iOS 6 especially can beat the revolutionary iPhone 5s with iOS 9. It depends on how you look at the matter. The 6S Plus HAS to have a greater price by seeing all the customers are buying it. The screen size is magnificent and the pixels are speechless. I'm unsure about the 5s being lower. But the whole jist is to keeps the prices high and make a good profit. (and the CEO dosen't really decide the prices lol).
anyone else think that the white version looks more premium than the black? the chamfered edges on the black look plastic even the logo look plastic. can't decide which color to choose :v
9 years later, the iPhone 5 on IOS 6 is still my favourite combo.
Same 10 years later
I’m sure it’s not THAT rare…
@@astrotone it's rare to find an iphone 5 that's on the og ios 6 firmware without using a PC to dual boot it
@@someguywithmtndew5691 That was a joke

This was the most beautiful iPhone Apple ever released.
And they brought it back with the SE! 😄
💪💪💪😈😈😵😵😂
IGA j
it's really small though
Bret Carter I don't like my phones too big
The iPhone 5 design was just fucking amazing.
Agreed. I wish the would've stuck with it.
The iPhone 6 design wasn't ugly, it just was meh. I liked the iPhone 5 design better
I fucking know right!!
Apple is getting getting lazy with the design. All those details they got rid of.
The i6 is just like a circular metal box around a phone lol. I like the whole 5 series. Including the 5c. It's the one I have
Allready 4 years ago?
....
I can remember the day they were announced...
Feels like the day of yesterday
Yeah but this is still a very nice phone for 2017!
Cute Marshmallow I love the design, the chamfered edge really makes it stand out and has a jewelry like finish 👌🏻
Milan Meiland great phone but already 5 years old
Milan Meiland I love the design of the phone I just don't like the shiny finish because if it gets a scratch it will start to look like shit
It’s now 6 years ago. Which year are you from?
I have a Space Gray 5s but I still think the black 5 is the sexiest looking iPhone ever made.
found your comment!
I was looking for this comment. The color and iOS 6 makes me want to go back to the iPhone 5
I miss my slate iPhone 5 to this day, the 6 was nicely made, but the curved edges didn’t allow them to add the premium touches like the chamfered edges
I like the black 5s front and black 5 black

Yep. I know people with the iPhone 4 in 2015 and they say that their phone is great and fast and they don't want to upgrade yet.
Cole O'Driscoll yeah, my iPhone 4s still runs pretty smoothly.
Totally agree with you, my iPhone 5 is still my daily driver and it works beautifully, it looks good and its fast, doesnt lag on games and camera is amazing. only problem like you said is battery, but i have an external battery pack.
***** Turn off all sync, notification etc. Is that improve battery life? I considering to try iDevice this month, i don't ever have iDevice before.
Yea I'm watching this on the iPhone 4 and it still keeps up really well surprisingly👌
iphone 5 with iOS 6 is perfection
LEGENDS AND ICONS Agreed
Only with slate version...
You can easily find iPhone 5 on iOS 6 on eBay. It’s not so rare :)
I agree!
Random Tech racist?
It shouldn't have been discontinued.
I loved the slate with black.

I really miss the old circle shaped volume buttons. They felt much more premium and clicky.
+nwaneka99 I just searched it up. It's pretty cool until I saw the price tag (duh).
Such a shame they removed circle shaped buttons 😔 wish new iPhones will be thick and have circle shaped buttons
Even now, 7 years later (2019) this is still the most beautiful iPhone ever made. Even better looking the current iPhone XS.
The Big Shebang bro I just bought one for $47 ON IOS 6!!!!!
Myles Garrett bro that’s sick. I just won one on iOS 6 for 41 dollars on Sunday!!!!!
all iPhones look good!
Nostalgia with this video, remember watching it back in 2012 and saving up money to finally buy a used iPhone 5 haha
Samee
now the 12 has similar design, which I’m so happy about. best iPhone design ever...
This iphone design is the most beautiful that Apple have done.
It would be a dream come true if Apple brought this style back in future iOS/macOS

iPhone 5 and iOS 6 = best combo ever
MediSpring Couldn't agree more
MediSpring iPhone 5s + IOS 10 = Best combo ever.
Yeah but no control center
iPhone SE and iOS 13!
iPhone 4s + iOS 5 = the best combo for me :)
This design is very beautiful with mirror edges
Anyone else think this looks better than the iPhone 6 Plus?
ikr ! im still using the 5 for 2 years now 😂
3 years for me
2 years 10 months if you want to be technical
Wesley Estes sometimes apple just wants money just like the apple watch
Yes. Wayyyy better. The iPhone 6 plus and 6 almost look tinny. I think the 5s is one of the best looking iPhones around tbh
The slate 5 was my first iPhone and I have been waiting for them to bring back something close to this. After so many years, the 14 pro with the space black colour reminded me of the slate colour and I had to get it.

7 years ago I remember this guy was my favourite youtuber
I like the back side of the white color. But i like the front side of the black color. anybody feels the same?
Yep. 😂😂👌
Same
I like it vice versa. Slate back, white front
I think i change my mind last time i liked iphone 4/4s, the iphone 5c, then iphone 5s, but now i like iphone 5 black.
I wish the plug, charger and EarPods were color matched to the phone 😟
Me too
Thatd be too mainstream......
Vividae _ the iphone 7 has a possibility of that, apple said that themselves but u have to pay more money
+Elementum it is, for the white one Kappa
If they did that it would cost Apple a whole 10 MORE CENTS which means we would have to pay an extra 100 bucks per phone
even though ive currently got an s7 edge, had an s6 edge and an iphone 6 this was one of my favourite phones. I desperately wanted a 5s but both the 5 and 5s were the best iphones ever made I think.

Wow allready 5 years ago. Just bought the SE which is concidered tiny now. Funny to see this review and how perspective has changed.
still using my iPhone 5 , although it lookes destroyed from the edges it held up very well and Dbrand skins would make it look good as new.

I think you'll like being an Apple user. And iOS 7 on the iPhone 5 is wonderful

Why? whenever the new iPhone comes out, you get it! what you have is fine! its no different except the button!
Because that's what the Verizon Edge Up program is for. I chose the newest iphone, so there shouldn't be any problems with that.
