Obviously the phone can't keep up with today's standards but I love it. I still have my 5s. Payment apps are not supported so I just plan to use it for music or videos.
I think there's a few things you should add. The real issue with this phone is battery life and expectations. If you have a decent battery and go through the settings, it is a very viable alternative to a feature phone (use without data), either for someone doing a digital detox, or who needs little else. A refurb with a good battery would be worth 60 - 70 eu, but one with a bad battery would be almost worthless due to the cost of fixing. I have just bought a 2016 design SE refurb, which shares the excellent form factor and that is a very viable light use smartphone - ideal as a work phone (not so keen on Apples for personal use, though).
True but for the purpose of backup it’s pretty good I got it for 12.99$ free shipping my 5s has 64 gigabyte so I store my important files from my iPhone 14 Pro Max So it really depends on purpose a phone is a phone and at that time it used to be the best one using the A7 chip model. And first to use lighting cable.
The second iPhone I owned and it was such an upgrade over the 4 that was old and one that my dad used which was on its last legs. I remember being so amazed at finding out features like Low Power Mode and how much better the battery life was in comparison to the 4 I owned. I felt really happy when I found out about a fingerprint scan since at the time I got this phone in December 2015 I didn’t really know about the technology back then.
I bought mine at launch day, still have and still use it as a secondary phone for my other number. Design wise it has been my favorite. You can still jailbreak it and add a few more things to it.
I miss my iPhone 5s, I broke her screen trying to put on a screen protector. It still works, to this day, but I have to turn it sideways. My phone from 2017-2020. 32gb and space gray.
@@Nekotaku_TV I can’t take a photo of it, but I do have a video of the screen and it’s brokenness. ruclips.net/video/VP-uJE0bYso/видео.htmlfeature=shared (weird music) lol. The screen was cracked towards the bottom, it was my grammas before it was mine. She turned it sideways to work. I played around with it, and it became my phone eventually. Phone had a weird battery problem too, not sure if that was caused by dropping it.
I worked the whole summer of 2013 to earn enough money to buy 5s… lately a huge 2013-2015 nostalgia has hit me and this phone is part of those golden times for me!
I have one in near mint condition which I bought for £40 in 2024. It’s actually pretty good. I had a 5g Google pixel 5, but got fed up of all the notifications and there is no 5g where I live. For the price of a New, basic Nokia 110, I have a pretty decent IPhone. It’s still ok for most of the Apps I use. I use banking apps and News etc and they work fine. RUclips works fine, as I am replying to this video with the phone. Love the design and until 5g gets better coverage, I will keep this phone and make use of the Cash I got for the Google Pixel 5.
I bought one recently. I signed into icloud, my at&t sim card from my Motorola works anfd gave it service (I can text and go on and have internet outside of home, and without hotspot. But i can't take calls) I was able to download everything I wanted, except for Amazon, and ebay which did install but wouldn't work. For me this thing works better than I thought it would
iPhone 5s lacks voLTE which makes a lot of carries not support it, but with some unlocked carriers the phone may actually work, it still supports a lot of apps, the speaker quality is decent, the 5s is still pretty usable in 2024.
I miss when iPhones looked like the 5S and 3GS I just don't care for the curved bezels and aluminum used and they want to make the phones bigger and bigger and more boring
Right here me out, for all the apps that I use this phone there isn’t really much point in getting an expensive phone as I don’t really take photos of it, the apps I use are WhatsApp, Snapchat, Discord, Gmail, RUclips and probably Steam, Other than that I don’t really use anything else so will this phone suit for me to buy? They are really cheap second hand
I wouldn't use iPhone 5S in 2024 it's too outdated I could imagine older person in there 70s using it no one cares about this phone its pointless doing this video really who's going buy an iPhone 5S anyway it's crap
he sounds like he wasnt an adult when this phone was released, we not getting the phone for performance lol, like Duh we want the phone because it works, I want to Send Text and Phone calls, i dont want no bull youtube, facebook or any othe scoal media app on the phone. maybe us older folks like that physical button lol, kids are out of touch but he/they cant help it..
The iPhone 5c waz my 2nd phone frist phone waz iPhone 5 and I still use my iPhone 5 to dis day I’m going to eat da apples ass oh yay HARDEr HARDER HARDEr
If you want to get rid of social media’s and live your life normally iPhone 5s is a lifesaver
the reason why i bought myself a cheap 5s
will get it fixed soon, bought it for like 4 bucks with a broken lcd and bad battery
Bought my for 8 euros and it is exactly why I bought it.
That is why 😂 still using it
Bro actually same thing was running in my mind today 👍
I’m watching this video on an iPhone 5s. The RUclips app still works.

My first phone was a 5s, then a 8, then a 13.
@@deanduffy4722literally same lmaooo but 8 plus.
Instead of the newer iPhones The 5S camera has character. I can see this iPHone being sought by camera enthousiasts in the near future.

Insane how much "problems" you have with this phone, "annoying" that you have to click the home button, wow, what a tragedy

5S is so damn beautiful. Miss the design so much. Only thing missing is 3D touch.
For mine a lot of apps don’t work
As someone with smaller hands this phone was the perfect 👌 size in my opinion.
I use mine as a pocket wifi 🤣🤣🤣
I actually miss this body style of iPhone 😢. I have the 15 pro, but I honestly hope they bring back this body style 😏😏😏
lmfao dudes really complaining about having to use a home button
It still is one of the best looking phones ever made by apple
100%
Does Spotify and Google Maps still work on it?
I just wanna take it to the gym without being constantly bombarded with notifications.
mine has spotify on it and it works fine
@@seclusivebark7 thank you so much!
What? Literally just turn it off on your phone...
Man does it download apps like pinterest and the basic games? Babe you kept talking about the camera the whole video😭

How many hours does it last?
i am a student should i get this? just to make calls and listen to music and text with friends
i would go with something a little newer. it may be a little unsafe to use considering the date that it came out but you can use it
@@hannahjolene3333 will 8 plus or 8 work?!
How are people still using it? No carrier accepts it and won't activate it. Might as well use a SE 1st generation, same body.
I miss when iPhones looked like the 5S and 3GS
I just don't care for the curved bezels and aluminum used and they want to make the phones bigger and bigger and more boring

All the things you said were missing out on are pure gimmicks 😂😂😂 I don’t even use those features and I’m on a iPhone 15 pro max
I use my iPhone with a special lens clip for macro photography and landscapes.
I am watching this vid on an iPhone 5s 😂
6S here 😊
Does it still download apps like messenger or instagram?
@@zee_cabyes, it’s not that old too 💀
Battery on mine is trash. I wouldn’t use it all at home so I can save it all when I’m outside
It’s basically an ipod touch in 2024
I want to ditch my Pixel 6A and use the 5S just for WhatsApp purposes but damn it can't even get the ios update required
just get an SE 2020, you can pick one up for 130 bucks and it can get all the newest updates.
Noti gang ⭐️
I mean for all I use in my phone I don’t really need an expensive one
Technically you are repeating the same things frequently outdated, blah blah. Rather make a point on compatibility.
