i'm using iphone se the first generetaion, it works brother.
just get the 13 mini, same size
Is this real question
Not really. Basic features will work but most 3rd party apps won’t update without newest versions of iOS.
Had to get rid of my iPhone 7 bc I couldn't use food apps since they no longer were supporting ios 14
The iPhone 5 won’t receive service from some carriers, atleast working at Tmobile I know we don’t support that old of iPhones. No updates too, prob not worth it
Bro, are you kidding?
Anything is “usable” if you’re brave enough
No.
Buy a proper phone.
I sorta wish I never upgraded my 4s and still use it with stock os. The only upgrade that phone really needed was to keep up with music.
The old man is still using an iPhone 5 I think….even though I gave him an 11 pro max 6 with everything to setup 6 months ago. SMH
you cant put an 5 screen on am se, only a 5s screen. also it is almost unusable, unless you are only using imessage and phone calls. the se will be way more useful, im typing this on an se 2016 rn cause i sold my 8 plus to get an iPhone 12 and it is beign an great phone, just the battery sucks and having only 16gnb on an 12gb ios is crazy
iPhone 5s you can use just for calling and texting nothing else but if you really want that size of iPhone you can go for iPhone SE 1st generation it’s same size with 64bit processor and with iOS 15 so mostly apps are supported still and 4g internet works fine
It’s fine as long as you only use the native apps
but not nights?
Still using a 6S and vibing >>> Battery is meh but saved money not buying the nine models since.
No, at least get an SE 1st gen i think
For phone calls and texting yeah sure I’d say so. If you want to do anything else you’re gonna have a rough time.
No.
The regular iPhone 5 was a trash phone even during it's time, and it's one of the reasons Apple released iPhone 5s which changed everything and is regarded as one of the best iPhones to date.
Im suffering w a 6s, cant imagine 5
Not in the US. The 5-6 use 3G for calling, when carriers dropped 3G, it made all of them basically useless as a phone.
I wouldn’t use an iPhone 5 unless you like having unpatched security flaws on an internet connected device…
Just a bad idea all around in my opinion
