Who here has used an iPhone 5S, or even still has one? Also, how do you feel about the design- is it the best Apple's ever made?

I switched from my iPhone 5s last year
5s was my first iPhone, hell, smartphone ever. While I'm a Galaxy S21 Ultra user myself (would love a video about the S21U btw), the 5s was great.
I got a 6 its my first
I had a iPhone 5c but I dropped it and the screen stopped working. It didn't crack and it still turned on it just wouldn't respond to touch.
@@lukehxstxn1357 it happened with one of my iPhone 5s not to long ago it just stopped working
Being a 9th grader in 2013, watching a bunch of kids get the 5S while I still had no phone made me jealous as. Unforgettable memories 🤣
@angeldiaz LOL, exactly!
Yeah same for me but for me it was worse . I was in middle school in 2013 and I saw kids with iPhone 5s and it made me feel bad I didn’t have any phone what’s so ever.
@@riverdaletales8457 same I didn’t get a phone till halfway through middle school while everyone had iPhones, phones and iPads, what made it worse was they used them all the time and during free time and I just had to sit there with my head. I did get a shitter phone and it broke 2 days after from a 2 inch drop. I did get another one a month later which I was grateful for it. aaaaaannnddd broke that one again. ended up with a flip phone, then onto a few other burner phones not even close to being good so I was always jealous. until grade 10 when I’d get an iPhone 6s
I had a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 back then (early 2014) and I loved that thing. Still was jealous of my friends who had the 5s lmao
I feel bad
The silver 5S is still Apple's most beautiful design imo.
Nah im still in the Space Grey Team
Gold ofc
I agree. Silver was the best! The silver TouchID button was something I always admired
I love the gold but the silver home button and as long as the silver back was clean and new I can’t pick between the two. Also the space gray just rings “business” to me but I can’t deal with the black front 🤮
Agreed 👍
God, I remember getting mine in late 2015, can’t believe it’s been 6 years since then
Great. You are using how's the performance. I'd say it's better than other budget android devices
@@lundwipro I owned an iPod 6th gen awhile back which has the A8 and 1gb ram, the 5s has an a7 and 1gb ram, and my budget android is so much faster then my old iPod I'd assume it's also faster then the 5s
You are nostalgic, for some reason
@@w0rd06 I think it might because apple has stopped giving updates on iPhone 5s. Otherwise things would have been different. Moreover processor in iPhone 5s is very old now.and now they cannot take new updates. Same as with iPod 6th generation
What do you say.
just realized my Roblox account also turned 5 this year….
I've still have my iPhone 5S and I use it on a daily basis. Actually, I'm currently typing on it. The minimalistic design is just timeless. And because I've changed the battery last month, it feels like I have a brand new device in my hands!
Nice! I recommend to jailbreak it if you haven't before
@@luminumlx2604 I already have jailbroken it.
I still use mine as my main phone. It's kinda slow sometimes but it holds up shockingly well
Same here! :)
@@luminumlx2604 what does jailbreaking do to it ? and would it still be functional for day to day use? just picked one up and im wanting to downgrade from 12 pro max
I still love how the iPhone 5s looks. The size is so pleasing for small hands too.
Does it support whatsapp?
@@howardlagat1465 yes obviously
It will
We were lucky that Apple released the first Gen SE , a super charged iPhone 5S
@@howardlagat1465 It does. I was just using it.
iPhone 5S was my first smartphone (used it from october 2014 to october 2016). Recently got one at work that was decommissioned, and it really brings back a lot of fond memories. It was quite the device for its time.
I think it was everyone’s first iPhone same here in 2016 I got the 7 plus still using it today
yeah me too it was my first phone but now I have an iPhone XR currently
i had my first iphone from october 2014 to october 2016 too as well but it was an iphone 5c
@@bryanchavez0910 Also I had the 5c I had to have it after or during actually when I had the 5 because the colors lol I actually just picked up the 1st gen SE 128gb I couldn't resist to buy it for $60.
Same and the battery life was better then I expected
Bought it brand new in 2013 , was in high school , i still have that phone , when i charge works fine . Back then touch ID was big deal , and the slow motion was used for fun 🔥. Good memories ...
Same here, bought my 5s in high school and still use it sometimes. Works just fine!
@@Tammacazi10 IOS 12 runs fairly good on it , Not to forget that this was the first smartphone with 64 bit chip .
@@KhanhLam777 two years later? No. It’s easy to check this - Apple had a lead over Qualcomm for 64bit. If it had been 2 years later that wouldn’t be true.
@@kaitlyn__L Oh sorry
:) I was wrong
Did you stop updating it ?
My parents still use their 5s no problem and i still use my 6s. we don't need to change our phone everytime something new releases
Yeah the 6s is still a really good phone, I used to use it as my main phone until I switched to the SE 2
@@joriuschuwa yep amazing phones my man. congrats on your new phone too! 👍
i agree, its only when taking photos that my parents 7plus and 8 plus fall behind.
The photos look so dull and lifeless compared to the 12's
@@redriver15262 well we barely take photos anyways tbh. that’s why we never bothered to upgrade. headphone jack is a must for us that’s why we still use these old phones
Yes! Changing the batteries is the KEY!
I remember being in class when the 5s dropped and people were so hype for the gold
Yeah a lot of girls in my school got this phone and we’re showing it off by putting the phone in their back pocket 😂
Haha I remember it like it was yesterday. I had a gold 5s and absolutely loved it. I got a space grey 5s later after I broke the gold one, the gold was definitely my favorite.
When I saw the title I knew this video was gonna be great!
Mine was a gift the same year it came out.
It went through 3 screen and 2 battery changes over the years, requiring screen change for the 4th time(dropped it) but I absolutely adore it.
what a machine. It's so ergonomic and everytime you need to do something, somehow magically after all these years, it still does it's job. I am totally in love with this little thing.
I just bought a 5s 32gb from eBay for only $20 lol, it didn't have any problems and I'm very happy using it as a second phone😊
5s owner here! Still using it but only for calls.
Ouh that's good. Other phones we use for other things
In my opinion, the design and current operating system haven't aged too poorly and are still quite usable today.
Design? The 4/5 series design are just timeless, jobs last mastercraft.
This was my first Phone so I have a lot of nostalgia and good memories with this phone
it was the phone i inherited and used it for almost 4yrs of my hs (2017-2021). now i got the iphobe 12 and i still use my precious iphone 5s. glad i moved from 5s to 12 cause they have the same flat edges
This was my first iPhone and it was so awesome man, I remember wanting the 5c at first because of the colors but I’m so glad I ended up getting a space gray 16gb 5s. Touch ID was awesome, the speed and everything else was also amazing and it being 64 bit, and just wow what an amazing iPhone. I’m on the 12 Pro Max now and of course it’s amazing and much better but I’ll never forget my first and original iPhone man 😄
Still using my 5S and I still love it.
Same here. Still kicking...
Me too
love that you are a proper techie!
How did he know i needed This!!!
The 5s was my first cell phone in which I got in 2017-2018 when I was in middle school. I have had a iPhone 6 in between that phone and my current phone (iPhone 8), but I was really all I needed back then and was pretty good regardless. My Dad then took it over and was passed down to my brother after he got his new 8 plus. The phone worked pretty well for my brother, but battery, storage, and slowness was always an issue for him. He does not use it anymore because it broke due to being cracked and dropped a lot. It certainly served its purpose.
My mom still use a iPhone 5s and she got her battery replaced 3 days ago and now her phone still going strong and she is never gonna buy a new iphone because it's to expensive
how much was the battery change
$50 usa
5 rupees
My mother in law is using my old 5s but we’re going to surprise her tonight with a brandnew SE 2020.
Did she like it?
Haha nice
Hope she liked it
Since 2018 until now 2021,i still use my iphone 5s phone.. Its still in good condition and soft as well .. 💜💜💜💜💜
Okay pa naman po battery performance niya at camera ate?
I was just starting up my iPhone 5s as I saw this video in my recommendations. Well, it is my backup phone I purposely bought for 30$, just because I love the design and the small form factor in contrast to my bigger main phone.
still using my 6S since 2015
great video :D
Early and nice video, I wait for this kind of review for a longgg time!!!
Lol, my kid uses a white iphone 5s as of today. Brilliant phone. The audio quality out of the 3.5mm jack is stellar.
Proudly seeing this Video in my SE first gen
Bro thanks i needed this
Very good analysis.
I still have my 5s. Currently using it for text and call purposes 😁
I love the 5s. I got one back in 2013 or so. Its getting sluggish but it still works great. I used it as a backup phone when my s7 active decided to turn into a brick twice. Currently rocking the s9 with no issues. I think Apple should bring back this design for people who prefer smaller phones. The design is timeless.
I still have mine I bought in 2013. Used it until early this year as a daily driver. Now it is relegated to secondary usages as are others but it is still one of the best looking iPhones Apple made. Easily fits in the hand and slips in the pocket.
I remember getting the 5S December 2013 my freshman year of university, this phone brings back a lot of fond memories. I loved the phone and really liked TouchID
I had a 5S. I still remember getting it in the mail and being excited to see the touch ID module in action. I only had it for a year before I went over to the iPhone 6, but that was a really good phone while I had it
The iPhone 5s was my first iPhone, and I used it from December of 2018 until July of 2020!
I still have it. I love it and not thinking on changing it any time soon.
Same, I’d rather use this over most new phones! It’s insane to think how old this phone is because it’s still perfectly modern!
Cool review bro!
The 5S was my first dip into the Apple ecosystem and I haven’t looked back since. Its still mostly useable these many years later but it wouldn’t make a good daily driver today.
I charged up my 5S after months today and I thought to myself, "Damn, the form factor is still so amazing... I wonder if this phone is still relevant in 2021?" And here I land up on your video that's posted just a day ago!
I also have the first generation iPhone SE ! I love it!
My mother in law is still using my old 2 phones ago 5S! Like your grandfather, for her basic phone needs, it gets the job done for her and she's happy with it. Can't really complain for a still functioning(for the basics at least) smart phone!
I’ve thought of purchasing a 64gb 5s for my Apple Music library.
Cheaper than getting an iPod for the most part
I want to do that too because my 32GB on my iPhone 7 isn’t enough
Only reason I’d get the iPod is for the classic home button feel
Same here
maybe get an ipod classic from 2010, 160 gig storage
or even cheaper get like a fifth gen touch
I had mine until it could no longer work, I had got my 5s in 2015 as my first smartphone, I loved the thing, played games and I could finally text people, sadly the screen started to peel and became less responsive over the years, so I ended up getting an iPhone 7 in 2018, currently on an iPhone 11 as my third phone.
I’ve been using this phone for about two years now and it’s just insane to think how old it is, this thing doesn’t feel even close to being obsolete!
Loved this phone, i never used one as daily drive, but I own one for my collection and love the size.
I remember editing a video for my ecology class on this phone last year. It nailed. I used iMovie... this is a good example of what a smartphone should be. Today the battery died, so... I'm upgrading soon. RIP iPhone 5s
just curious will you be reviewing the new ipad pro sometime in the future?
Love the retro style intro.
I hav a silver one in pristine condition, my 7 yr old uses it and loves it.
I loved that Sonic game on the Sega Genesis 🥰🙌🏾
The 3 Main Sonic games on the Genesis are pure bliss.
My wife still uses her 5S even though I have a 6S and an 8 available and collecting dust. She says It’s the only one that fits in ladies’ pockets.
iPhone SE 2 is also pretty small, cheap and more up-to-date than the 5S if you’re interested in that.
@@fancypants5782 yeah I have it and it’s not too bad. I’d say it’s worth it if your looking for an iPhone
The se first gen looks like iphone 5s tho and still receives updates
Exactly the video I was looking for! Just found my old (and still working !) 5s silver deep within some drawer. I plan on replacing the cracked screen then using it for music
I had the 5s in space gray. It was my very first iPhone back in 2016. I absolutely loved the design. So much a year later, I upgraded to the iPhone SE. Although I only kept my 5s a year I thought it was an amazing phone. It’s cool even in 2021 it’s somewhat usable.
I'm still using it I don't mind using it even if it is slow because as long as I can listen to music Make Calls Browse Social Media that's more than enough for me and I don't use the camera. As for the battery yes it sucks but I'm always carrying a Power Bank with me so no problem.
Watching it from my iPhone 5s !!! Let's see if it can still be used perfectly in 2025, but that's what the first generation iPhone SE is for. I have an iPhone 11 but I love it so small, comfortable, very good and beautiful. I like that it is not frisa, it is quite fast and it still continues to receive security updates and I like everything a lot !!🥳😂
The Space Grey iPhone 5S was my first iPhone, and smartphone ever. The 5S and the 1st Generation iPad Mini were my first Apple devices, and I still love both of them for timeless and classic design, especially the silver 5S.
I have iPhone 5s silver. It was my most favourite phone and today also. I have been using this phone from last 6 years and it working fine.
I remember getting one roughly late 2015 and used it until late 2017. It was a real trooper of a phone.
My first smartphone was the 4, but the 5s was my 2nd smartphone. Even today, this can easily be used as an ipod.
iPhone 5S and 4 Are My Favourite phones when I was a child, good times
Currently watching this in my iPhone 5S
I love finding uses for old devices like this. Kept it on iOS 10, and now it lives on my desk as a hotspot in case my WiFi dies. (Which it does.. a lot)
I just upgraded to the 8+ from the 5s.

Nice!
How are you liking your brand new iPhone?
@@bluedestroyer75 I love it
The band of 5 years from 2013 was one apple’s greatest innovation times. Such good times.
2007 to 2013 were their best years after that the innovation went down
@@Alex-yj9xlthe iphone x was the first major innovation since 2014 whereas android innovates basically every year with multiple phones and people are willing to pay another 1000 dollars just to get a very minor upgrade? apple hasn't innovated in 4 years wtf if it doesn't make sense ur brainwashed sorry
This was my first iPhone… since May 2015 until November 21 2017 when the battery got damaged 🥺 and later un year later became my business phone until September 2020 when I sold it still working
I love the design so much and I have one still as a second iPod. It works great and the battery was replaced so it works good just small.
Still use my 5S as a music player when I’m exercising, still a great phone
My iphone 5s has a bad battery
@@sawyersmith96 same but it lasts pretty long when it’s just playing music so it’s perfect for my 1-2 hours exercising regime
okay okay, but no ones gonna mention that shot at 1:48 ? thats gorgeous
I held my 5s the same way
I can tell you this is one reason this phone was loved so much
Looks so aesthetic and clean and the shot here is also so pretty
Yesssssss iPhone 5S in 2021 video finally
Hi Josh. I realy love your content. 2 deays ago i ordered one iPhone 5 so i can mess around with jailbreak
Thanks, and awesome! Have fun with that, jailbreaking is always a good time.
I remember being so ecstatic to have the gold iPhone 5S. It really was the most “forward thinking” phone, as Apple put it, they’ve ever made. The first iPhone with 64 bit architecture, first with biometric security (TouchID), first with a dual tone flash, and a brand new redesigned iOS 7. This was new in every way, and yet it was still an “S” year model.
I liked the design of the 5c
I had the iPhone 5s silver from august 2016 to 2018 and it worked fine and looked fantastic. Back in the day when 16GB was an option
I've still got one on in my colle toon. Still charges up fine.
Favorite design of all time
It’s wonderful iphone I still use it I just can’t leave it I think Apple must relaunch a phone like this with the latest technology
Yh and the battery of the iPhone 5S I had wasn’t that bad!Now my sibling has it and still the battery life is good!!I agree with you!!
Early yay I wanna say I luv ur videos a lot thx so much for this vid and all that u upload
:) Thank you!
This phone for me is one of the most beautiful devices ever. I had one and i loved it
I have one with a cracked screen but I’m going to fix it and use it as my music machine
I use a 5s on the daily to watch UA-cam, listen to music, etc
How well does it work
I pre-ordered my iPhone 5s the day it became available, received it among the first to own it, and still using it to this day! It still doesn’t feel obsolete or lacking in any significant way. The battery is definitely not that good, but still satisfactory.
The simplicity, timeless design, and small form factor makes it perfect for my minimalist use.
i bought one for €50 last year, i wanted one just for the sake of making a collection, but i found myself using it a lot due to it being decently fast. the battery life is terrible though.
Does it drain fast?
@@wokzip you can get a bit more than half a day with moderate use
I never use my camera! I have iPhone 12 Pro Max! I never take pictures!
The first version of iOS I ever used was in the iOS 7 era and it’s nostalgic
Never had one, but I remember all my friends having one.
It’s funny how now everyone wants a small phone.
I wanted also a small iphone because the others are uncomfortable big for me
Man... I remember watching you years ago in the bathroom
Wtf
I was using this phone 1 year before, and its still usable. Finally switched to an iPhone 7
I still have mine. I have two lines so I use the 13 Pro Max for my main line but I use my 5s as my second line and I love it! The best Apple design ever
It still getting updates so ig it’s pretty good
No more only 6s upwards will get update although I switched from 6 to 12 pro still I like 6 design 👍
Lakshay 2793 update also mean 12.5.x
@@joshlim9489 yeah
@@joshlim9489 u have maybe have iOS 6s am I right ?
Lakshay 2793 yeah ofc I got better ones 12.5.x is little older now
omg did u attend the Legendary "Battle of Josh" ?? 😳😳😳
I fought in the battle and I am not even JOSHH
I have an SE 2016 64GB, so confortable in the hand! And working smoothly!
The 5s was my first true cellphone which I got as a Christmas gift in 2014 and I remember being so mental about the Touch ID and the slow motion video feature. Keep in mind I was only 12 years old back then.
Notification squad! :)
"Upgrading to a newer iphone"
*Samsung fans have left the chat*
What about dual-device guys? Xiaomi fans? OnePlus?
Lol
i bought this in 2013. i now use it as a ipod in my gmc!
i loved the design of the 5s so I got the 2016 SE in 2019 - still using it although the batter is near to dying :D
