Damn, I had one of these, same colour. Used it until 2019 (before getting a Galaxy S10+). The 8GB of storage was an issue, however the display's pixel density, viewing angles and black levels were quite nice, and the thing was small enough to be put in your average pocket and for you not to be able to notice it in there. Not to mention it has a headphone jack.
@@DiabloXL69nah its the developers who stops them also its your fault if you are still using a decade old phone they are not forcing you to upgrade it means YOU NEED to upgrade this is also on android Facebook wont even you sign in in their old versions
No. You clearly dont understand how hardware works. And software. A 10 year ago Iphone was 32 bit. Yet they still limited its 32bit apps download. It made no sense.@dxtremecaliber
For a $1 phone with 16GB non-expandable storage, seems like a great deal provided that you still have many spare components for fixing it & you have to accept that no more 32-bit app support for this phone. It can still function as an offline music player, make a couple of calls & take a few pictures, definitely better than older iPod touch.
@Max Müller voLTE is different from LTE though and the iPhone 5 came with LTE. It's still quite usable to this day thanks to apple allowing you to download older versions of apps. (32 bit support only ended with ios 11 after all)
I wonder, can the ''engraving' on the back be polished out? Cuz removing that would make this 1 quid phone a serious bargain, and a possible backup phone you dont have to be embrassed about.
@@enoll218 well you would need to be extra careful about that , using only thin and long pieces of sand paper to get in between the apple logo and the iphone text,but i think it would work,for the text i would be going withreally fine sandpaper and for the edges i would do it with more rough, but i think the text would be unharmed(or with really small scratches but not that the text would dissapear)
@@TheSpotify95 Apple didn't use Phillips to prevent people from opening the phone easily but going with a proprietary screw was to prevent everyone from opening it. Either way, screw drivers that can open iPhones do exist and not needing a heat gun means that there's less of a chance I or anyone can mess up opening a phone for a battery or display replacement.
hmm that's odd, I recently logged in to multiple apps like Facebook, instagram and YT on my iPhone 4... to get YT to work I had to jailbreak it and use ifile to edit the version number of UA-cam as the old version is soft-locked with that number
The login issues you experienced can most likely be fixed by updated security certificates. I’ve had to do this on an old iPad before to keep using it as an eReader. I can dig up the links to download updated certificates if you’re interested.
@@BudgetBuildsOfficial UA-cam seems to be be blocking comments when I post a link, and my fix may actually be more related to iOS 9 vs. 10, but if you Google "ios 9 security certificates" and go to the first link on the Apple forums, you should find a link to install an updated security certificate.
12:45 Geometry Dash hasn't got a major feature update for a good 5 years now, so it's no surprise that it runs fine, if anything this was about the era of iPhone this game was made to run on. I very much enjoyed this look back at the 5C, I had an 8GB model back in the day, that thing was great! mine was jailbroken too (on iOS 10.3.3). I even found your channel on that phone, and watched pretty much every single one of them you had made at the time.
I have a old android phone the htc evo 4g from 2010 it is on android version 2.3.5 but I got a version of geometry dash lite for android 2.3.4 so it runs and it looks pretty modern because I version of geometry dash lite is from 2015 its pretty good
I'm surprised you didn't jailbreak it, I'm sure there are tweaks to improve performance and side load apps. The app store won't let you download them anyway so you could do that and if you're concerned with piracy then you can still buy them in the app store, but now you have a way to install them.
The battery life is pretty great on the 5C. I still use mine as a calculator/iPod/camera/youtube player/notepad, well as it being a portable fan using a lightning port for power. I charge it once a week.
I had the 8GB model back in the day, it was just as painful as you could imagine. Towards the end it could fit about 1 small app and 10 pictures and then the storage was completely full. Big apps like fallout shelter would have been completely out of the question lol. I upgraded to a 6S around the time when it lost support at the end of iOS 10.
Also, the trouble is that iPhones have NEVER had expandable storage, so once you're full, you're full. At least certain Androids have external storage options (though note that both the S21 and S22 series of Samsung devices don't have support for additional storage!).
@@jasongrimshaw-smith8369 You mean that horrible Microsoft where you can run programs and games from around 20 years ago on modern hardware? Those absolute bastards.
@@ToxikDeth It takes a lot of tinkering, and sometimes emulation, to get old titles to work in modern computers with Windows 10 or 11. Do I recommend it? If you can mod the games to make them function better, I guess so.
I think the only way of putting old apps onto older iPhones is by manually finding the right IPA files online and using 3rd party software such as iMazing to install them. I have backups of all my old IPAs which I manually installed onto my old iPod Touches - both a 1st gen and a 4th gen.
I remember when the 5C came out, in fact the 5C and 5S were the first iPhones to support 4G from all operators - as the iPhone 5 only supported EE and 3 4G, and the iPhone 4S and older didn't even have 4G. So as a cheap 4G device, it's ok? I know how you feel with app support though. I haven't owned an iPhone before, but Androids have the same issue in that the device will stop getting updates, and then, at some point, apps won't support the old version of the OS you're stuck with. With Androids, you can try and get a custom ROM installed with a newer version of the OS (albeit with possible bugs and poor performance). On iOS... you're stuck. And IMO, not being able to use the Spotify App is a bit of a deal breaker. So no, I can't recommend older devices like 8-9 year old iPhones in 2022.
Actually look at an older version of iTunes its technically possible to still get apps from if you purchase them from a version of iTunes on a PC or Mac that still has the mobile app store. Good to know as they will show up on the purchased section once purchased on the PC or mac from iTunes, will work on new iCloud/Apple accounts at least. Look at iTunes 12.6.3
I using an 5s as my 2nd device alongside a newer android. Changed the battery once and it's kept making/receiving calls since. Spotify still works too 😂.
I had this phone when I was like 7 years old my mom gave me it not working because the screen turned purple and didn’t respond I asked my dad to get me a replacement screen and he made be pay 2X the price it was 60$ and I was 7 years old and fixed it and my mom tried to trade me her LG volt for it and she wouldn’t log out her Apple ID so I couldn’t log in
Funny how i still use this phone as my main one. Super reliable and physically robust. Also a real joy to repair. No soft locking of features whenever components are replaced unlike the more modern iPhones of today
I remember my younger brother having one of these, don't remember it being that solid but the storage was bad even for the time, it was constantly running out of space if you so much as too some photos. I've had a similar issue with old android tablets in that the hardware is less of an issue that the lack of software support. Shame but nice barging nonetheless!
I already have a decent phone but man I really wanted a 5/5c for a long time now just as a dedicated music player + messaging phone. I used to just sync all of my .mp3s ripped straight out of CD's and put them in my old iPhone 4G, and for some reason the listening experience using the same headset on these old iPhones are way more superior than any mid tier android phones back in 2014-2016.
It's unbelievable how functional that phone still is despite the lack of support. Imagine if Apple & devs actually bothered to support it. Too bad they'd rather squeeze you for every penny by forcing you to upgrade. A completely unethical business model, but then again, so are most business models.
I had the chance to buy a front and rear glass broken iPhone 4 for €1 but I didn‘t do it because it had €5 shipping and for €6 i think it wasn’t worth it since good examples are going for €20. And after all, an iPhone 4 is useless
Not very different from my windows 8 mobile experience 5 years ago after it was discontinued. Even to the "if you press many times the app will randomly install" but. Except while you had to try 8 times, I'd have to press 80 or something.
I loved my 5C it was durable too. The cheaper plastic held up to serious drops in middle school. 8 ft off a balcony onto the hard ground. Only a corner of the screen came up, just popped it back in and it kept going. I wish they still made C versions
Damn son, this is so old but still doing good in 2022. Unfortunately, the apps for this iPhone are very limited because of the outdated iOS. Good video tho.
actually ebay auto chooses the category based on what your selling but the seller has the full authority to change the category before the fully list it
the 5C is super cool! u can dualboot it even on ios 7 and if u have some knowledge even on iOS 6 (yes, on iOS 6, but touchscreen will not work so useless)
oh and you're wrong on one thing: if the app needs an older version, U CAN EVEN AFTER THIS, download it with a newer iphone and then go to the purchase option and will brings u the option to download an older version, done it with iOS 4.2.1, 7.0, 9.3.5 etc and works perfectly
I used a 5c for a few years. In the end I forgot to take it out my pocket and it fell off a roller coaster. I tried putting a new screen on it but a few of the display pin connectors were ripped off. I had an image but a line of touchscreen doesn't work, and there's like display glitches where the touchscreen don't work. R.I.P Green 5c. You made phone calls.
This video inspired me to pick one of these up for my collection. For... some reason... Not my smartest purchase. Well, I just finally bypassed the stupid OOBE setup and I must say, the iPhone 5c was underrated.
iPhones seem to age considerably better simply due to pure optimization, as well as long support life. Shows that GHz doesn't always matter. Also, cleaning out those speaker grills and mics would help BIG time with sound quality, trust me. The mesh gets impacted with dust over the years. Rubbing alcohol, cotton swabs, and toothpicks work well.
Here’s a list of stuffs you can still download in 2024: Up to date: - Dead Effect (Game) - Dead Effect 2 (Game) - Max Payne (Game) - VLC Player (Entertainment) - Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (Game) - Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 (Game)
For this old 32 bit iPhones you need tô jailbreak and install a tweak that will let app store download the older 32bit version (i tested this on iPhone 5 and 4s in various iOS, like iOS 10, 8, 6, etc.) I use spotify on my 4s on iOS 6 like an iPod gine
Can snatch some ridiculous deals if you keep your eyes peeled. As far as phones go, I've got an iPhone X for $1 aud, huawei p30 for $1, and a whole bunch of other assorted iphones and samsungs for $1 in a bundle. They were listed as "broken", but in reality most were in perfect condition. No postage, since they were near enough to pick up locally.
6:37 Web browsing on sites where they otherwise have an app for it doesn't take up storage and can be just as good, so I prefer it over the app. It just sucks how the companies behind them force people to download their apps by completely neglecting their mobile sites. It's ironic though, because I vastly prefer watching UA-cam through the mobile site. :/
Yea me too i prefer the browser because i can block ads and copy paste text but many things force you to use apps so this is why i always want to use a pc when i am not on the go.
Good job bud, although I would advise using a plastic pry tool to lift the ribbons...those resistors surrounding the socket are prone to popping off when metal tools are used. I've made that expensive mistake in the past... I do much of the same thing, I used to be a master repair tech and manager for two tech-repair franchises. I recently refurbished two iPhones that I found in the recycles bin: a 64GB factory unlocked iPhone 4s and a 32GB factory unlocked iPhone SE (1st gen). Both were boot looping and just needed new batteries (which I had in my spares bin as well). They were iCloud-free; the SE I used as a dedicated Bluetooth remote, the 4s I use now as my iPod since my 30GB classic drive finally let out the magic smoke.
@@elfedorausado Oh for sure I would Flash convert it. I used to mod and resell lots of them back in the day and they're way more profitable (and reliable) when set up for flash than rotational media. Mine failed right after I got the iPhone 4s, tho, so it was either spend money on the iPod for the ZIF converter PCB/memory card, or spend no money for now and use the iPhone using a free battery I nearly recycled because when was the last time anyone needed a 4s repaired? I work full time, and I do tech repair/refurb/re-sale as a side hustle, but I have to be careful with how many personal projects I take on.
@@DJSekuHusky i totally get you. I just fixed my old iPhone 5 and, since I truly don't need it as a phone, I am seriously considering using it as a music player [my music library is not extensive and do not have access to Spotify where I live]
You could try to jailbreak and install AppStore++ and Checkmate, Store! Which allows you to downgrade apps (AppStore++) and stops the Incompatible message (Checkmate Store!) I’m not sure if this will fix anything. The jailbreak H3lix supports iOS 10 on 32bit processors, in my eyes, it’s worth a shot
Hmm. The next year's SE was tons better. At any rate, I bought the original Moto X, which had far better 4g reception, and far worse 3g. The Moto Voice detection was way better than the Google Voice that replaced it. When it died, I didn't get a SE. I got the Moto X Pure Edition (consumer-friendly version of Nexus 6).
$1? It was £1.03.😄 I loe seeing how useful old tech is today. I still use a Samsung S7 from 2017. My wif is happy with an 8 year ld J3. I suspect Apple is slightly worse than Android when it comes to getting hold of oder apps.
If you have jailbreak and use something like app admin to install specific app versions you can sign in, but for some reason google forces some error on anything older than iOS 10
i've got a Samsung Galaxy A13 SM-A137, and this is pretty decent in terms of performance, and Samsung has been kind enough to make the phone only in 32-bit and I lack so much support whereas phones in lower price ranges just get 64-bit support while not being able to be powerful enough to utilize it.
Hey, just a heads up! If you have EVER bought an app, you can get an older version through "Purchased". I just tested this yesterday by buying Terraria for the first time ever on my iPad Air 2 which is up to date, and then, when it appeared on my Purchased list, I downloaded it on my old iPhone 3GS, and got some old Thanksgiving update version from 2014. So you do not have to had bought it back then for it to work. If there has ever been a compatible version available, it will work.
To install basically any old app version in (at least the 5s) in your 5c, you can just get itunes on a windows/mac pc and get the apps there, and then download in the phone later on. i did that with the 5s, i never had an iphone before, got a used 5s, and just got every damn app: uber, waze, maps, whatsapp, discord, teams (a little slow tho, but its slow everywhere), telegram, facebook, netflix, plants vs zombies 2, youtube, etc. All working in iphone 5s. And it's actually USABLE
the screen on that iPhone 5c is exactly the same as mine and the same colour, except mine fell out of my pocket and smashed on a curb because these iPhone's are built like a McDonalds toy and break so easily

Apple dropped support for 32 bit mobile processors with iOS 11 in 2017
UA-cam no longer works on iOS 10. You now get the update required screen.
my friend had this one until 1 or 2 years ago,
Never clicked so fast on a Budget Builds video. It's definitely worth it
Give it to Hugh Jeffery’s he might be able to do a full restoration
I think I did a pretty decent job for a quick repair with spares 👍
@@BudgetBuildsOfficial yeah currently watching it just love your content man with the chill jazz music.
Not very different from my windows 8 mobile experience 5 years ago after it was discontinued. Even to the "if you press many times the app will randomly install" but. Except while you had to try 8 times, I'd have to press 80 or something.
Geometry Dash is paid, but it's much better than the Lite tbh.
I loved my 5C it was durable too. The cheaper plastic held up to serious drops in middle school. 8 ft off a balcony onto the hard ground. Only a corner of the screen came up, just popped it back in and it kept going. I wish they still made C versions
But that would hurt the brand if you think like apple but Samsung has cheaper products but most still think about the more expensive ones.
Who else is watching this video and is in year 10?😆
For 1$ this is the best phone you can get, but I wouldnt get it even for free lol
For the Spotify Issue, you have to downgrade the app to a specific version for it to work.
Unfortunately it's still an iPhone and not worth even a dollar.
Who doesn't like the best film
Sronk
SOME BODY ONCE TOLD ME THE WORLD IS GONA ROLL ME AND NOT TO BUY CRAPPY KNOCKOFFS ON EBAY
A year ago i installed Geometry Dash on a first gen iPad.
Have l seen a Hogs of War PS1's portrait? Yes!
Damn son, this is so old but still doing good in 2022. Unfortunately, the apps for this iPhone are very limited because of the outdated iOS. Good video tho.
The newest version of Tiktok is still supported btw
What was that arabic app when you typed on dicord lol
I wonder if Maria will ever find out this video..
actually ebay auto chooses the category based on what your selling but the seller has the full authority to change the category before the fully list it
the 5C is super cool! u can dualboot it even on ios 7 and if u have some knowledge even on iOS 6 (yes, on iOS 6, but touchscreen will not work so useless)
oh and you're wrong on one thing: if the app needs an older version, U CAN EVEN AFTER THIS, download it with a newer iphone and then go to the purchase option and will brings u the option to download an older version, done it with iOS 4.2.1, 7.0, 9.3.5 etc and works perfectly
A while ago i found a iphone 5s for 51 cents
spotify logs in fine both on 5c ios 10 and 3gs ios 6! idk y it doesnt work for u.
god damn you need to take out that iphone old yeller style
ello ello
I used a 5c for a few years. In the end I forgot to take it out my pocket and it fell off a roller coaster. I tried putting a new screen on it but a few of the display pin connectors were ripped off. I had an image but a line of touchscreen doesn't work, and there's like display glitches where the touchscreen don't work.
R.I.P Green 5c. You made phone calls.
This video inspired me to pick one of these up for my collection.
For... some reason... Not my smartest purchase.
Well, I just finally bypassed the stupid OOBE setup and I must say, the iPhone 5c was underrated.
I NEED SHRONK!1!1!1!1!1!11!
Please send it to me
Hey man! I really enjoy your vids! I just have ONE question! WHAT IS THE SONG THAT YOU USE FOR YOUR INTRO!!!????
iPhones seem to age considerably better simply due to pure optimization, as well as long support life. Shows that GHz doesn't always matter.
Also, cleaning out those speaker grills and mics would help BIG time with sound quality, trust me. The mesh gets impacted with dust over the years. Rubbing alcohol, cotton swabs, and toothpicks work well.
Great Video As Always ❤❤
Here’s a list of stuffs you can still download in 2024:
Up to date:
- Dead Effect (Game)
- Dead Effect 2 (Game)
- Max Payne (Game)
- VLC Player (Entertainment)
- Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (Game)
- Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 (Game)
For this old 32 bit iPhones you need tô jailbreak and install a tweak that will let app store download the older 32bit version (i tested this on iPhone 5 and 4s in various iOS, like iOS 10, 8, 6, etc.)
I use spotify on my 4s on iOS 6 like an iPod gine
Can snatch some ridiculous deals if you keep your eyes peeled. As far as phones go, I've got an iPhone X for $1 aud, huawei p30 for $1, and a whole bunch of other assorted iphones and samsungs for $1 in a bundle. They were listed as "broken", but in reality most were in perfect condition. No postage, since they were near enough to pick up locally.
sounds too good to be true
6:37 Web browsing on sites where they otherwise have an app for it doesn't take up storage and can be just as good, so I prefer it over the app. It just sucks how the companies behind them force people to download their apps by completely neglecting their mobile sites. It's ironic though, because I vastly prefer watching UA-cam through the mobile site. :/
I like using UA-cam on mobile browsers though because it has no community tab
Yea me too i prefer the browser because i can block ads and copy paste text but many things force you to use apps so this is why i always want to use a pc when i am not on the go.
4:51. Support ended for the 5C back in 2016 with iOS 10. I personally used the 5C back around that time.
I think the 5c would be nice on ios 6
It’s my birthday soon…
Good job bud, although I would advise using a plastic pry tool to lift the ribbons...those resistors surrounding the socket are prone to popping off when metal tools are used. I've made that expensive mistake in the past...
I do much of the same thing, I used to be a master repair tech and manager for two tech-repair franchises.
I recently refurbished two iPhones that I found in the recycles bin: a 64GB factory unlocked iPhone 4s and a 32GB factory unlocked iPhone SE (1st gen).
Both were boot looping and just needed new batteries (which I had in my spares bin as well). They were iCloud-free; the SE I used as a dedicated Bluetooth remote, the 4s I use now as my iPod since my 30GB classic drive finally let out the magic smoke.
And still you can fix the classic or even upgrade it to use flash storage
@@elfedorausado Oh for sure I would Flash convert it.
I used to mod and resell lots of them back in the day and they're way more profitable (and reliable) when set up for flash than rotational media.
Mine failed right after I got the iPhone 4s, tho, so it was either spend money on the iPod for the ZIF converter PCB/memory card, or spend no money for now and use the iPhone using a free battery I nearly recycled because when was the last time anyone needed a 4s repaired?
I work full time, and I do tech repair/refurb/re-sale as a side hustle, but I have to be careful with how many personal projects I take on.
@@DJSekuHusky i totally get you. I just fixed my old iPhone 5 and, since I truly don't need it as a phone, I am seriously considering using it as a music player [my music library is not extensive and do not have access to Spotify where I live]
It's a good quick flip
You could try to jailbreak and install AppStore++ and Checkmate, Store! Which allows you to downgrade apps (AppStore++) and stops the Incompatible message (Checkmate Store!) I’m not sure if this will fix anything. The jailbreak H3lix supports iOS 10 on 32bit processors, in my eyes, it’s worth a shot
Hmm. The next year's SE was tons better. At any rate, I bought the original Moto X, which had far better 4g reception, and far worse 3g. The Moto Voice detection was way better than the Google Voice that replaced it. When it died, I didn't get a SE. I got the Moto X Pure Edition (consumer-friendly version of Nexus 6).
Man I would love to see you jailbreak it and put some emulators to show the power
As someone who doesn't stream any music, this is basically entirely usable for me as a smartphone in 2022.
Specs:
CPU: Ryzen R7 3700X
GPU: Nvidia GTX3050 ??
RAM: 32GB DDR4 RAM
OS: Windows 10
$1? It was £1.03.😄 I loe seeing how useful old tech is today. I still use a Samsung S7 from 2017. My wif is happy with an 8 year ld J3. I suspect Apple is slightly worse than Android when it comes to getting hold of oder apps.
If you have jailbreak and use something like app admin to install specific app versions you can sign in, but for some reason google forces some error on anything older than iOS 10
i've got a Samsung Galaxy A13 SM-A137, and this is pretty decent in terms of performance, and Samsung has been kind enough to make the phone only in 32-bit and I lack so much support whereas phones in lower price ranges just get 64-bit support while not being able to be powerful enough to utilize it.
Hey, just a heads up! If you have EVER bought an app, you can get an older version through "Purchased". I just tested this yesterday by buying Terraria for the first time ever on my iPad Air 2 which is up to date, and then, when it appeared on my Purchased list, I downloaded it on my old iPhone 3GS, and got some old Thanksgiving update version from 2014. So you do not have to had bought it back then for it to work. If there has ever been a compatible version available, it will work.
To install basically any old app version in (at least the 5s) in your 5c, you can just get itunes on a windows/mac pc and get the apps there, and then download in the phone later on.
i did that with the 5s, i never had an iphone before, got a used 5s, and just got every damn app: uber, waze, maps, whatsapp, discord, teams (a little slow tho, but its slow everywhere), telegram, facebook, netflix, plants vs zombies 2, youtube, etc. All working in iphone 5s. And it's actually USABLE
13:55 USE HDR "me cries" Photos could look even better! Actually not bad for almost a decade!
the screen on that iPhone 5c is exactly the same as mine and the same colour, except mine fell out of my pocket and smashed on a curb because these iPhone's are built like a McDonalds toy and break so easily
Ha. Old iphones (before 2017) can't even let you install apps. Hahaha that sucks
