    Steve Jobs makes the iPhone unboxing as self explanatory as possible
    Previous owner: cuts open the box to get the phone
    Steve: “Am I a joke to you?”

      +TrueJulio JerryRigEverything is the jailbreaker, he keeps them on older iOS versions for two reasons:

      b) They get all slow and laggy when you update them

    Would be great the see the 5s body be fully stainless steel, but have the rear middle that currently Is aluminum be switched to glass for wireless charging, and where the glass strips are have that be the stainless with the rest of the frame. Would make for a sturdy phone. Then update it to all screen like the newer iPhones.

    there is no reason not to update your devices. ALWAYS update because of security features eg. facetime bug. It also gives you new features and especially in the case of ios 12 makes your iphone faster. I understand that you may want to keep it on it's original version of ios but only if you're not going to use it.
