Back when Apple Maps came out there was a joke going around "An Apple Maps user walks into a bar... or a gym, or a field, we aren't really sure"
i remember when it came out and clouds covered alot of the town i lived in XD
I’ve always wanted to like Apple Maps, but I have found it hard to especially since I live in Sweden. But recently Apple have started to give more official support for Sweden, so I’m slowly transitioning to it now!
I use Apple Maps daily for navigation and I gotta say I love it. The 3D maps looks beautiful. Sometimes I just go to a city and explore it using the maps app on my MacBook. And it does a great job with the interface, super easy to read the directions when driving and it gives intuitive voice directions.
All that said, in terms of raw information, Google Maps will always be king, so I still have the app on my phone.
I always heard the jokes but I’ve literally never had a single issue with Apple Maps. Of course I can understand in a place like Australia it could be hard. I think the iOS developers, who are probably American didn’t think about places like Australia having different suburbs lol.
@@EroticWhale It's not even bad in Australia. I'm in a semi-urban, not particularly big town, and all of our streets are fully mapped out. It's the same for basically every town down the highway.
My dad was still using my old 5c up until last year. The kid at the cellphone store didn’t know what it was when he went to upgrade.
...
Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today
Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven
There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today
Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell
Come to Jesus Christ today
Jesus Christ is only way to heaven
Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void
Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today
Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today
Romans 6.23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jesus
Yea he was 10
7:44 "If you live in a tiny little city like Adelaide"
As a resident of a city 11 times smaller than Adelaide (Columbia, MO, USA), this made me audibly laugh. I remember a friend's mom using Apple Maps to get to my house back around 2015 and it took her to an abandoned building in an industrial park.
Lol
My first smartphone was a 5C, and I loved that little phone to death! Trust me, going from a cheap Motorola flip phone to an iPhone was like heaven.
I loved my 5C too! I went from the iPhone 4 to this, and loved it!
I had a 5C as well!!! absolutely LOVED that phone to death and ironically in green like the one Dank shown. It was a very short time with that phone before upgrading it but I loved it.
I went from a htc pile of poo to the 5c. Talk about feeling bougie.
yeah! my experience exactly, I remember just fucking yeeting this thing with my friends in high school, thing never broke
ps this was back in 2018-19 , I had this thing for a while
Yup, everytime I see somebody bash some iPhone they're just taking a certain level of standards for granted.
I remember as a kid, if you were one of the lucky few that actually owned a smartphone AND could afford the iPhone 5 with Siri, you were basically a celebrity during lunch break. We would spend the whole time telling Siri poop jokes and asking dumb questions.
Siri came with all iPhone 5 it’s the 4s that introduced Siri
@@aztekarchive yessss 😭
I found the touchless gestures on a kid's Galaxy S4 so cool back then
i got my first phone when i was around 8 (my mom's old iphone 4) and i flexed on ALL my friends at school and asked siri the dumbest questions
@@satanikpanik. Damn I didn't get a smartphone until 13. I was still using a little verizon flip phone.
I had a 5c as a young teenager/ preteen and I loved that thing. I have a lot of nostalgia for those neon colors and that blocky shape.
My 5c back in the day was an absolute beast
I’m a farm kid, it’s been run over by multiple cars, and a tractor, and was left in a super wet, muddy field for a whole week and it worked just fine. Screen didn’t even crack.
I was in an Apple Store today and overheard an older lady presenting a green iPhone 5C to a Genius Bar employee and asking why the Mail app stopped working (something about it not working due to her iOS version being too old). So this is an absolutely wild coincidence.
it actually does just some mail providers require some additional set up to make it work (I can use GMail on my iPhone 4 running iOS 6 just fine, I just needed to generate an app-specific password for it)
@@TorutheRedFox i use apple mail on iphoneos 3.1.3 :P
Might've had something more to do with the particular emails she wanted to view or something. I wasn't able to hear all the details, naturally.
Fr, a wild coincidence
Planned obsolescence is crazy
I worked in the electronics department at target when this came out. Everyone thought it was a joke and nobody used the one that we had on display. It was great.
I work IT. We had several of these floating around several. They were tanks. The people when we upgraded them were raging against the machine. They did not want to give them up.
I worked at walmart when this came out and when parents came in to buy their kids an ipod touch i would instead sell them a prepaid iphone 5c for like $129. It was cheaper than the latest ipod touch and i told parents to just buy it and dont activate it. That way it's the same thing as an ipod since the phone part didn't work
My grandfather had this phone last year (he just switched to a 7). We knew this as “Grandpa’s phone” because it was such a bright, green phone. I kind of miss it.
I was in high school at the time and these were absolutely everywhere. People loved the color options compared to the “bland” 5S. Meanwhile, I got a 5S and loved it. I still think the 5S has one of the best designs of an iPhone to this day.
5S was my first iPhone
Can’t imagine a life with the 5 or 5C and no touch id
@@ashmakes21 Well when I first entered middle school in fall 2007 (6th grade), the iPhone had just come out the summer before. We all had flip phones. Good times. Until you accidentally tried to use the internet and got smacked to a stupidly expensive $200+ monthly bill, lol.
just wished it had the same black color as the iphone 5 the black color never really was a deep black again
@@RUMADD69 Honestly, same. That Black was so good.
The 5c blue was so fucking cool
I loved how dense the polycarbonate plastic is, it’s still solidly built, still love my blue iPhone 5c
it's beautiful and iconic
they just weighted the frame... but you're right, they did feel surprisingly solid just picking one up for the first time
i am so glad I got the iPhone 13 in that nice blue I missed it from the 5c it is pretty similar
beauty phone😊
L
When you got the dingus pod i decided to go out and get one myself and i still use it to this day, definitely underrated, but with end of support its time is limited. I will also mention that at 1000 battery cycles it’s basically done its job but its still going!
Design was really good
The only problem was they reused previous AP chipset.
That would have been the same if they kept selling the iPhone 5
I _loved_ my green 5C. It was the first smartphone I bought after leaving Japan and I loved it. The only reason I upgraded was because they stopped dropping security patches for it. SOME OF US HAVE SMALL HANDS OKAY
Me and my iPhone SE
13 mini looks really ballin and then they killed the 14 mini 🗿
@@ZaHandle12 mini gang here. If Apple releases another mini phone then I will upgrade to one.
I had a 5s up until about 6 months after the 11 released. Finally all the software updates caught up with the little g. I think it was around the same time Apple were exposed for purposely bricking old phones with updates.
12 or 13 mini. even tho battery on the 12 mini is quite bad, i'd personally still go for it and use it as a secondary phone lmao ONLY BECAUSE OF THAT STUNNING STUNNING PURPLE
The 5C was severely underrated. Loved how it felt in the hand (that plastic!), a fantastic utility device, and that little boarder of color around the black glass is a nice little touch. It was the only phone I felt like no case was the premier way to use it.
I agree, I like how these look. Still have mine
yeah i loved the 5c I had a white one but I def wanted the green one
mine still feels great after years upon years of sheer abuse (and somehow it has zero cracks on the display)
the plastic really did feel so nice
My dad had this exact phone in that exact color and then handed it down to me as a present for graduating middle school. I still even have it on me even though I don’t use it anymore, but just to use as a prop for making skits on TikTok. And I can agree with EVERYTHING you mentioned about it in this video, it perfectly summarizes my experience of nothing but complaints and aggravation for it’s horrible quality and condition.
I really wanted the iPhone 5C back when it was announced. It was such a nice phone, because of the fact, that it had multiple color options like Green, Blue, Yellow etc. but I was too little and also too broke to own a iPhone at the time.
Now I have a XS as a main, but will switch to the 13 or the 14 at the end of this year or at the beginning of 2024. But the 5C will still remain iconic to me.
I purposefully purchased an iPhone SE 1 because it was the last of that iconic initial iPhone design generation. It’s such a beautiful piece, and honestly I’m glad they brought the flag edges back in recent versions. I just wish they would flatten the camera bump.
Still using mine as my phone. I will have no problem switching when apple screws it up with no usable apps in itunes, but it serves me fine for now. I use an older Pixel for photos.
The iPhone, starting from the 4, is a staggering piece of modern industrial design and one of the most influential devices of our current tech age. Apart from HTC for a few years, nobody has come close.
In 2019 I bought myself a 64 Gig iPhone SE which I loved, sadly it was stolen at school when I was in PE. A couple years later I bought one just to have it because I love it’s design so much.
@@Terminal_Apotos I never had an HTC One when I was in school, but the M8 was so striking that I bought one last year just to keep it. I even played around with LineageOS on it.
Still have my SE1, still works great honestly. My 13m feels fast compared to it, but the SE doesn't feel slow compared to the 13, if that makes sense.
Another possible issue with the IPhone 5C was that the color of these plastic phones (especially the red ones) would sometimes fade over time, just from being exposed to the sun! This is a big oversight due to the fact that people brought these everywhere! It also brings the topic back to those strange phone cases. I knew someone who used their phone, with the case on, all the time under fluorescent lighting and probably on a car dashboard, and later removed the case and ended up with pink dots on their red phone! To be honest, it looked kind of cool, and almost intentional!
I’m pretty sure that happens with basically every dye tho
They never had a red colour option 😂
@@copyer9088 You’re actually right. The confusion was that Apple made a salmon or coral like tone somewhere in between red and pink. However, they called it pink, not red. The dots left on the phone by the U.V. Shining through the case were slightly brighter: closer to the color of bubblegum.
@@djijspeakerguy4628 fair enough
yeah my pink one faded a LOT i had a case on for a while though so part of it was really faded and the part that was covered wasnt
I had a Space Gray iPhone 5S and I remember I always had my eye on the blue 5C. I really loved the blue on it. I was very tempted on exchanging it, but the 5S was truly Apple's best in terms of design which made me fall in love with it. I did end up getting a Blue iPhone XR when it came out. Even though the XS was obviously the better phone, I couldn't pass up on the blue this time. I always had a clear case on it.
I agree it was such an update from the 4
I had the green 5C from 2013-2016 and I honestly loved it lol. Never gave me any problems that previous iPhone's gave me. I was actually really sad to give it up in order to upgrade after the 3 solid years it gave me. Fond memories.
2:50
GUYS WE FINALLY GOT A NEW DANKPODS CHARACTER! *A N T !*
The 5c should become the centre of a "dank shorts" set where everything is smaller. It goes with the Shrek Green iPad beautifully, they are like lost cousins
I had an iPhone 5c in blue. It was my 1st iPhone. Even my mother had one in yellow. I had it a little bit over 3 years. I got it on my birthday in late July 2014. Even the SE(2) is plastic. As I still have it as a backup.
Aussie accent and sense of humor - “I-Mate”, “bendy iPhone” & “ant invasion”… Lol! Subscribed. Cheers man!
The 5C was my first smartphone, and it’ll hold a special place in my heart. I wish it had lasted longer but I dropped it and had to replace it with a 7. Now on a 12 Pro and it’s crazy to think I actually used that damn thing for so long lol
ok
The 6S holds a special place in mine. My first phone, ever.
Please come back, 6S. I know you’re still here
I knew someone who was still using one in 2021
It was my first phone too!!
@@carmadme I was using a 5S until 2020 lol
Still got my 5C as an extra alarm phone, works flawlessly, original battery and all. It was bulletproof, never used a case and it might be in better shape than the 7 which was always in cases. Loved the color & material as well. When there were rumors that they might bring back a plastic phone recently I was actually thinking about finally upgrading the 7.
this is so funny cause i use it as my alarm phone too. he was talking price but carriers (at least in the US) had these SUPER discounted. got mine for 50 bucks.
"Alarm phone"? Have you ever heard of, you know, _clock radios?_
I had the exact one in green, had it for 3-4 years and it never gave me much trouble - plus cheaper!
The only phone repairs I've ever done have been on iPhone 5c. It (along with your videos) gave me the confidence to start repairing my iPod, then upgrading it, then upgrading friends' iPods.
Weird that AirDrop doesn't work for you, though. I use it on the daily to transit files between my work Macs (I somehow manage better than wired network speeds with AirDrop haha).
The most insane time I used it was when I was deploying the full Adobe CC suite to a lab of Macs at the same time as our server team was doing maintenance. I just brought the Adobe installer I got from our Adobe CC portal and AirDropped it from my computer to a few other systems and from them to all the rest of the systems in parallel. I was shocked as to how well it worked!
that's actually just given me an idea - what if MDM software was location-aware and could seed files to a few computers in a lab and mesh download it to the other systems via AirDrop! That'd probably be a reaaaaly niche use case, but it'd be cool!
7:31 infrarred was so terrible you literally had to have the phone's infrarred ports kissing each other otherwise they'll lose connection, I do remember when I had my first phone, all the older people told me to keep both phones stuck togheter while using bluetooth, even though that was unneccesary, but when I learned about infrarred I realized they were just conditioned by it and were paranoid that even by the time reliable BT connection may fail if the phones were 1 cm apart, crazy times.
I still remember the infrared link system on Gameboys. It was so bad that many people didn't even know it existed, and wouldn't work if there was a mote of dust within 30 kilometers. even with the sensors pressed up against each other.
@CheezMonsterCrazy pretty sure a single atom of dust from SPACE would break that garbage
i actually really miss the 5C. I was in elementary school when it came out and it was huge solely because of the colors. I really wish apple could go back to this instead of those washed out, ugly colors they use now. The colors on the 5C were so superior to anything apple has spit out after it. Although, my first IPhone was the gold 5S, I was in the fifth grade when it came out and everyone loved me because my phone was so cool lol. Apple needs to make these fun, simple phones again. Everything now just has to be better and better each year regardless if the shit added has any practical value.
There was the XR
I don’t like the colours on the 14, but the 12 and 13 ones were great imo. But it sounds like maybe you don’t like pastels at all which is fine
The 5C also had washed out colors. Actually many of the ones they use now are much more vibrant. You’re remembering poorly.
@@kaitlyn__L the 5C is literally all pastels
@@imelliam well, sorta. The green was stronger than pastel. The yellow was a bit too. The purple and blue were a bit pale but still not super pastel
When I was a teen I had a white 5c and loved it. Genuinely awesome device.
I loved my 5c. Perfect size and cool colors. Got a 13 mini now.
I bought a blue 5C a couple years ago because of the nostalgia your channel brought back. Still works, fairly decent condition too! I use it as a backup phone occasionally
i’ve had five different iphones over the years, the 5C was my favorite by far. easiest to hold and it was so durable. plus it looked the best
5:20 I know nothing about this but I'd still bet my life savings on the fact that Apple weren't the first to have 120fps slow mo...
The iPhone 5c was my first phone and I had it from launch up until around late 2016. pretty unremarkable phone but for a 13 year old kid getting his first phone it was magical. I remember that thing being so delicate though from the plastic construction, you had to have an otterbox on it for it to not break instantly if you dropped it lmao.
I remember for a while, a lot of carriers were trying to get rid of these for like $100.. Albeit probably with a contract and such. They were practically giving them away.
$100? i think my carrier charged $0.99 with a two year contract lol
Lol I got an iPhone SE 2020 model for 50 bucks on a two and a half year contract. The contract ended last year and I could totally get something else if I wanted to but I don’t plan on getting rid of it anytime soon
I remember that. They did that with a lot of phones before everyone switched to installment plans instead of contracts. First time I remember that happening was towards the end of the 4 lifecycle, the 3GS was only $50 from AT&T, which was a great deal at the time for a phone that was the main one only a year earlier.
yep thats about how much my parents paid for mine just a few months after launch 😅😅
Well with my carrier the phone 14 pro is only 170$ with a two year
3:08 - ah yes the most important stage of any phone manufacturing process. SPIIIIIN.
crazy review this was def one of my favorite phones growing up.
The colours were really cool and funky! Definitely really unique but I gotta admit, I don’t mind the more pastel relaxed colours of iPhone now. I feel they’re 100% easier to choose cases for and etc.
The 5C was my first smart phone. I remember my family got it because we didn’t have a lot of money and my old flip phone had died. Unfortunately we couldn’t get a laptop and another flip phone (which was the original plan) because the tiny little town we lived in only had one phone store and they went all in on the new smart phones. So for the end of my middle school and the majority of my high school life I had a cheap little iPhone as my “computer”. A significant amount of the papers I had to write in that time were done on a 5C with a Bluetooth keyboard. It was a really good little phone.
This teaches me a little bit about being grateful for what I have, or had in the past. I hope you've been experiencing better days since then!
I’ve always heard that the ‘real’ reason they didn’t keep the 5 around was because the chamfered edges Jony Ive insisted on were too expensive for a cut priced phone. The later SE didn’t have them.
realy
I believe it was because they were supply constrained for the aluminum, so they went with plastic to have the aluminum entirely for the 5S. Plus plastic is cheaper which means bigger margins.
@@ivanalvarado3646 ...and then they priced it the same as they would have if they had just kept the 5 on the market. Genius.
@Tong Zou if you look at the edges, they have a mirror finish in the 5S, and matte in the SE
@@alexandreb.1101 because the mirrored edge wasn’t as durable
This is my exact phone for YEARS. I loved my 5c to death, it was sturdy, reliable, and to me the best phone I ever had. My mom bought it for me bc I was promoted to the top class during my highschool.
I had a lot of fun with it and tinkered with it a lot back when jailbreaking an iPhone was really popular.
I love it so much and really made me miss its form factor.
Honestly if there's one thing I wished they had learned with the 5C, it was having cool colors for the phones.
Like I just recently upgraded from my 11 to a 14 pro max and going from my cool mint green phone with a clear case to having the choices of just gold, silver, black, and whatever color they hit on a dart board this time around, which this time was purple, was a bit disappointing. Made even worse that every clear magsafe case with green trim I find uses this extremely dark forest green that just feels boring, cause otherwise I could pair my silver phone with a green clear case for a colorscheme I can be happy with.
The 5C was so baller. I loved my pink one. Indestructible, cheap as hell. Perfect. The 8 gig was TOTALLY usable I didn’t even reach storage limit on it. I used it for 2 years before I got the 6s+ I used for like 6 years
That’s a mood,if this was Elite: dangerous,the 5c would be apple’s sidewinder
I think mostly the iPhone 5c was a failure because it wasn't cheap for an iPhone 5 in a coloured plastic shell.
Lol pretty much the same story here but with a 16GB it was my first phone as a teen but it couldn’t handle the amount of memes I had. Then I had a 6s for like 8 years still perfectly functional but less battery capacity, glitchy and laggy at times. Now I have a 14 and it low key kinda sucks I miss the headphone jack and it does have a little bit of glitching that my 6 only had after a few years of use but nothing serious where it hinders tasks tho
@@heykarimu it was kinda hard to do something like that back then…we have cheaper phones nowadays,but apple’s phones always tend to be more expensive,even the budget models (believe me,I’m writing from an SE gen 2) are more than their android counterparts
@@christiely5832 lowkey I would probably still have the 6s but I made the mistake of updating IOS so I could use the chic fil a app. Avoided IOS updates for like 3 years and that one bricked it.
I remember seeing news about an Australian police department warning people not to use Apple Maps. They issued that warning after they rescued people who were stranded in the outback because they ran out of gas thanks to bad directions.
The only iPhone I ever wanted was the 5c, I was still a bit young for a smartphone, but I remember thinking the plastic back was nice because you didn't have to worry about damaging it as much.
I think not only was it being not that much cheaper than a 5S a problem but also the fact that the regular 5 was cheaper while literally being the same phone in a more premium case. Not to mention the plastic on the 5C scratched super easily
Mine never scratched and I liked the different colors
8:13 I asked Siri for Ikea and she routed me to Sweden. I'm not kidding. I got a 1000 mile trip. Luckily for me, the Ikea i wanted to went to, was on that route😂
We do have the best Ikea's
Always love seeing a fresh Dankpods video! Keep them coming!
The 5C has a special place in my heart. It was my first smart phone and i loved the colors. My friend had the green one and it survived being lost in the snow for 7 months with no case and worked when she found it lolll
"i dunno how we survived with screens this small" hurts my tiny handed soul
the thing i miss the most about old phones is 16:9 aspect ratio
the iphone x is already way too big for me, someday i'll be forced to upgrade
Ahh my first phone. I’ll always remember taking a few pictures and downloading like 5 games until I found out my 8gb storage had already ran out on the first day. Truly one of the phones of all time.
Lol, I am using an iPhone 5C, got the 16gb storage model, I can guarantee it lags and shucks but not too much though
Anyone who has owned an iPhone 3G knows that is truly the worst iPhone ever made. Never got much software updates, and was painfully slow. And it felt like a slap in the face when the 3GS came out with how superior it was in almost every way than the 3G.
Dankpods is the only dude that makes yelling at ants and scolding them for privacy invasion look entertaining
7:35 I was born in London and have lived in New York and Los Angeles because of my parents work, I always heard people complaining about apple maps and how bad it was but never understood, thanks for the insight!
I like how Wade casually uses his friend’s Molotov Cocktail as an example of slo-mo
My first iPhone was a 5c in white. Considering I wasn’t(and still am not) up on current Apple phones, I loved it. The battery started heavily losing range after a year, but it was great!
Currently writing this on my 7+ I got after upgrading and have had ever since haha
They were so frail. I had one from my employer and carried it together with my other phone. I was on 5C number three and still using the same personal phone.
This was huge in high school and a nice cheap gateway into iOS. It’s like the SE but with colors. I think this was successful to give to kids/teens especially given the time period where everyone got a cell phone.
Easy to hate on it as a tech reviewer without a budget, but I’m sure a parent in 2013 saw it as a good way to get their kid an iPhone.
My family bought this for me as a graduation gift and I loved it to bits. I used it for 3 years then traded in for an 8 Plus.
A 5C was my first smartphone, and the jump from a Sidekick to this was so massive that I didn’t care if it was behind the curve. It was worth it to me
I used to have the 5c in white and It was a great experience overall I had the Apple interface available at the time for a reasonable cost and being in middle school at the time the color concept was cool. My peers were all having either the 6 or 5c
Literally loved how he put the *YOU'RE WINNER!* thing from Big Rigs, the Worst Racing Game.
No matter how bad a phone is, NOTHING can compare to the awful design flaw of not having a headphone jack.
Wrong IMO. The worst design flaw is being an Apple product. :(

My grandad had one…it was an interesting experience helping him with it and seeing what was open in Google…
so many children have lost their innocence troubleshooting their grandfathers phones
Had this exact phone and it was not the worst by far. Plastic edges made it so it was less prone to stress on the corners leading to cracked screen on drops.
I very nearly bought one of these, went for the 5s instead for just a bit extra. Loved the 5s and eventually upgraded that to a first gen SE. A lot of people I knew at the time had a 5c.
0:20 He saw the Smasnug video.😂
I had a brief interest in iPhone as a child and the one I ended up getting was the hot pink 5c, probably in 2015 or so, so it was super dated by the time I got it. I had no windows or mac computer access at the time, only a Chromebook, and the pure anger I felt just trying to put MUSIC on the damn thing was insanity. I had grown up with Android and had just gotten used to downloading MP3 files off the phone itself, but iPhone didn't allow that. I went through about 7 or 8 different third party music apps before finally finding one that worked, and that just soured the experience for me completely. Combine that with the tiny screen and lack of emulator support (again, grew up on Android with a bunch of old Nintendo emulators), and as soon as I could afford it I dropped that bad boy for another Android. I still have it in my junk drawer and I'm sure it would work if I plugged it in, but I have no interest in doing so.
I had a shady browser app to download music but I totally feel you on the emulation side of thongs, it’s pain to get that running (and even then, only for a few days at most because revokes)
Music shouldn't be that bad, although it is still way more annoying than Android and kind of impossible if you don't have a PC.
I have an iPod Touch 4th gen from when I was younger and after leaving it to die for a decade, last year I wanted to turn it into a DAP. You can link your device to iTunes on PC and put music files on your device that way. Doesn't like FLACs though.
The annoying part is that I couldn't get the music files off of the iPod without a third party software such as 3u Tools, which apparently is notorious for being data stealing software. iTunes allows you to put music onto the device but doesn't let you take music off of it, so you best not delete your original copy after you load it onto your device.
In the end, if your purposes are loading your own offline music files from your private library or collection, or emulating games, Apple isn't for you. Apple is for people who are willing to pay subscriptions to music streaming services and play whatever mind-numbingly stupid crap the mobile gaming sphere comes out with now.
The way Apple limits their devices to only work on other devices that are Apple or Apple-adjacent is the #1 reason I will forever remain on Android. Sony Xperia lineup FTW.
Seconded! I tried an ipod for a while and HATED that you couldn't just drag and drop music onto it. It actually caused me to go back to burning CDs, despite the fact that my portable CD player chewed through batteries like crazy, this was in 2009. Eventually got an Xperia and have never looked back! Still using my Z5 premium as my phone and audio device to this very day!
@@CrankstaWho yeah i feel you, my money is on the google pixel running grapheneos though, probably the most secure without abandoning too many features a phone will ever get
Oh I love that thing.
That exact green one was my second smartphone and it was janky sure, but it did its job and it was a huge upgrade from a flipphone or an Iphone 3
(also those dotted rubber cases are a THROWBACK)
I had the 5C back in middle school, same green color. That thing was built like a tank and never cracked no matter how many times i abused it.
I loved these when I was in college. I could pick them up for super cheap because of the surplus for like $150. I did it well past Apple's software support and they operated fine for a kid in school. The only issue I hated was the plastic case, because when you cracked the screen the plastic wouldn't hold on to the screen and would lift off the phone. If you did replace the screen, you would constantly be worried about it lifting back off because the repair never quite seated as good as the brand new phone. Wonderful memories, terrible camera.
I'm just sitting here, with my same snot green 16gb 5C in my hands watching this (I got her out just to watch this video). This was my first iPhone, got it from my parents after they surprise visited me on my birthday after a few months of moving to an other city - so it has a special place in my heart. And the phone is sturdy as hell, I've never used a case on it, as I love the color, and this plastic is still in a great condition.
I had one of these as my first phone and it was excellent. I had the same green color and it was a hand-me-down from my mother. Worked great for a long time, even got things like discord to work on it, but when I finally got a new SE I relegated it to the dreaded "Electronics bin" where it lies to this day. Won't hold a charge but if you plug it in it'll power up and run, albeit very, very poorly.
Had a blue 5c in high school. It was definitely one of my favourite phones, not because it was good, but because I had it for some of my most fond memories.
Nylon with glass or carbon fiber fill is actually an incredibly expensive and durable plastic. Its what things like Pelican cases are made of.
I'm still rocking the original SE. Aka "iPhone 6S guts smashed into a the chassis of iPhone 5S".
It is a beautiful little device and still does anything I need it to do. And supports up to iOS 15, which is crazy to me.
The 5C was my first phone, honestly lots of nostalgia for that thing I loved it
I loved mine when I had it back in high school. I wish I had gotten a color instead of plain white still. God the feel of it in the hand was just so so nice. Good memories with that little guy
The 5c was my first iPhone! It worked pretty good for about 2 years until the battery shat itself, it just stopped working without being plugged in eventually :(
This video brought back some memories. my first ever iPhone was 5s, the gold color. I remember that I had a Galaxy note 1 before that and I asked my dad if I can get an iPhone. he said that he couldn't afford one at the moment so I just gave up. then out of nowhere he surprised me on my 15th birthday, fooling me that the boxed present is a cologne at first (never change dad). I got it right when the IPhone 6 came out but the 5s was amazing for me. unfortunately after like 2 years later it got a malfunction and I was told the drive was fried or something.
thank you for the nostalgia Mr.Dank.
I forgot the days of restarting your phone and waiting ages for it to boot
The 5C was my first iPhone. Got it Christmas 2013, I had the blue one
Thanks a lot for reminding me of my painful history with my 5s (in gold and beautiful). The only iPhone I had crap out on me entirely (after 1.6 years) and the only one for which I forgot to get AppleCare. Amazingly, I had purchased it with an Amex card and that included an extra year of warranty. They gave me back my purchase price and I bought a 6s which was one of the best iPhones I ever had.
Out of curiosity did they have you send them the old one?
Wow I didn't expect expect for that to happen especially since I still have mine in Gold with the 16GB and it works flawlessly. Only thing i had to do was replace the screen once in the past 10 years and well I mean its still on the original battery so it lasts only about an hour, but it's still going strong.
@@buttfuqer Amex? No.
My sister had the exact same green iPhone 5c. I liked it, thought the color was neat, and she kept it for a while. The only complaint I heard from her was that they tended to get really hot under heavy cpu load, like playing a game, or something like that. We had 5’s then when the family upgraded in 2014 (I think? Not too sure about iPhone release dates) my parents went to 6s’s, my sister chose the 5c, and I got the se. I like to think I won that generation lol. Kept the se for 5+ years then finally upgraded to a Xs in 2019. Rocking a 14 Pro now and I’m loving the camera.
I sold phones when this came out. We sold tons of these but nobody bought the green or yellow models. With carrier subsidies these were only $99 or even free for a long time.
I wish phones were still made out of colorful plastic
7:38 Finally! People notice us Chicago peeps!
Hellooo, I mean, there are a bunch of other cities... but yes, we do exist. 👋
@@fairyball3929 it’s always somewhere in CA or NYC, I’m just glad we’re seen somewhere outside of the Midwest
I remember when i was a kid, someone had the 5c in pink, and i was so amazed by how the phone looked, i really wanted one at the time.
The 5C came into its own about a year after it came out, when prices shot down and it became a legitimate budget option for people who wanted an iPhone for $200 or so. It was basically the first SE. Many of my family members at the time wanted to try an iPhone but couldn’t justify paying over $600 for one, and the 5C was their entryway to the ecosystem
I loved my 5c and it being $100 cheaper made it attainable for me at the time. Though I did go through like 4 of them, replaced under warranty completely free of charge. Still have an immaculate one in my draw because of that.
I loved the vibe and look of the 5c, really fun, especially with those cases. Too bad that that Apple is gone now, they seem to be very reticent on the use of polycarbonate.
5:12 I was under the impression iPhones didnt have touch id anymore
The iPhone SE line is the last remaining iPhone that uses it, but the macs and lower-end iPads still have it
Fiddle sticks
This phone came out when I was in entering high school and teenager wise all the kids wanted the iPhone 5c over the 5s the colors were really attracting to teenagers. I remember having the green one and if someone else had a 5c people would always be comparing colors in class this has to be my favorite phone I was pretty fond of at the time!
My first phone was a 5C in yellow, a year later I started a side hustle repairing them and buying broken ones. The good old days when you could actually work on your own tech
