That the 5c would be cheaper enough to have been able for my parents to afford 
it rather than the Android was my dream, but no! Apple should make 
more-afordavle phones for those (especially here in Mexico) who can't readily 
aford most recent nodels! Thus having to make do with older phone, and 
sometimes second-hand!

Hello,
Well, that's why I wondered. And I guess just because of the casing, the 5C is 
cheaper?

Apple still at the end of the day views itself more as a luxury brand. They'll 
tell you that the needs of lower income markets can be met by older phones in 
the secondary markets. I.E. Used or refurbished i-devices.

I'd go with the 5s because it was the first of the 64 bit iPhones.  Eevery 
iPhone sense that is also 64 bit.

Re: iPhone 5S still relevant and usable?

[Christopher Chaltain]

The 5C was not that much cheaper. It was definitely not a low end phone. 
I'm not sure why Apple came out with the 5C other than to tap into the 
market for brightly colored phones.

Hello all,

I know I haven't posted in a huge long while, but one of my best friend's wants 
to get me an iPhone 5S unlocked from Amazon.

Question to you all, however. Is anyone using an iPhone 5S here anymore? Is it 
still usable and relevant anymore these days?

I would love any answers/feedback on this question.

Thanks,

For now I am still using my iPhone 5s.  My iPhone history is, I started out 
with an iPhone 4 and then got an iPhone 5s about 2 years ago.  I'm trying to 
decide should I get an iPhone 6s or wait until next October for an iPhone 7.  
Waiting for the iPhone 7 would fit with the way I have been doing replacements. 
 4, 5s, 7.All nice and even?

The 5C is cheaper because it is the  5 in the plastic case, and the 5S is

I have a 5S and am a fairly advanced user and have no plans on upgrading until 
this phone dies.  
It works great with iOS 9.1.

Yeah my friend Michelle is planning to get me an iPhone 5S for my birthday, as 
a late birthday gift. My mother controls when I get new phones, and since she 
got me an Android phone not too long ago, me getting an iPhone for her would be 
an absolute no and she wouldn’t do it. But Michelle was like it is unfair that 
she had an iPod and Android and I just had the Android. She wanted me to enjoy 
iOS just like she can, too. Especially since I have a condition similar to 
Cerebral Paulsy called Hemiplegia which makes me only have use of my left side. 
Therefore, there are more iOS games that I can play than computer games.

Anyways, thanks again.

Let's hope the 5c is still around! If someday ny 4s hits the dust, I'd like to 
get the 5c, which I thought Apple is going to discontinue this modle? I'd also 
añppreciate info. The 4s is second-hand, thus it never huts to be prepared just

Hello, I have also thought about that, too. the 5 or 5C would need replacement 
in about 2 years, the 5s may last an additional 1 or 2.

Re: iPhone 5S still relevant and usable?

['RobH.' via VIPhone]

I think the original case was the most technically challenging to make, so they 
had to use the over-production of 5 chassies on 
something, so made life easier for themselves by re-packing it into something 
simpler and more importantly, cheaper to make.  The 5S 
was launched as flagship and the 5C was the lesser model for public 
consumption, not the 5 as originally launched.

That is as I understood it,  but it's getting a while ago now.

Also running a 4s with iOS9.1, thus a 5s would definitely a great investment! 
Good luck!

Re: iPhone 5S still relevant and usable?

[Portia Scott]

I would have gotten an iPod, but there are still some games that I like, and 
some apps, that you have to use an iPad or iPhone. And sadly, iPads aren’t 
cheap either. $799? Shall we say, yikes? And I used to have an iPad Mini 1, but 
it locked me out of it, so well… it is gone. And she feels bad about it and 
wants to get me something to replace it. And I would still use the phone I 
have, just yes it was a birthday gift from my mother, just would like to be 
able to have something to use to use these apps and games, but can’t get an 
iPad.

Hello,
Thanks all; been also wondering about this, as am looking into my first ever 
phone, and was looking at the 5s. Would something like the 5 or 5C still worth 
getting? Or should I look at the 5s, instead?

Re: iPhone 5S still relevant and usable?

['RobH.' via VIPhone]

I don't know the Android platform at all well,  or just at all;  but know 
there's more to iOs than just VoiceOver and braille 
support, so the iPhone or to suit you very well, and there's more than enough 
of us here to offer support and encouragement.

Glad you got a friend that is prepaired to buck the control loop too.
The one possible complication then, is two phones needing two 
simms/numbers/contracts, etc.  So an iPod might have been enough and 
keep Android as the phone if you get on with it alright.

Mother is not going to like the thought of her gift being put aside so soon I 
guess.
I presume it was her gift, and not her buying on your behalf at your expense?  
not our business and don't feel obliged to answer 
that, just know it happens.

Yeah my friend Michelle is planning to get me an iPhone 5S for my birthday, as

Aim as high as you can,  it'll last that much longer.

Hello,
Thanks all; been also wondering about this, as am looking into my first ever 
phone, and was looking at the 5s. Would something like 
the 5 or 5C still worth getting? Or should I look at the 5s, instead?

RE: iPhone 5S still relevant and usable?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Definitely get a 5S. The 5 and 5C are now officially discontinued and the 5S 
was a pretty major upgrade since it has the A7 chip which was the first 64 Bit 
chip, it also has Touch Id and it's definitely a much better phone than the 5 
or 5C. I heard here in Canada you can get a 5S for $0 right now with a 2-year 
contract from some of the carriers.

Sieghard

Re: iPhone 5S still relevant and usable?

[Portia Scott]

Yeah my friend Michelle is planning to get me an iPhone 5S for my birthday, as 
a late birthday gift. My mother controls when I get new phones, and since she 
got me an Android phone not too long ago, me getting an iPhone for her would be 
an absolute no and she wouldn’t do it. But Michelle was like it is unfair that 
she had an iPod and Android and I just had the Android. She wanted me to enjoy 
iOS just like she can, too. Especially since I have a condition similar to 
Cerebral Paulsy called Hemiplegia which makes me only have use of my left side. 
Therefore, there are more iOS games that I can play than computer games.

Anyways, thanks again.

RE: iPhone 5S still relevant and usable?

[Cristóbal]

I suppose you can also make the case that the 5C at this point is going to have 
one  less year of wear and  tear on it than the 5 as it was released a year 
after the 5 even though  the specs are the same. I'm using a 5C as my second 
line for business and it works perfectly fine. No issues for what it's needed 
for.

You can just check the specs, but the 5 and the 5C do have basically the 
same specs except for the case.

Re: iPhone 5S still relevant and usable?

[Monica Jones]

Yes, the 5S still works very well. I'm using one now but will upgrade when I 
can. The main reason for me upgrading is for the storage space I've read 
that the six and sixPlus have.

Hello all,

I know I haven’t posted in a huge long while, but one of my best friend’s 
wants to get me an iPhone 5S unlocked from Amazon.


Question to you all, however. Is anyone using an iPhone 5S here anymore? Is 
it still usable and relevant anymore these days?


I would love any answers/feedback on this question.

Thanks,

Portia.

Re: iPhone 5S still relevant and usable?

[Christopher Chaltain]

The 5 and the 5C are still worth getting, but yes, you should definitely 
look at the 5s. The 5s will perform better and be supported longer, so 
if you can afford it, you should definitely consider it.

Hi,

Apple will give you updates for the 5s for some time so you should be fine with

Re: iPhone 5S still relevant and usable?

You can just check the specs, but the 5 and the 5C do have basically the 
same specs except for the case.

Hello,

Thank you for your response, Joseph. I wasn’t sure whether to get one as I had

Re: iPhone 5S still relevant and usable?

[joseph hudson]

Hello, you're very quite welcome. You are thing I worry about is if you're 
wanting to put AppleCare on it, because they may not let you since you're 
getting it from Amazon. With that said, make sure did you get to keep your 
current cell phone just in case something does happen to this other one that 
you're purchasing. And if you have any other questions feel free to get all me 
and I will be glad to answer them.

Re: iPhone 5S still relevant and usable?

[Portia Scott]

Yeah I’m on my mother’s T-Mobile plan, which has the jump feature. But owing to 
the fact that she controls when I get a new phone, and all that, I have to find 
my own way to get an iPhone, and don’t have the $800 to $1000 for the newest 
one. Sad, I know. That’s why my friend wanted to buy me an iPhone, and the only 
thing I could think of was the 5S. But I know it is older, and that’s why I 
wasn’t sure of it’s usefulness with the latest software and such.

Thanks to those who responded, and happy Thanksgiving.

Re: iPhone 5S still relevant and usable?

[Christopher Chaltain]

I'm running IOS 9 on a 4S and an iPhone 5, and they're both very usable, 
so an iPhone 5s would perform even better. With IOS 9 supporting the 4S, 
I'd assume IOS 10 and probably even 11 would support the 5s.

Re: iPhone 5S still relevant and usable?

[Portia Scott]

Yes, hopefully Apple will keep supporting the older devices, as not everyone 
has the money to shell out for an iPhone 6S or 6S Plus. I sur don’t, lol. If 
there was a place that did payments, sure people could afford it, but fixed 
income sucks, and makes it harder when you want to get better devices.

Re: iPhone 5S still relevant and usable?

['RobH.' via VIPhone]

Anything that still works is relevant. They still work and are still supported. 
 I tire of this throw away age where $500-700 can be 
discarded as finished in under two years.  I still use my 5S, and the 4S even 
more.  I haven't updated 4S mind.

I'd happily accept a free gift like that without having to ask if it was worth 
it.
But no one ever offered, or offers.

Subject: iPhone 5S still relevant and usable?


Hello all,

I know I haven’t posted in a huge long while, but one of my best friend’s wants 
to get me an iPhone 5S unlocked from Amazon.

Question to you all, however. Is anyone using an iPhone 5S here anymore? Is it 
still usable and relevant anymore these days?

I would love any answers/feedback on this question.

Thanks,

Portia.
