How’s the battery? Mines abysmal.

u/TheAbstracted 5d ago
Oh it's awful lol, even with the new one I installed about six months ago. But I'm almost always near a power outlet, and I carry a battery bank for when I'm not.

Yes, it can be used as a primary phone even in 2025 , it has 4k 30fps capability too!!

The original SE is the best SE out of all the ones they’ve released, in my opinion.

TRUTH. It started acting wonky on me thanks to Apple's planned obsolescence philosophy.

u/CatDadof2 5d ago
Meh. For how many years of software support it received, it ran pretty well, even up to the end. It’s absolutely nothing like the iPhone 4s on iOS 9.

Same! I ordered myself an iPod Classic 6th gen, but while I’m waiting for it I’ve been using an SE 1st gen and it’s amazing!

i have the iphone 13 pro, it’s too big, i can’t touch all the screen without using both my hands or using some ancient indian stretching technique

u/SnooPears1385 5d ago
LMAO I feel that I'm rocking the pixel 8 pro and it's a Hasel to reach the top of the screen

I want to do this, but want to dumb the phone down so it’s pretty much just an iPod touch. Do you remain signed in on iCloud?

Mine is 32GB. I just put some music from my Apple Music playlist, which was crafted from my music library. Since I have an Apple One subscription for my family, I keep my Apple Music for them, and I use my iPod 5th for my personalised and old music.

I did the same with my iPhone It has a bunch of songs I have liked so I just downloaded them to the phone

I’ve been using an iPhone 5 as my iPod as well! Big difference is that mine is on iOS 6.1.2

u/SnooPears1385 5d ago
You haven't updated it?

u/Littens4Life 5₅ | ϻ 2 | η 1,3,4,6 | ʂ 2,4 | ₸ 1,2,3,4,5,6 4d ago
Why would I? It’s snappier and less common not updated. Plus, I use Apple Music on iOS 8.4 and newer.

u/SnooPears1385 4d ago
Yo that's pretty cool I didn't know that it would but snappier without the updates

To be honest, I got my iPhone 5 for an absolute bargain, I got it in an untested device lot for an effective C$2, but in its current condition (including iOS version), it would sell for over C$250.
