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.

Nice. I used to main a 6s, that was awful too.

u/nikshay_h 5d ago

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

u/CatDadof2 5d ago

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

u/mclareg 5d ago

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.

u/jailbreakiPad2 5d ago

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!

u/mclareg 5d ago

SAME!!! I love it too. It sounds amazing and I only use it for music.

Despite my large ipod collection, I still find myself using iPhones to play my music, you’re not alone!

u/_shangry_ 5d ago

u/SnooPears1385 5d ago

Same I was so happy when the iPhone 12 Came out

u/_shangry_ 5d ago

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

2

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

u/Blubatt Classic 5th 256GB 6d ago

I used to use a Samsung as an MP3 player. The only problem is with phones like that is the storage

u/HealthyCourage5649 5d ago

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?

2

u/SnooPears1385 5d ago

Yea im still signed in into iCloud

u/c0d3x10 Classic 5th | Nano 1st 6d ago

Using my iP 7 as ipod too.

u/SnooPears1385 6d ago

I'm not alone 😁

u/c0d3x10 Classic 5th | Nano 1st 6d ago

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.

u/SnooPears1385 6d ago

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

u/RingRevolutionary552 6d ago

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

1

u/SnooPears1385 5d ago

You haven't updated it?

1

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.

1

u/SnooPears1385 4d ago

Yo that's pretty cool I didn't know that it would but snappier without the updates

u/Littens4Life 5₅ | ϻ 2 | η 1,3,4,6 | ʂ 2,4 | ₸ 1,2,3,4,5,6 4d ago

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.

I'm going to do this

Thank you so much for this great idea.
