    Chanuka, 13 Jan 2019Isn't it useful for a secondary phone in 2019Yes, but not for a power user. I know the 5c (which has the same specs) is pretty slow on apps like snapchat

      Best and compact iPhone to keep tension free size easily fits in any pocket would recommend if u want an iPhone but don't want tensions attached to it it's light fast and still support every basic app.

                                    AnonD-753994, 22 Apr 2018Hi! It's my first Apple device which I bought a month ago. I love It!! Performance, speed, ... moreYou can downgrade it to iOS 8.4.1, look for 91Tech on Youtube, he explains it. But I doubt the difference in speed will be that big, I would rather have all of my apps working properly on iOS 10 than having to deal with support problems of iOS 8. I think in the process, you can also be on iOS 6, that would be something special. iOS 6 and the iPhone 5 were the best hardware-software combo ever.

I would call the 5 discontinued as it doesn't get any software updates, but that also means the Galaxy S6 is discontinued (well, and it's a fact)

                                        beast, 04 Oct 2018Is the iphone 5 any good???Yes, pretty usable in 2018 still, only battery life may be too short if you are into gaming. But most apps support iOS 10, and it isn't really laggy, so I don't see any problem
