iPhone 5c in 2023 Review - 10 Years Later! 

I knew quite a few people who had the 5c back in 2013/2014 when I was in my senior year of high school. Very popular phone, especially at that $99 2-year carrier contract price. I got a 5s because tech nerd, but people who had the 5c generally liked it a lot and didn't know what they were missing out on unless you told them. You definitely shouldn't use one these days due to app compatibility and a lot of security flaws, but hey, it's nice to see them popping up again on RU-vid as pure nostalgia.

Watching from my 5c

quite a cute little phone. definitely not a good buy in 2023. if you REALLY want a small old iphone get a first gen iPhone SE ot something much newer. Great video anyway👌

The 5c Green is my favorite iPhone to this day. Idk why, but it just is so cool looking.

The only reason why I decided watching your vid was cause I recently found my iPhone 5c, also blue, stored away while I rummaged through my stuff. Currently charging it as I thought it would be neat checking this phone out after not being used for about a decade now.

Glad i looked into this more. The 5C to me was a phone i really wanted beck in the day, mainly for its color options. Never had the chance to buy one, until now that i am much older. Its unfortunate that its functions are so far out of date. Really goes to show you how long ago its really been. Thanks again! 😄😄

This was my 1st iPhone back in late July 2014. I had a blue one and my mother had a yellow one.

The 5 & 5c should’ve launched together with the 5s on its own. And they should’ve made the 5c more cheaper

The 5c remind me of the simple times I will buy it for nostalgic memories

The 5C was cool. I would like to see the SE be something like this today.

I got one new old stock and use it as a feature/dumb phone and I love it. The battery lasts me two days because I don`t use it a lot just for calls, texting and light browsing.

my fist iPhone my senior year... LOVED IT

i just started using one of these again, a 8GB Blue one! it was my mom's old iPhone from 2015 - 2017 (she was on a contract) and i loveee how small it is compared to my giant Samsung Note20 Ultra loll

That phone was a lemon when it came out and it’s still a lemon today.

I remember when this phone first came out it was the phone all the cool kids had in middle school. Back then I had a note 3 😂

I’m getting an iCloud locked one for 15 leva (about $8) and I’ll try to unlock it.

Screw Apple! The iPhone 5C was the best iPhone ever made. It was durable and a plastic back is what we need. Not stupid glass backs that break require tearing apart the entire phone to change. My wife’s iPhone XR just took a dump. The baseband cpu crapped out. So I pulled out the old 5C sitting in the drawer and swapped the sim. BOOM back up and running until I go buy a new one tomorrow. 🙄 The reason the 5C was the only iPhone still in the drawer. Because, it is built like a tank. It held up where others didn’t.

I never even realized that the 5c didn't sell well. Almost everyone I knew got the 5c instead of the 5s in school, but that was probably partly due to "everyone I knew" being in middle school at the time. Parents didn't wanna spend the extra money to get their kids the 5s.

This was my 2nd iphone next to iphone 4. I really enjoy having this phone.❤

I hope they do this again. One plastic shell case.

My first iPhone 🥹 To a 6s, 11 Pro, and now 13 Pro. Current one is the best by far but the 11P and 6s were amazing in their day (6s had garbage battery though). 5c was pretty meh but I got it in 2015 so it was already older lol loved the blue color of that thing.

This was my first iphone, an upgrade to my iPod touch. I had the blue iPhone 5c in high school. I dropped it a lot and I thought the hardware broke because of that lol

I really like the body of the 5c. I had had a white one and no other iPhone (or any phone for that matter) lay so good in the hand as the 5c. Also the weight was perfectly balanced. When you feel one in the hand it felt dense instead of a cheap plastic thing. I only wished it had the hardware from the 5s, so that is was a bit faster.

I have an iphone 11 but my iphone feels fucked up, broke the back glass twice and the screen is cracked almost evrywhere, the face id doesnt work and it has tons of bugs. I have been planning on getting a secondary phone, here the 5c because of it's quirky and fun design which really brings back the fun we initially looked for when going onto the internet, plus I found some at less than 50$ so why not giving it a try lol

Great video. I still think that the iPhone 5c is an excellent collection item

My first ever iPhone ❤️ So much nostalgia, same color too

I had the green one and I loved it. Unlike the glass backed ones, you could go case less and not worry about it falling a foot onto a pile of cushions and hearing the glass break into a mosaic of Tim Apple with a caption of kaching!!

My dad had one bought from his boss, wayyy back in 2013. Thought it was the coolest thing ever since our household (SEA) haven't gotten the iphone hype then. Still has it now as my personal audio player, since the only online music player that still works is apple music, and the audio jack is *chef's kiss*, even better than my S10+'s

ill recommend you iPhone SE (2016) if you want an old small phone

unforgettable beauty

Watching this on my white iPhone 5c

Im ordering iphone 5C. Since im always Wanted to try out 😅

We need another plastic phone. I want the no camera bump plastic colour options but with 120hz screen and iPhone 15 screen.

I honestly think this phone is perfect for kids. Maybe preteens my daughter spoiled so she has my 13 mini but this will go for my son.

This device could be paired with  watch series 1/2 along with the iOS 10 in it with watchOS 3.

You can’t even activate this phone anymore in the US. It lacks VoLTE, which is the bare minimum every phone needs to have now.

I remember spring 2015. I was 16 years old in high school and after begging my parents to get me the new iPhone 6s that everyone had they took me to the Apple Store. At first I was dissapointed that they got me a 5c instead, especially cause I got bullied at school for not having the 6s. Now that I have a 14 pro I miss this classic simple phone especially cause it was my very first phone. Now I bully and roast those who still have a 6s in 2023 🗿

I was so broke about a mont ago i used this phone for 1 whole year i loved it and i still use it to this day

Remember when phones didnt cost 1000 bucks

I’m actually using one as my phone rn

My co-worker got this phone and I remember her saying it's "ITALIAN plastic" whatever the hell that means

I have iPhone 5c with broken screen bcs I broke it knowingly. And mine 5c is at 100% and after 10 sec on 30% and after not even 30 sec. The phone is dead

Do you recommend it as a cheap option for an office phone? Just doing phone calls and things like that

I hate big phones, I drop my mini constantly because its too big for one handed use by just enough to be annoying, I want a phone this size again.

My old iPhone 5c is running decently fast for its age

Did you chip the screen while making this video?

The blue iPhone 5c is the best iPhone Apple ever made.

Good times with this phone

I'm assuming these don't even get signal anymore?

I have an iPhone 5S

I can still play the last version of supported Minecraft on mine!

I’m saving money to buy this cute phone even though I have an iPhone 8😮😊

i wanted a nostalgic rush not a fact check

I would say XR is the older sibling of 5C

7:54 what is the name of the game he played in this video ??

Does the 5c work woth mint mobile??

But for less than a 3.5g of zaza id say worth it

“It’s only 60hz” meanwhile the iPhone 15 is 60hz in 2024 💀Really shows you how apple doesn’t change their phones very much. I’ve used iPhones for 7 years but i think I’m going to switch to Samsung. The fold in particular, Samsung is just way more innovative and who wouldn’t want an iPad that folds into a phone

well, complaining about screen size is has no sense, because back in the days it was big screen for us

I have same phone and in same color. I use it as ipod in my car

In 2017 i was using a vodafone smart mini 4 with no front camera 😂😂😂😂😂😂 and in 2018 a huawei y360 and then in 2019 a s5 mini with the top part of screen where camera is broken off 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I have one in snot green too bad I forgot the passcode and the battery is cooked like my rice

Eh, still beats the pants off those chinese digital cameras.

Lol. Cool. Btw, does RU-vid work on it?

I also have it don’t worry it’s not my main phone 😂😂

My first phone….

Can i fb here?

Found it for 10$ today 😂

BOYCOTT APPLE TO SAVE PEOPLE'S LIVES

Me using 5c as daily lol

Nice

The first mistake is having it run anything above iOS 8 🤷🏽‍♂️

I dislike this video. The iPhone 5c is garbage.

All iphones cameras are crap. Even the 2024 phones are just trash. I bought a Samsung phone and I'm never going back to the iPhone. iPhones are way behind in the past. Overreacted and over priced only fools buy it 😂

two of them bricked on me back in the day
