unboxing a SEALED iPhone 5 in 2022! 

I am 1000% positive that having all the stuff in one box vs 4 separate ones is better for the environment.

I always thought of the iPhone 5 as the most beautiful phone I've ever seen.

back when apple included their earphones and their charger in the box, good times.

I had the iPhone 4S and remember when the 5 came out. It had the larger screen and I really wanted one at the time. However, I waited to upgrade and when the iPhone 6 came out with its "large" 4.7" screen, that's the one I got. The 6 lasted me until the XR was released and I actually still have it and it still works on iOS 12.

I worked for Apple around this time and sold hundreds of these per week. We did a setup usually for the customer so the unboxing was like 60% of my day. I personally had every iPhone from the first 3G to the 12 today and I remember for the 5 I went white for the first time. Funny that! It was a good phone. Apple retail was brutal and changed very dramatically in a bad way from how it was for me originally in 2008 until I had to leave in 2014. Originally an incredible place to work and very exciting and innovative. They had no targets and expected us to simply ensure each customer got the right product with no upselling as a part of their “credo” - a paper fold out of the company standards that we wore in our name tag lanyards. That changed as soon as Jobs died. We became a machine selling AppleCare, “attachments” (such as cases and screen protectors) and punished if you didn’t hit quotas (usually embarrassed by a league table in the “daily download” (a morning and afternoon shaming session in front of all staff). Awful atmosphere and very toxic. Because I was an early staff member who remembered the good old days I was very quickly snubbed out and still have PTSD to this day of how I was treated. Edit: I must add that your video brought back a nice memory, as around 2012 I was promoted to repair these in the Genius Bar. I remember great new friends and great music came into my life, I have life long friends from the amazing people I met at Apple, all of whom sadly look back on our time with an upsetting ending to an otherwise great experience. It could have been greater had we all been encouraged to stay.

its crazy this is 10 years old I remember being in middle school and saving up money for months so I could buy this phone. My mom and dad made me work to save up for it I had the money was ready to hand it to the cashier and then my dad pulled out his card and paid for half. Taught me a good lesson

Man I miss when iPhones actually felt new and had a new design every generation, instead of only focusing on what’s inside of the phone

When I was a 3rd-year college student, I dreamt of having this phone because it was really gorgeous back then. Plus you can also add cute cases to it. So when my father asked me to choose between iPhone 5 and 6, I chose this one. This is my first iPhone and I still remember the first time I had it, I can't stop using it. It's so cool. I still have it up to this day. Still works and is still fast and because I love its size, I chose iPhone 13 mini as my new phone this year. They're like relatives and they're so pretty!

iPhone 5 was actually the first smart phone I owned it holds a place in my heart

The iPhone 4s-6 era was my favorite. I ordered a 5s and 5c the other day just bc I nostalgic for that time

I went from a 2G, 3G, 3GS, 4 and onto a 5. The 4 was THE phone for me all the way up until the end of 2012. In Japan, it recorded a number of videos still on my channel and provided me with loads of awesome photos, but when I got my hands on the 5 in December of 2012, it was like being handed the keys and ownership to a Ferrari F40 in comparison to a BMW 7-Series. It was lightning fast, way lighter, had the smaller lightning USB port charger, charged faster, was slightly bigger but not uncomfortably so, felt even higher quality and never once felt like it lagged even after multiple software updates. Even after retiring it for an X, an 11 Pro Max, a 13 Pro Max and now a 14 Pro Max, I still retain the opinion that the iPhone 5 was THE best iPhone ever, bar none.

I had used an iPhone 5 for 4 years. I loved that phone even though it had lots of issues. I had both the power button, home button and battery replaced under warranty. Then I got dust inside the camera.

I remember the envy I had toward classmates who either had the iPhone 4 or iPhone 5 in middle school. It’s all good I have the 14 pro max now 😂

Definitely one of the best looking iPhones ever (along with iPhone 4), not to mention the lovely skeuomorphic design of IOS 6. I'm a Samsung user but iPhone just don't feel special anymore. Our old iPhone 4 feels very premium, while my brothers iPhone 11 just feels like another phone. I've been trying dualboot or flash my old iPhone 4 with an older IOS but it's just not working.

Man I'm so glad it turned out to be a legit bran new device, I own two iPhone 5's black and white running iOS 6, and I consider them the jewels of my Apple Classics collection, the best part is that I bought then like 5 years ago very cheap as old phones, the original owner didn't know its collector's value.

I have an iPad mini 2012 on iOS 6.1.3 that is really fun to look back at and use. It even works with my HomePod mini! Your iPhone 5 vid brought good memories! God bless!

My first ever iPhone was the 5. I had the 5s, and the first SE. Was my favorite phone. It's why I like the new squared redesigns. Recently got the 14 Pro Max because of it. I'd definitely still use the 5 if I had it these days. I do miss phones that small these days but I use my phone as my computer on the road so the bigger the better for now.

Whoa, sealed?!? I remember opening my sealed iPhone 6!

Great video. Can’t believe i just watched an unboxing of a 10 year old device. iPhone 5 Slate black was my first iPhone ever. And i still think it was the most beautiful iPhone ever.

My first iPhone I got was in 2012 was an iPhone 5 and i used that device until 2016, when i got a 6s Plus. I really enjoyed using the 5, and really miss the iconic Steve Jobs Era iOS 6, it brings back so much nostalgia and memories of me using it. I may use cool booter on my old iPad 4 to dualboot iOS 10 with iOS 6 in the future since there is no way to really downgrade over the air without a mac.

Imagine being an iPhone and waking up after 10 years! It must be tripping 🤣 That was and still is my favorite form factor, I remember upgrading from the iPhone 5, to 5s, to SE because I didn’t like the rounded, slippery edges of the iPhone 6. I now have have an iPhone 13 and I really enjoy it 😁 By the way, I didn’t know you were a fellow Canuck 🍁

My first ever iPhone was an iPhone 5 in white as well, so this video brings back so much memories. I loves the sides so much now I have a 4S, 1st gen SE and 12 pro max in my collection, while dailying a 14 pro.

Ahh, the nostalgia. The software more so than the hardware, for some reason

I currently use an iPhone 14 pro max but I still have my iPhone 5s and I love that phone. My favorite phone of all time was the iPhone 4s though because it was my first iPhone and I have so many memories using that thing. The design was also really good, which I why I love the phone 12-14 line up because it emulates that old design. Man crazy how times change

This was my favorite iphone all up to where i bought my iphone13 mini last year, which really is a tribute to this design.

Wow it has a charger and earbuds inside the box such a great deal.

Nice! It's always exciting to get a sealed iPhone on a old version of iOS! Just make sure the battery isn't expending bacause that can ruin the phone!

I still like the ui of ios 6 The color and design it fits great ! Looks realistic i just cant explain

I'm still using it now. I bought it second hand just this year. I can't let it go cause it's still so usefull. Can do email and other basic things. Love how small it is that I can hold it and use it in just one hand♥️

I’m using iPhone 14 on iOS 16 but man if given any option I’ll hands down would love to use iOS 6 . It’s the best iOS version ever

when i downgraded my 4s to 6.1.3 in 2018 going through this setup screen was so nostalgic

I miss when the iPhone 4 and 5 were still new phones the anticipation was so much higher back then than it was now. I was more excited to open my iPhone 5 than when I opened my iPhone 12 pro

It's my first time trying out iPhone since I was born in Android ecosystem. I went all in with the latest 14 Pro Max and I was happy and satisfied. I love it specially watching movies and tv series. the OLED screen, HDR and True tone works well hand in hand..

Oh the nostalgia, the iPhone 5 was the first apple phone I got in 2013. That exact one too... I still have the phone but it's beaten and actually bent in the middle slightly somehow but I used it as my day to day phone until 2018 when I moved to the 8, then the 8 went into the same draw (only for apple products) alongside my apple watch series 3 (have a series 6 now) and the first ever iPad (iPad original 2nd gen) I got in 2013 as well (now have a 2019 iPad) because I moved to the 13 when it released last year.

It’s crazy that this is 10 years old. I still remember a few buddies from work all gathered around the computer to buy these when they released. I think i was using the LG flex or LG g2 at the time this came out. I switched to iOS when the 6 came out.

I actually used this phone with IOS6 from launch in 2012 until 2017 before going to an SE. I was able to use it without issue until WhatsApp was finally unsupported and needed that work daily use. An amazingly great phone.

This is giving me nostalgia of my first phone in 2013 (IPhone 5), it’s funny how far the iPhone evolution has gone so far😢

I still have this, I never upgraded to 5s and above. I love this phone especially how my hands fit perfectly in it. Even though many apps is no longer supported I still use the phone speaking of which I'm watching this video in it.

this phone and the s6 edge where up their with the most gorgeous phones to come to the decade

I’ve got a black sealed one of these! Incredible

Man I've always wanted to find a sealed iPhone 5... I managed to find a iPhone 4s with iOS 6 which is my most prized iPhone in my collection, but man to get an iPhone 5 brand new with iOS 6 on it would be awesome... Great find man!!

My first iPhone ever. I had the black 64gb, love that phone I’m trying to find one that has ios 6 on it still! My first iPad was the 2nd gen, I remember buying it just a month before the 3rd gen with retina display came out and being super angry lol

nice video, I got an iPhone 5 iOS 8.0.1 with the box plus it came with everything (not sealed nor re-sealed) it was $25 off eBay

Ah yes. The iPhone 5. My first ever phone I got 10 years ago at a T-Mobile store. I loved that thing.

my mom bought a brand new 5s Gold when it was released, passed it to me when she bought a 6s and it's still being used as a backup phone till this day. the 5s design is still the best iphone ever designed till this day.

I have an iPhone 5 and it is still running so amazing even after all these years, just so amazing

My first iPhone was the 5s, this video brought back so many memories haha, good times

seeing something that wouldve been unboxed with an actual camera being unboxed nowadays and being filmed by an iphone is just showing how far phones have came

I love the iPhone 5 too, but I would really love to buy a new never opened iPhone SE first gen. Specifically rose gold with 128 gigs. I would settle on the color but definitely everything else. Do you have any advice on how I can get my hands on something like this?

OMG....these old packaging with headphones and more...so clean

Honestly, the 5 was my absolute favorite. Very nostalgic 😢

i love the 5s design. for me a big phone is too much for me, so i got the 13mini and it has been the best phone iv ever had.

I picked one of these up on eBay several years ago but not factory sealed in the box. I did manage to get a barely used one though. At least that's what the owner said and the condition was mint! It had been upgraded to iOS 9. I upgraded it to iOS 10.3.4. Still use it on occasion. I also have the iPhone SE original from 2016.

Incredible ! And it's not very expensive, for a sealed iPhone 5.

After having an iPhone 4, my next apple device was a 12 mini. So nostalgic.

I love the 5s, and the 1st gen SE. perfect design and cool your from Canada too.

I have to say: I think presentation is very important… and your voice sounds great! Clearly and pacific… so your hands and fingers looks so nice! Excellent job, keep it up! 🫰🏼✨

Going from the 3GS to the 5 was wild to me!!

I’m glad that i still have one. And it’s still in good condition

All in one box! I had the 5s(touch id) man i loved that phone.

I had the 5s as my first phone and I miss it so bad that I got the 13 mini just for the size. I miss that button

Great buy and awesome it was on iOS 6. I am looking on eBay right now for a new old stock 4S and 5. There are many sellers with hundreds of thousands of ratings selling lots of sealed new devices but most of them have library photos. Its a big gamble.

Sooooo jealous :) it would look even better in my awesome metal bumper case

I just pulled my old iPhone 5s out of storage yesterday and had trouble processing how small it is compared to modern iPhones.

iPhone 5 htc one released at the same time and of course I went for htc one what a beautiful phone

had no idea u record ur vids with an iphone. quality is superb

I loved iOS 6 back in day on my iPad 2 😊

This has to be an amazing feeling

How nostalgic is to see iOS 6 on iPhone 5 in 2022, I’d pick it up as well 🤓

I had this phone in black, beautiful device and it was durable asl

I had 4s and I've upgraded to 5 white, but as for me, black 5 is beautiful)

My first iPhone was an iPhone 5s and I upgraded it for an iPhone Xs Max. I still have it and it still works!

Such a beautiful phone 😳

Looks so cool and chic. I love it.

Just bought an Apple leather case for the SE 2016. Very hard to find for the 5 models. I had to get it from the UK on Ebay brand new.

I had iphone 5 for quite a long time then updated to iphoneXr, now I use 13. When I tried to use iphone 5 again, it felt like a toy cuz the screen was so small lol but it was my first iphone and never went back to android cuz android lags so much back then

Bro I’m still rocking the iPhone se (1st generation)💀.I’ve had it for 5 years now

What happens with the warranty… is it still valid? Since it’s never been activated before…

as it just been activated.. send it for warranty :)) curious on if they replace it

Man. How come you got legendary iPhone 5 . I used this phone 4 years then i switched to 5s then directly to 6s and so on . Currently using iPhone 12 . I still love the design of this phone. Very compact use with one hand easily.

Hands down my favorite iPhone. I remember when i bought back at the px on fort hood lol. Top tier

This phone felt like something special back in 2012 and 13 when I used to see it on people's hand.

Looking a little thick crazy to see what it use to look like compared to iPhone now

This is really aesthetic.

My dad had an iphone 5. I used to love playing fieldrunners on that thing. Damn

I had an iPhone 5c in blue. I used the iPhone for a little bit over 3 years. I gotten an iPhone 8 in November 2017. In late July 2020 that I got an iPhone SE(2) in white. That iPhone still works. That I got a big upgrade towards an iPhone 14 in purple since Black Friday 2022.

That’s the most beautiful iPhone. Where did you buy it?

I feel so old noww. I remember iphone 5s was released ppl were very hyped before and everyone who owns an iphone is considered rich or elite but nowwww idk anymore 😅 but the latest iphones are still great 😊

I remembered the iOS 6 truly nostalgic seen this

i wonder if activating it in 2022 also still activates its warranty

Currently using an iPhone 8. I always liked the black iPhone 5 running iOS 10. It's soo cool and modern.

cool! I love iPhone 5's. A sealed one especially is cool, I love the look of iOS 6 as well. Its amazing

This is the best looking iPhone of all time i love the fact the 12 upward took the same design

Using it right now. No regrets

I still have my iPhone 5 my problem is that I have to re jailbreak my device because I need to uninstall cydia but it dosen’t let me uninstall it

Wow. I still have all the original parts of my iPhone 5 including the box. The only thing is my iPhone 5 bent at one of its corners and the screen is shattered into hundreds of pieces. 😂

Watching an iP5 video while holding an iP14. Man how much I feel nostalgic. iP5 was my first iP ever :(

iPhone 5 was my first ever phone! It was a gift from my parents for being a salutatorian ☺

Back then unboxing the iphone felt wonderful as it had all these other things inside of the box. Now we just have the iphone and that's it...

iphone 5 on ios 6 is the dream phone. i wish it was usable as daily driver
