I don’t understand why people weren’t into this iPhone. I have always wanted one, I love the colors, but I was way too young in 2013 to get one. now I can get one on eBay and love it.

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 YouTube as pure nostalgia.

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.

My first iPhone. I had the blue one and lost it during my freshman year of high school and never got it back. It was so cool to get a colored iPhone at the time when they only made white, silver, (maybe gold), and black. Ten years later and the iPhone is more colorful than ever. Ironically, I bought the iPhone 15 in white.

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

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

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👌

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

[sparksfly]

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

[SamanthaGutie]

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

[miamora]

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

[ClaytonZickafoos]

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! 😄😄

[splashboi]

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 😂

[stevenmartin]

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

[deankotevski]

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.

[artheemisia]

I used my 5C for 6 years. It was still fine when I got the Xr. I’m now using the 12 Mini. I prefer smaller phones…

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

[janusbartolome]

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

[cha-ka]

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.
