The cameras might have improved, the battery bigger and the display brighter but the speed is a different story.

It's crazy how you can see the iPhone 5 running iOS 6, and see the similarly looking iPhone SE (first generation) with iOS 15, and compare them side by side, and both look like the same phone.

First iPhone with lightning and first iPhone with usb-c

Crazy to see how the iPhone 5 even after 11 years can hold its ground against the iPhone 15 Pro in some aspects. The nostalgia of iOS 6 and the design of the 5 still stand out

[marcezs]

I honestly think we hit a speed plateau, newer phones might be "15% faster" but it was already a 200ms loading screen so 15% just means 30 less milliseconds which is basically imperceptible anyways. It makes sense that apple would throttle phones to make new ones seem even faster when the increase is imperceptible otherwise

[JamesHanks]

they even cut down on the stickers lmao

Can we all just talk about how Hugh absolutely smashed every single game while playing on BOTH phones at the same time?

Not to mention that perfect Flappy Bird run 😂

Man, seeing the skeuomorphic iOS 6 OS is nostalgic!

[rodrigo]

my first iphone was a 6S bought used in 2016. Used that phone until 2021 when I upgraded to a used 12 mini. That phone was amazing, and never felt slow! My mother still uses it to this day :D

Actually this is the first time I've learned about the splash screen trick, very neat programming! Functionally it doesn't matter if the menu is loaded this fast because as a human you can't make decisions that fast, but what matters is how quickly you start seeing it, which is achievable with a splash screen. Kinda reminds me of the infinite FPS trick in 3d games, where each real frame the picture is rendered into a 2d image that is shown in 3d like a billboard, with few additional tricks. Provided that you don't move your camera around like crazy, this will give you the ability to adjust your aim in ultra smooth 999+ fps while realistically having 15 real fps of full 3d graphics.

If im completely honest, my favorite iPhone of all time is the iPhone 5S. Touch ID was introduced, and jailbreaking was at its peak in my opinion. That and at its time it was just a really solid phone with minimal compromises. I currently main an SE 2, but it isnt the same. I miss having a headphone jack and a smaller form factor.

I still have my iPhone 5S in its box in my office. Every once in awhile I'll pull it out and have a look. It's amazing how small it is compared to phones today. It was definitely a simpler time. The 5S is still a beautiful phone (and the 5), but time has marched on. Thanks for the video.

My dad’s old iPhone 4 on 7.1.2 with the original battery somehow runs faster than my school’s iPad on iOS 17

[prathamkaushik]

is no one going to talk about that unbeaten unhinged godlike flappy bird gameplay?

[kokop]

This just goes to show how long a phone could last if it wasn't for the manufacturers planned obsolescence

[robinrai]

It's the same how Windows 98 PCs on spinning rust can open programs like Explorer or Word just instantly while nowdays you have to wait a moment no matter how fast the hardware

It's an absolute shame how software's gotten so bloated on all platforms, apps these days are like half a gigabyte each and for what?!

[Stock--Rosso]

I have an iPhone 14 max, but re-bought an old HTC M10 for £30, just to use as an MP3 player and it sounds amazing due to the DAC. Some old phone features trounce the newer breeds. SOME DO🤣 Great video👍🏼

I miss my iPhone 5 and iOS 6 that slide to unlock hits different

[crestofhonor]

I could say the same thing with many computers of the past decade as long as they have an SSD installed. For general stuff the difference isn't that big

[thunderbolt]

iOS 6 was a technical marvel. I have never used a piece of software as refined, stable and fast as iOS 6. Apple has never topped it and I doubt they ever will since practically the entire team that was responsible for iOS 6 is no longer with Apple. People get caught up in the visual design of 6 and prior, but they don't understand how incredibly basic and simple the system actually is. iOS 7 gave the illusion that it was simpler, but it added way more complexity to the system.

Crazy thing is I was just saying how my old iPhone 6 Plus on iOS 12 seems more stable than my iPhone 11 on iOS 17. Tim Cook and the current team at Apple should be ashamed of themselves. I stopped being interested in Android and iOS after 2012 and just used both of them back-and-forth but since I’m slowly getting back into the tech world, I still can’t find a phone that is good for me all around without the continuous going back-and-forth between the two operating systems. This my love and hate relationship between the two.
