I Bought The WORST iPhone in 2024 - iPhone 5C

Fun phone to look back on, I wouldn't suggest purchasing one, as you can buy a 2020 SE that is still supported for only $30-$50 more.

I was aware at the time that the 5C was just a reskinned 5. I didn't mind it at all because the plastic built and rounded corners and edges made it comfortable to hold. I'm planning to buy one for my collection.

I loved the 5C. I never used a case on it and it never broke from a drop. I still have it in my desk. I don't care that it was less powerful then the next one. The 5S was more fragile. It felt good in the hand unlike this flat edge 5S. But that's just me.

For me it's hilarious that people keep pointing out the plastic back as the biggest fail. Plastic shells are NOT a bad thing, they are lighter and allow for better antenna reception. The rest of the festures are what makes it bad

[Tristin]

Modern phones could definitely have headphone jacks, but they omit the jack, on purpose, to sell wireless ear buds. They can't convince me, otherwise.

[Tristin]

Everyone bashes the hard plastic that was on the 5c, but not the fragile glass that's on modern phones. If I couldn't have the aluminum, I'd rather have the plastic back.

Old iphone somehow, really looks cool

[goobfilmcast]

This is LOVE LOVE LOVED my iPhone 5C, It was white with the Black Apple "grilled" case.

[miraclecookie]

I like this, probably more durable than any other glass back phones

[omarvargas]

I sincerely think you missed the point. Apple was starting their pivot towards “inclusivity” and being unique so the difference in colors was how they gave people options to show off their “personalities” I just bought it because it was green and solely for that reason 😆

[alifranggaxx]

they take it back on 14 and 15 series, that "a year old hardware"

[hstallcup]

I believe it was released in 16gb and 32gb, the 8gb came a year later. That green was my favorite color iPhone until the 13 Mini Green came out!

[RideOnTimePH]

Seeing the thumbnail and the title... my immediate reaction is "oh no... not usable"
Unless you will use it as a media player and dumb phone (we still have 2G-5G in the Philippines).

Apple moving to 64-bit is one of the greatest things that they did. The last supported software of iphones are still fast enough to not frustrate you. I am typing this in my first gen SE and I can still do a lot of things that my 12 mini does. I also still have my iphone 5 which is the same as the 5c. That phone is so freaking slow. You can downgrade to 8.4.1 which is faster but no apps work anymore.

3:33 you could of hotspotted internet from your other phones or used mobile data on the 5c for going on the internet

[LoganLayneOffical]

I have a salmon model with a green case it’s my fun little water melon phone

[Whatthe]

I love the 5c video on how it's made

[dave]

So nostalgic, that dot case was something else tho

[pinkflamingo]

That was my first iPhone. Our company issued them to replace our BlackBerry.

[Cadiaan.]

The worst is the iPhone 16 with its side camera button and Its price is higher than 15 and nothing changes

[MrOrtmeier]

I had the 5C after having had the 5. I liked the plastic body, it was fun. The problem is that they kept the 5 internals. It should have had Touch ID and the 5S cpu. That would have made it more popular.

I didn’t like the metal back of the 5 which is why I got the 5C. Plus you didn’t have to baby it because it was plastic

I loved my Blue IPhone 5C, I got a carrier deal so it was cheap plus cute!
