    Not in the US. The 5-6 use 3G for calling, when carriers dropped 3G, it made all of them basically useless as a phone.

    I wouldn’t use an iPhone 5 unless you like having unpatched security flaws on an internet connected device…

    Just a bad idea all around in my opinion

    you cant put an 5 screen on am se, only a 5s screen. also it is almost unusable, unless you are only using imessage and phone calls. the se will be way more useful, im typing this on an se 2016 rn cause i sold my 8 plus to get an iPhone 12 and it is beign an great phone, just the battery sucks and having only 16gnb on an 12gb ios is crazy

    The iPhone 5 won’t receive service from some carriers, atleast working at Tmobile I know we don’t support that old of iPhones. No updates too, prob not worth it

    I sorta wish I never upgraded my 4s and still use it with stock os. The only upgrade that phone really needed was to keep up with music.

    iPhone 5s you can use just for calling and texting nothing else but if you really want that size of iPhone you can go for iPhone SE 1st generation it’s same size with 64bit processor and with iOS 15 so mostly apps are supported still and 4g internet works fine
