My Old iPhone 5c
Sunday, July 23, 2023
When our granddaughter is over she has this old iPhone 5c that was mine at one time. I absolutely loved that little thing but iPhone 7 FOMO got me to upgrade mid way through the iPhone 7 upgrade cycle. I kept the 5c as a test device, which is something I’ve done with all of my phones.
Fast forward a bit and the 5c is no longer useful as a test device because it’s 32-bit and Apple dropped OS support for that. So, it just sat in a drawer for quite a while.
Eventually I reset it and passed it on to our granddaughter as a toy. She loves talking to voice memos and writing stuff in note, so it’s kind of perfect for her. Oh, not to mention all the wild pictures we get. 🤣
Anywho, I had the 5c out last night charging it for her and realized how amazing it felt in hand. It made me wish I could have this exact form factor, plastic and all, with modern guts and a big storage device. Even if it still had the older camera I’d be cool with it.
Can someone get on that? Could modern M Series chips fit inside the smaller case and would the battery last? I kind of doibt it, but it would be fun to have.
