If it weren’t for Pokémon go, I would probably use an iPhone 5 or 5s as my daily driver. Using old Apple devices is such a great feeling and they are also so much smaller and lighter.
Get an SE1
@@theameoww now with an ios 15 jailbreak coming out, I am tempted!
why not iphone 12 mini?
@@comradeuro4255 Still a bit expensive and big for me, also it would be hard to find one a jailbreakable version. Also it doesn’t have the “retro” factor
Get SE or iPhone 13 mini
The iPhone 4 style was my favorite by far. I had the 4S and loved it after apple moved to the all metal backs I stopped buying iPhones and moved on to android for a time, I got the note 9 as it was glass on the front and rear with metal edge just as the 4S. Then apple released the SE 2020 with metal and glass with the classic home button I picked one up in the first week and have been using it everyday. This video was just right.
How's the battery
@@xXGeorgLPXx not good, but new version are just better than S22 ultra
I have an SE 2020 and I want to get a 12 Pro because of the flat edges and the glass on the front and back.
iOS 6.1.3 was perfect
Same here
I used an iPhone 4 as my daily driver for _many_ years (up until last weekend, actually); I had it on iOS 7.1.2, jailbroken (yes it was slow but it worked). I had Twitter, Minecraft, Instagram, TH-cam, Discord all working, my music library synced, all of my e-mail accounts loaded, iMessage working, etc. The battery somehow lasted over multiple days (2 days with normal use, sometimes 4-5 when I barely turned it on (in standby)), so even for a 12 year old phone, it worked well for me.
I upgraded to an iPhone 12 mini which I updated to iOS 16 this morning. It's insanely fast, has a much better camera, better screen (not such a fan of how big the phone is though), and like a million other features that take a bit of getting used to but are generally nice QoL improvements. I never upgraded from my 4 as it did all that I needed it to, and having an up-to-date phone wasn't my biggest concern exactly.
I'm still getting used to my 12 and it's quirks from a nine-versions-newer OS and the lack of my beloved jailbreak tweaks and personalisation, but I like it. The battery on the 12 mini when new is roughly equivalent to my 4 when it was around the age of 10 years old, but I'll let that pass given all the extra computationally-demanding stuff newer phones do these days.
The iPhone 4 served me well for the 12 years I had it. Hopefully I can drag this 12 mini through the next decade as well, lol. :P
I just can't see how you could use iP4 until now ? I would believe you can use iP4S. I know it doesn't seem like a big difference but iP4S is just way more powerful and actually the camera is at least usable in comparison to iP4.
Wow thats a big jump! I went from a 6s to an 11 and it took some time getting used to not having the home button and having the notch. But after a short while I got used to it.
@@Romif_SK The 4S runs iOS 9.3.6 I believe. It's certainly faster and more up-to-date than the 4, but my needs didn't require anything more than what iOS 7 could give me - so I stayed on the 4.
Wow how surprisingly, did you also got Spotify working or not? Because I also have my iPhone 4 here laying around and now after that video I also want to try that out :)
@@djpronic I prefer a local music library, rather than streaming - so I don't use Spotify. Spotify definitely does have versions from the time of the iPhone 4 so I would definitely say that you _can_ get Spotify on there - I just don't know if/what else there is that you need to get it working, sorry.
I was using a 6s plus until recently, legit still does the job after years of newer iPhone models being released. It’s insane how reliable iPhones are compared to other phones.
Don’t know about reliable.
@@EastDallasKicks I sold my iPhone 4s in 2017 for $100. To be fair, they’re only as reliable as the owner that uses them. 😅
Still using my 6s, not a problem in six years and a few months since launch. Of course the glass was broken a few times, and the battery is now at 70% of usability, but don’t have any plans to buy another. Hoping IOS 15.7 give him at least two more years of use before apps start shutting down. So if everything goes well, i should buy Iphone 16. 😅
iPhone six is considered old?!?! I didn’t know that. Im an artist and have been drawing and animating on my 6s for months. A year before I was using my iPhone 5 but the phone screen cracked
@@EastDallasKicks if you're using an android around the same age it would be dusted and grindingly slow. lol
This channel perfectly captures that nostalgia I have for these old Apple devices. I grew up with my dad having all the newest iPhones at the time, I remember being so blown away by how sharp the screen was on the 4 and how cool it was to see yourself with the front facing camera. I used to play loads of old games like Fruit Ninja and this one game that i can't remember the name of (you throw paper balls into a bin in like an office sort of setting, it was really fun)
Great times they were indeed, time flies x)
We'll probably look back at these times we have now in the future and just wonder how far tech has come.
The paper ball game was called "Paper Toss"
Man I remember Paper Toss, that game was fun
Paper Toss sadly isn’t available for download much like the original iCopter (easier version)/less glitchy and Paper Glider
Paperball app is Office Jerk?
the game is called papertoss, i think
i still have the 1st iPad from 2010 , jailbroken and it still rocks. back then i decided to backup all the ipa for this ipad and im super glad how worth while it was, can still play all the classic games on it, and twitter , reddit and OG youtube works.
I've got iPhone 4 with iOS 7 but jailbroken it and installed 6.1.3 with dualboot Cydia app. 6.1.3 was best at that time and it can be seen as "true" iOS that started to change rapidly after iOS 7. I use it for fun to play "oldschool" games like old Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja etc. It's an amazing device and with how easy battery can be swapped to new im suprised these are still cheap as hell.
Can you provide the tutorials you used?
The battery is easy to replace but the screen is a nightmare. took me 3 attempts to repair the screen of mine.
@@GalaxyGamer-qn1mv It's very easy, remove bottom screws, slide back glass up, screw battery cable off, use pull tab to get battery out. And install the new one and do the opposite.
This gave me so much nostalgia, the thick iMac, the old icons, the iPhone 4, redsn0w, everything.
I love staying on old iOS versions, it just sucks that some apps I kinda need require newer versions and some websites don’t load correctly which is very annoying.
I daily a jailbroken iPhone 5 until last month when I got myself a secondhand iPhone 12 Pro. For a phone that was a decade old it’s pretty nifty. Didn’t plan to fully retire that ol’ beauty too, since it’s still a fantastic second modem and an iPod, among other things.
I still use it as my "jogging phone". My music is locally stored in it. I just switch my SIM card to it and I'm off to jog. It has a headphone jack so I can use inexpensive earbuds or pair it with Bluetooth headphones if I ever get a pair. It's light and small enough that it's not slapping against me when running..
It is definitely my favorite iPhone. It was compact and had a good heft to it that I liked. Also one of the most repairable Iphone's ever. If you had basic skills in repairing phones that phone will pretty much never completely die lol. I'm going to buy one and have it as a dedicated media player or something, they're dirt cheap nowadays.
I have mine and still use it. It's like a "vintage" device now. I use it for podcasts, spotify, apple music and audiobooks.
Did you jailbreak for use with Apple Music?
My all time favorite is the iPhone 5. The combination between its shape, top power button and screen size is just perfect! Although it kinda competes with the iPhone 4 which has the glass back panel.
Looking back it’s actually amazing that they fit all of that technology in such a small form factor. Obviously we’ve gone along way but it was amazing at the time.
with modern tech they could probably make it very powerful and keep the form factor. maybe even match battery life with the iPhone 13 mini, if since it those big bezels and the small screen
@@ZverseZ definitely possible for them to fit certain tech into that body. Of course it would have to be a bit thicker but if unihertz can fit a headphone jack on a 3 inch phone as well as a big battery and charging port. Apple has no excuses.
@@dani12361 The Unihertz Jelly 2 had major overheating problems because it was a bit too small. Heat makes lithium batteries lose power quickly, making the jelly's small battery supply even smaller.
However unihertz definitely made the right move with the headphone jack, these usb-c adapters are annoying to deal with and stupid expensive. And I don't enjoy my battery dying on bluetooth devices
@@ZverseZ I’m only using it as a reference the jelly is way smaller than the iphone 4. I’m just saying if unihertz can do that then so can Apple. Btw all phones and electronic devices heat up with heavy use. That’s kind of what they do…
@@dani12361 My jelly 2 was overheating running angry birds for 20 minutes, within 2 hours it was dead
I can understand to some level all devices heat up but that's a complaint I've seen across the internet. Maybe if it had a more expensive processor it could've handled it
Edit: anyways I'm getting off topic, I definitely agree that the only reason modern smartphones (especially tablets) got rid of the headphone jack was to sell their overpriced wireless earbuds
I still have my 64GB iPhone 4s. I use it exclusively as an iPod and with my old 30-pin connector stuff.
I had a 30 GB iPod 5.5 prior, but the drive was dying so I recovered the music on it onto my former iPhone instead.
Had to get a new battery for it last week, tho (it was manufactured in 2012 and turned spicy pillow in 2022, I'd call that a good run).
Otherwise it's still in mint condition thanks to the Ballistic Tough Jacket case and tempered glass screen protector.
Luckily, when the original battery swelled up, the plastic frame separated from the glass back, allowing the original back glass to bend and not break.
Took all of a day to go from normal sleek iPhone to fully ballooned out of it's case. Cell was still stable, holding charge and reporting good health right until the swelling, too.

How did he get iBeer (the original one) and other older version Apps like Shazam? I can't seem to download them, even with the famous arm64 solution or the Checkmate, Store! tweak. My my iPhone runs iOS 6.
Older iOS devices were so much more responsive and less bloated. They topped out at 16gb because that's all you needed back then.
I remember owning a white 4S and I loved the all-white of it. I miss it after seeing this video, and a great device to still use.
I am mostly not too bothered what phone I have as long as it has plenty of onboard storage and will receive updates for a good while! As excited as I am to get an iPhone 14 Pro soon, I am mainly getting it because it has 1TB onboard storage and it will be the last iPhone to have a Lightning port and a physical SIM slot. I may sound a bit cheap for having got my iPhone 5 back in the day shortly after the 5S and 5C came out but I was still stuck with a 3GS, I needed a phone I could use iOS 7 on and money was a bit tight. Apple could announce a new iPhone with the same display technology as they used in the late 2000s and a basic camera but I'd still pick that as my next phone if it at least had a new (enough) processor, 1TB (maybe even 2TB) onboard storage and was guaranteed to keep getting updates for at least 4 years!
The iPhone SE (2016) pretty much checks this. It’s a beast
iPhone 14 doesn’t have a SIM card esim only
@@DaleyBoy2267 The US handsets don't have physical SIM trays but the ones sold here in the UK do!
The iPhone 14 doesn’t have a Sim card it’s Esim only. At least in the United States.
@@9852323 Looks like it will have a physical SIM slot here in the UK, where eSIM isn’t much of a thing?
My iPhone 4s stopped to work last year. But I still have it! In my opinion, the most beautiful iPhone ever made.
please make more of these videos! I'd love to have the perfect iOS version for every device
Man! What Nostalgia trip this gave me I remember when they announced this I was trippin hard to get myself one of these and the 6 and 6s came out now that was a game changer.
this is really helpful for my grandparents old iphone 4 they have that i found and is now charging, ready to be used for this video
I've been waiting for this video. 🙌
How did you get Guitar Hero working on your device? All the IPAs online I have tried crash on loading.
I just love this man’s setup
At 4:37 what charger are you using and where can I buy it?
Love this dude
You deserve way more subs man, great content :D
I have a tethered iPhone 4 running 4.1 but the jailbreak tweaks don’t work for whatever reason. Also I need an untethered version, I really can’t stand the tether boot you do every single time you shut it off! I have a late 2014 Mac mini with Mac OS big sur, will it still work with my iPhone 4?
I just love his videos. Really really cool.
Holy childhood……. Even just seeing those apps was a massive throwback of memories I completely forgot about!
The iPhone 4S was my first phone ever (got it in 2013, time flies!) and it’s still my favorite phone. Its size was perfect for my hands and pockets. When the iPhone 13 mini came out I was ecstatic until I found it that it was still much bigger than the iPhone 4 and 5 models. I wish 3G was still around so I could use that old device :,(.
Thanks!!
I have my iPhone 4s running iOS 9 and everything works grate even the AppStore and modern day apps
Can you synch itunes to this with high sierra? I was able to get an iphone classic to do it which is why i am curious
Mine can download apps from app store, without jailbreak.. And, I want to use it to phone calls. Can i do it?
I jailbroke iOs 7.1.2 on the iphone 4 installing a mod on it stucked it on a bootloop. Is there any way to fix?
I love ur videos sm!! :D
Please make a tutorial for downgrading I’ve been crying for a well done one for the longest plssss😩🙏🏼 love your vids keep up the great work!
Can’t you make calls on it? Isn’t it a 3G phone?
I still have a iPhone 4s and loved it years ago... was thinking about using it as a daily driver for a week to reminisce .. its running IOS9.3.6
Has anyone else noticed the sound difference between example iPhone 4s and iPhone X... i miss and prefer the older sounds especially the keyboard!
@@speedbrain666 I have 4S as well with that 9.3.6. Version. I wonder how it can be used smoothly. Even TH-cam doesn't open, it keeps buffering even though we have Verizon 5G wifi at home!
How to download I phone6 unsupported apps ? Like a TH-cam , Instagram social media apps?
Switched to Iphone SE 2016 as my daily and only device this summer. Feels cool after so many years with android phones. I also like that i can use it completely with one hand!
That’s great! I use both the SE 2016 an SE 2020, just switch out the SIM card. I love the smaller size of the original SE
can this phone make usable with windows pc?
Thank you I agree the iphone 4 is still feels great & I'll bust it out to start it up again
I was looking for cables in an drawer where old cables go to die and found my iPhone 4 in its box. Busy charging it now and will jailbreak it as soon as it is charged. I forgot how cool the phone is. Going to love putting it to use again (probably mostly for music but that is still awesome! Thanks for the video.
Well The checkmate store doesn't seems to work because it still asking me to buy and ended up saying "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". Do I have to use vpn or something or other tweaks from Cydia? Yeah I'm only still using iOS 9 on my iPad 2. Also I still need some tweaks that lets you access modern web or fully access any social media.
i wonder if u can jailbreak ur newer iphone to make it look like a 1:1 copy of old ios
Where can i download the application he use to sideload ??
I still have an iPhone 4 but it’s on iOS 7 and jailbroken and I was unaware I could downgrade. This is fantastic news! I also have a 3GS.
I loved my iphone 4 it was jailbroken running like a champ. Thanks for the memories.
Is there any where, where I can download ipa's
My first smartphone was a hand-me-down iPhone 4, which I jailbroke on iOS 7 in 2014. I now use a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra (because I switched to Android in 2017), and I'm looking forward to getting a Galaxy Z Fold phone eventually.
Is there any way that this phone can be upgraded internally.
Is it still possible to install applications on an iphone 4s IOS 7.1.2 nowadays?

I keep an ipod 4th gen as my dedicated music player in my car always hooked up to bluetooth. Whenever it's too cold or too hot, i'll keep it on me and occasionally bring it out and have everyone around me go on a nostalgia trip but also simultaneously chastise me for using an ipod.
Will there be an solution to downgrade an iPhone 6 to ios 8 ?
I Still have a 4s stored, recently found it in a drawer, and to this day and still works perfectly
my iPhone 4 is not syncing with music From my MacBook Air after I updated to monteray,can u suggest something?
This is amazing video with a lot of great helpful works very you.
This was my high school phone, this and the 4s. I was absolutely enthralled the first time I saw this design, and it wasn't until years later that I actually carried one. No sim card, just WiFi. I was living with the iPhone 4 around the time iOS 7 hit and then muscled my way into a 4s. Now that I work and get paid, I still use older phones. I have a strong fear of being without a headphone jack.
I strongly recommend the SE 1st-gen. I still use one as my secondary phone and it's great
can you make one for iphone 4s as well please because the og tutorial to put it down to ios 6 doesnt work anymore
How do you restore oleophobic coating on it to make finger slide ok? Tempered glasses make screen look "sweaty", and original coating will wear in duration of 3-4 years to almost unusable fingerprint magnet

Use iCloud Photos?
I’m sure there are tweaks that allow legacy social media apps to work properly with the old layout. If you could find them that would be so cool.
I'm pretty sure Facebook would still work in a web browser. Facebook still works on Mac OS 9, I'd be shocked if it didn't work on iPhone 4.
i still have the talking cat to this day, it was the reason i wanted a touch screen phone years ago when someone showed it to me !
Its 2022 and I'm still using iphone 5s, i replaced the battery recently and it works really fine🙂soo nostalgic
Can it play videos on youtube app?
Ive seen that In the iphone 4s I cannot just flash the phone with its stock software with a different battery. It needs an original battery. Is it possible to flash an Iphone 4s with Itunes without the original battery?
My favourite phone ever, when this came out I had to have it. Stainless steel and glass with an aluminium element vapor case.
Nice I found one running iOS 4 2 days ago
please make a video on the ipad 3 as well, really beautiful device with a screen better than a lot of newer android tablets
Can we do the same with iPad 3?
You should definitely make a video about the PS Vita, such a cool device!
I’d love to make one haha
My very first iPhone. 😎 Purchased it in August of 2010, for about $300. AT&T.
I recently saw a guy using a 4 or4s it was wild to see someone still using it
Just found my ip4, can you guide me on how i sign in to my iCloud account
Since it keep asking to enter password and my other device for clarification but still doesn’t work
I love how the new iPhones have gone back to that blocky style. iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 were my favorite designs out of all of them, and the 12 brought that back which I'm sure gave a ton of older Apple users nostalgia. I dont much like most of what Apple does in terms of data and stuff like that, but my phone right now is an iPhone 6s and I love it. Apple knows how to please their audience, which is why they're still one of the biggest phone companies out there.
Yeah, But Surely, Controversial Statement, They haven’t added The Notches Yet, You Might Be Saying “But They Removed The Notch Because, No Notch Equals Bigger Screen Or Size” But Honestly, I Don’t Care About The Sizes, Enlarging The Screen To The Point It’s As Large As A Clock? Yeah Not so iPhone-ish Move Right There, IF Ya Wanna Bigger Device Then Use A Damn iPad To Play Extreme Games, And iPhones For Minigames Like Angry Birds, Jetpack Joyride ETC. And Phones Were Mean’t To Be Small, Or Average Medium Size, Not Too Dang Big.
I love your videos man you are a awesome
I use my iPhone 4 to play my old, nostalgic games. Since Apple removed the ability to download old games in iOS 11, and my iPhone 4 is on iOS 7, I can play my old games on the phone.
Does anyone know how to activate the phone if it doesn't have a sim card
would this work on gen 1 ipad?
Up until last month I used an SE from 2016, and it is still a perfectly capable phone. I switched to 13 mini, but it's just not the one. It's big, and heavy. I wish Apple would make a phone into the house of the SE without the upper chin and home button, and latest specs.
I still use my iPhone SE (2016). Had it for 6 years now, going to get the battery replaced soon.
Please make a video how to downgrade iPad 2 from IOS 9 to a older video becuase I have one and it is very slow on the iOS 9
I have an iPhone 4 on iOS 7.1.2 and it seems to work perfectly. I have even found some games for it too.
Can u make a tutorial on how to downgrade one to iOS 4?
It’s complicated, you need a macbook and use a program called cherryflowerjb to downgrade it back to iOS 4
use legacy iOS kit
Use coolbooter
