iPhone 5 still looking good. Source: NölSch.de
I own a 2012 iPhone 5 and today I decided that I won’t be buying a new iPhone. I do like the new iPhones, it’s just that I don’t see the added value for me to buy a new one, and I think I’m not the only one in this situation. My “old” iPhone 5 holds up perfectly to my current needs. And I say “current needs” because “Back in the day” I would basically try out all the apps and play all the games. But Today, more than 80% of those apps are long gone. Either I lost interest or they made a really good mobile website that does the job just fine. Today, next to the native apps like Safari and mail, I only regularly use Reddit, Youtube and the mirror apps for Sketch and Photoshop. I have other apps installed, but those are just there when I need them. "You never know when you might need that QR scanner"? Wrong! You never need a QR scanner, so you can safely delete it.
That said, I don’t really need the newest A10 processor or a double photo lens in my daily use. It woul
