    Dropped iPhone 5 in water then charged

    I dropped my iPhone 5 in the water today (with a water-RESISTANT case) and I plugged it into the charger 10 minutes after drying it to make sure the charge was still holding. (Dumb, I know.) I unplugged it, turned it off and put it in rice for an hour. After another hour, I turned it on to check...

    Which iOS 10 features will be unavailable on iPhone 5?

    Apple says iOS 10 will be available for iPhone 5, but does anyone know what features will be unavailable for the 5? Obviously, anything related to TouchID and Apple Pay won't make it since the 5 doesn't have fingerprint scanner. Since Night Shift in iOS 9.3 wasn't made available to the iPhone...

    Cannot activate iPhone

    A while back when my brother's phone broke, we decided to use my old iPhone 5 as a temporary replacement for him. I did a factory reset on the phone, and we tried activating it with his SIM card but it wouldn't activate it. A month and a half later, just for the fun of it, I'm trying to...

But whilst the alarm was buzzing and making noise, the iPhone had nothing but a black screen and it wouldn't change when I had pressed the home button numerous times. After repetitively pressing the home button, the...

    iPhone SE Battery in iPhone 5?

    Any chance the SE battery will fit inside a iphone 5 battery as they're pretty much the same form factor. I bought a iphone 5 sim free of fleabay - new condition but the battery life is about the same as my 3 year old iphone 4. A SE battery inside it would improve this (or cause a massive...

    Should I wait for iPhone 7?

    I currently have an iPhone 5 and have been trying to hold out for the new iPhone, but my battery drains so fast...and I've had the phone for a long time, obviously. Should I get a 6s Plus or wait for the 7 Plus? If I wait, should I get one of the battery cases? If so, any thoughts or suggestions?

    iPhone 5 photo error

    I never really write on this forum unless I'm completely puzzled and can't find any information on something on the internet. Today I tried taking photos on my iPhone 5 with iOS 9 recently updated. Basically the photo gets taken, but all the options surrounding it is greyed out. So i can't...

    Downgraded from 6s Plus to 5 and I Love It

    Today I decided enough is enough. The 6s Plus is just too big. Sure, I can use the phone one handed, but it's just never comfortable and requires way too much effort. The real issue though is pocketability. I'm 5'6" and for the past 4 months there may as well have been a brick in my pants. I...
