Ultimate Nostalgic iPhone Experience

For people who want to remember back to the good old early iOS days. Custom-built classic iPhone 5 with all the apps and games you love from the iOS 6 era.

Highly modded iPhone 5. Details below -- this is a pet project of mine to bring back memories of mobile gaming as a kid, and after getting multiple requests from friends to “build them one” I’m seeing if people are interested in buying them online. Enjoy the best iOS 6 has to offer on the most advanced phone to ever run this version of iOS, set up out of the box for your pleasure.

Included Apps

All games & apps shown in listing photos!

Working (as of now) Instagram, Facebook, Dropbox, Reddit (via Alien Blue), Waze, and more!

Clash of Clans installed is the modded "Classic" variant, described here for an authentic 2011 experience.

Please let me know if there are any you would like to see added and I'll see what I can do!

 

Guides for Further Modification

I wrote an “iOS in 2023” guide which is available here. There are many other modifications which can be done to this jailbroken iOS 6 OS if you so desire!

The Specs

·         5ghz Wi-Fi support (first iPhone capable of this)

·         4G LTE (oldest iPhone capable of receiving a cellular signal in the US today)

o   See “Guides for Further Modification” link, section “Enabling VoLTE & SMS reception over 4G networks” for detailed information on capability

·         Newest processor to run iOS 6

·         16GB storage

o    These I typically keep in-stock and ready for shipment. These are the easiest to acquire, and the small storage size still allows plenty of apps installed with room to spare.

o   If you would like a larger storage size (32gb), this can be requested prior to placing your order for a higher price. Larger storage sizes require 1month configuration time prior to shipment.

·         Either colour variant (Black / White)

o   If you have a preference, please let me know and I will see if we have it in stock.

·         iPhone is dual-booted with iOS 6. The boot process from shutdown is seamless, simply power on the device, wait for iOS 8 to load, and it will automatically reboot to iOS 6. Using the “Guides for Further Modification” above, you can fully recover from a corrupted OS and restore your iPhone to iOS 6, which would be otherwise impossible!

·         Included in package: iPhone (no cord, USB brick, headphones, etc.)

PLEASE DM me with any questions! These phones are largely built to order & highly customizable, if you have a specific app or tweak you want on yours please let me know. I want more of these in the world & I’d love to see more people experiencing the past through these phones.

IMPORTANT NOTES: Keep in mind you are buying a phone released in 2011 that has been used prior to my acquiring it, with possibly old batteries & other components. Phones are 100% fully functional but may have scuffs and other minor chassis damage. None of this affects the usability of the phone. With Apple shutting down the App Store on iOS 6, it is now impossible to download apps and games whether free or for sale on these older devices. It is assumed you have previously purchased a copy of any and all paid apps installed on this device prior to use.
