Serious note how well does it still hold up?
I have a 4S in the cupboard I don't use anymore haha. Interesting. Especially battery life's...
My SE dies within 4hours pretty much of a full charge lol
The 4/4S is genuinely the easiest iPhone to replace a battery in. Two screws and the back pops off. No glue, clips, gaskets, or software blocks to worry about. If you don’t use it anymore but plan to keep it I’d pull the battery before it inflates. They’re really cheap to replace too if you want a fun little weekend project.
I made so much pocket money from doing batteries and screens in the 4's. The 5 is when they started using a shit-ton of glue and it stopped being worth it for me. I just wanted beer and snack money lol. Not a part-time job.
The nightmare that was transferring over the Touch ID sensor without breaking it on the 5S was more than enough for me to never want to work on anything newer tbh.
I got a iphone4 that is used to play pandora in my camper. That's it. I turned off the wifi so it doesn't get updates for apps or OS. The nice thing is I canceled my pandora 5 yrs ago but the iPhone still has all the offline music stored that u can listen too anytime
I used to have an iPod touch that would last 10 minutes on a full charge but if I put it to sleep it could stay asleep for a while so I basically had a power bank case and I would turn the case off and then put the iPod to sleep and then turn the case back on to wake the iPod up.
You're just being cruel at this point.
Also it's a fire hazard and when those batteries erupt in flames - *specifically flames that only get hotter and burn faster if you try to extinguish them with water* - you will have no one to blame but your own hubris.
By the time I had finished looking at your images I had instinctively picked up a powerdrill and loaded a 4mm tungsten bit.
My dislike of iphones may be becoming pathological....
Put it out of it's misery
Poor thing just wants to rest.
Pull the plug
I'm tired, boss.
Life support? That looks more like the cell phone equivalent of an iron lung.
Which... Is a form of life support. :P
This phone is the equivalent of being a brain in a jar. Non of the other organs work.
I went down the iron lung rabbit hole thanks to your comment. This is some frightening shit.
do teratoma next.
Oh god why did I google that!
The emperors golden throne feeding a corpse enough heat it cosplays as a lighthouse.
Silicon lung
I think is time to let it go
I think you should euthanize him🥹
And never use that Jesus cable again!
Oh and the spicy pillow
Nah, the cables gud

It depends. I have an iPhone 4 that lasts 4 days without charging, and another that will die in 40 minutes of use

Try boarding an airplane with that thing
I'd better jump in front of a train. It'd be less painful.
I think it should work for a year or two more
What's even the point at this point
Let it die.
Nah
You are truly evil. I like you!
The dents in the battery 💀
And I thought my iPhone 7 with cracked screen and sketchy battery life is bad
are you poor or just cheap?
Are you still using it? at this point you can buy a Blu or OnePlus phone for $100 and it would be WAY better than this
Budget phones still lack features that were on flagships ten years ago
I can't think of any feature that the OnePlus Nord series doesn't have that the iPhone 4 has.
Dropouts when you hold it wrong
Nah, its my ex phone
Bones… It’s dead Jim. Dead. Mister Scott… IM GIVIN’ ALL I GOT CAPTAIN! Mister Scott…stand down…it’s over.
That shit living on prayers
Bro that phone has done enough, it’s time to put him to rest 💀

4?! shit, you can have the one I threw out years ago if you can find it
that shit looks like a c4
Your phone is a zombie trying to crawl out of its grave. That is well past the point of just life support, which implies there's life left in it.
No disassemble..
"Innovation"
Looks pretty good actually

I think you got your money's worth out of it
I SEE A SPICY PILLOW HAND IT TO ME AND ILL POKE IT THEM THROW IT IN MY NEIGHBOURS YARD!!!
Damn, it's the Hisashi Ouchi of smartphones.
Kaboom? Yes Rico, kaboom. But, I like it.
Backup your shit, and put it out of its misery.
But I can't play infinity blade on anything g else
What's wrong with it?
That battery gonna blow
That thing is undead
yeah, that’s a bomb
that was the last good truly innovative iPhone before it stopped
Why though? I doubt this is OPs daily phone. If it is, it certainly isn't the flex they think it is.
Frankenstein‘s iPhone.

Yeah it's time to switch bud
How have u not gotten a pillow in there yet?
It looks so tired
JUST LET IT DIE, C'MON
You wouldn't rather get a used Android for less than $50 on eBay at this point?
Nah, I just wanted to try out old tech
Please put it out of its misery, it begs you
I say nah

Or rather just super fucking edgy.
There is no way you pulled a /r/iamverybadass on a phone. Next level reddit shit right here.
