I HATE APPLE

I have an iPhone 5C in a drawer that I thought I might do something with. Like, turn it into an iPod, or use it as a backup burner or something. But it's stuck on iOS 10, won't show up on my Mac when I plug it in, and won't let me login to iCloud because iCloud requires at least iOS like 15 or something. I just want to use it as a dumb device, I don't even want any iCloud or phone functionality. Really lame! By the way i LOVE how small it feels in my hand. Almost miraculous.

My 4S plays the role of DJ Flan, a music repository in my car glovebox whose shuffle play picks are sly and mercurial

> By the way i LOVE how small (the iPhone 5c) feels in my hand. Almost miraculous.

My current phone is an iPhone 12 mini that I bought refurbished several months back, which I bought because it's only slightly larger and heavier, yet is reasonably up to date and runs the latest version of iOS. The follow-up 13 mini was the last of the Apple small phones (same size but a bit heavier than a 12 mini). My ageing eyes don't care for the smallish screen though, and I'm having way more difficulty typing on the small keypad than on the larger phone it replaced - odd since I don't recall having that problem with the first-gen SE I had a few years back, which is the same size as a 5c or 5s. I'll probably go back to a larger phone when the 16 ships presumably this autumn.

Yeah the keyboard feels very cramped.
