iPhone 5 or earlier iPhone 3GS vs iPhone 16 Pro Max

Just a bit of fun but found my old iPhone 3GS the other day and it still powered up using the cable. Certainly a huge difference between the 2 phones over the last 15 years.

WiFi doesn’t work, it’s just greyed out so couldn’t connect it to the web. It’s running iOS 6.1.6

Apple really should get themselves together and bring back real, mature UI. iOS used to be so smooth and classy. In the video you should compare between apps like messages, photos, etc., so people could see how much easier on eyes was Apple interface back then.

Frustrating as I can’t get it to connect to the web so not much I can do with it. It’s like the radio is broken.

Huh. I recall jailbreaking from 2011 to 2020 just to make the 'Apple interface' easier on MY eyes. It's only in the last couple of years that Apple has gotten around to doing things the way I'd been doing them through jailbreaking for nine years.

🤷‍♂️

My 3GS is also on 6.1.6, but the WiFi works and is the only justification for continuing to use the device (from time to time). Is it just your WiFi that is broken or perhaps your home router is using modern protocols your 3GS can't connect with?

No need for internet. You can just show the interface. Load something to the phone via iTunes and make a video. I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 6 on it and iPhone 16 Pro but I'm too lazy to make a video.
