iPhone 5s Gets New Software Update 13 Years After Launch

Updates a root certificate so you can keep paying for their services.

Yeah, ´cause you pay for i.e. FaceTime, right?

They stopped signing the update due to a bug, they will end up releasing it again at a later date once it's patched.

I downloaded it to my OGSE. Should I be concerned?

From the sounds of it, the issue is limited to users in Australia I believe it was not being able to connect to the network. If you're not in Australia I wouldn't think it's an issue.

But it would still move!😃 Indeed, a piece of junk. But most people still choose those (and then however invest even more “iPhone money” to keep those rust buckets moving)

That is absolutely nowhere near what actually happens here. And once again, I Live in a 3rd world country. Quit your delusion.

Still runs better than any version of iOS 26

And this update fixes that!

Now imagine next year if Apple updated the first 2007 iPhone with iOS 3: "To mark our special 20th iPhone anniversary, we updated the first iPhone with iOS 3 performance and security improvements!"

Because there's enough devices out there running iOS 12, 15, etc to keep their services running on them. I still use both a 5s and a og iPad Air, both on iOS 12, for old games and downloaded Apple Music/podcasts. The headphone jack is pretty handy, especially coupled with the size. These devices still have life. A limited life, but a purposeful one

That's kind of remarkable. What could battery life be like after all these years?

It is excellent!

The 15.8.6 says my 6s has been at 1% for the last 48 hours and it is still going strong.
I am even tapping in to that hidden reserve of negative charge the new os found...

I still have my 5s, along with a few others.

So we're now waxing poetic about iOS 7? I mean, last i knew no one is allowed to like iOS7 because it introduced the flat art design, over glossy buttons, pinstripes background, and skeuomorphism. I think, we were still supposed to claim it was peak "planned obsolescence" too. Wasn't it the one that would deliberately slow down the phone over battery health concerns? So that everyone would be like "i need a new phone".

Remember, anything besides the current is obviously better by default, regardless of how bad the old was or good the new is lol.

iOS 12.5.8? I'm only seeing version 10.3.4 on iTunes

yeah, I kinda forgot my first iphone was a iphone 5 not a 5s
