help iPhone 5 FAQ
What changed with the iPhone 5 compared with the iPhone 4S?
The iPhone 5 introduced a taller 4-inch display, a lighter aluminum body, LTE support, and Apple's Lightning connector. It launched in 2012 as the first iPhone to move away from the older 30-pin dock connector.
Does the iPhone 5 still use a headphone jack?
Yes, the iPhone 5 has a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Apple did not remove the headphone jack from the iPhone line until the iPhone 7 generation in 2016.
What iOS version did the iPhone 5 launch with?
The iPhone 5 launched with iOS 6. Its final major iOS support ended years later, which is why many modern apps no longer support it properly.
Why was the Lightning port controversial on the iPhone 5?
The Lightning connector replaced the 30-pin dock connector used by earlier iPhones, iPods, and iPads. That made the phone thinner and the cable reversible, but it also meant many older docks and accessories needed adapters.
