User opinions and reviews

If you have the app (e.g. Netflix) installed before it requires iOS 17.0 or later then you can keep using the older version. I had Netflix installed before so I can continue to use it but I don’t really use it anyway.

It’s fine to use in 2024 especially if you’re just doing basic stuff. It’s currently my (and my mum’s) only phone and we both agree that it’s a nice full-screen phone. The only potential problem I see is that over time, more and more apps will start ...

The iOS is 16 but you still can’t download an important app called Netflix
