Price last checked: 3 Jan 2020. Confirm current price before buying.
This is an old-generation Apple handset, running the A6 chipset with a dual-core Swift processor and 1 GB RAM. It ships with iOS 6 out of the box, though it can be updated as far as iOS 8.4. The 4.0-inch IPS display packs 326 ppi, which was sharp for its time, and the 32 GB storage here is fixed with no card slot for expansion.
Camera-wise you get an 8 MP rear shooter with LED flash and 1080p video capture, plus a basic 1.2 MP front camera for FaceTime calls. Battery is a small 1440 mAh cell, so daily use expectations should be modest by today's standards.
iPhone 5 (32GB) price in Malaysia starts from RM948. Given its age, this is one for collectors or anyone specifically after a compact, older iOS device rather than a daily driver.
