At this time, technical support for iPhone 5c will completely end.

5. iPhone SE Photo: CNET Maybe not everyone agrees with this point of view, but many technology sites consider the iPhone SE to be a step backward in design compared to other smartphones when equipped with a screen that is too small even though it was released. for those who like this screen size. iPhone SE has some hardware upgrades while its design is not much different from the iPhone 5s. The fact that the price of the device is not low makes the iPhone SE not attract too much attention. In Vietnam, iPhone SE is also one of Apple’s most silent smartphones. It didn’t even get as much attention as the iPhone 5c. 4. iPhone 6 Plus Photo: CNET The iPhone 6 Plus launched in 2014 is one of the most surprising phones in Apple’s history when it comes with a 5.5-inch screen and an ultra-thin body. Perhaps for this reason, the iPhone 6 Plus is prone to… so curved. Many users have said that their iPhone 6 Plus is too easily bent, especially in the volume up and down buttons area even under very normal conditions of use. The case was so serious that Apple itself had to speak up, but at that time “apple defect” asserted that cases of bent iPhone 6 Plus were “very rare”. I don’t know what the truth is, but in the following shipments, Apple is said to have quietly reinforced the iPhone 6 Plus chassis in its weak points. 3. iPhone 3G Photo: CNET Looking back at the first iPhone at the present time, you probably also feel this device… how bad it is. No App Store? No TouchID? Even only 2G connection is supported. All that the original iPhone offered, though, was the starting point of a revolution. However, the iPhone 3G is on this list because unlike the breakthroughs available on the first generation, the iPhone 3G is a step backward because of the trade-off between 3G network and boring body made of plastic. This machine is also said to be prone to cracking and slow performance. 2. iPhone 4 Photo: CNET While the iPhone 4 is loved for its completely new and refined design, there are a few downsides that make it one of the worst iPhones ever. Who could forget the antenna problem on this iPhone? Accordingly, when the user holds the iPhone 4 to listen to the phone, it is highly likely that the user’s hand will cover the antenna located along the side of the device, making the call quality greatly affected. When users complain, Apple does not even admit the fault, but also blames the user for holding the device in the wrong way. Apple finally had to give in by giving iPhone 4 users border cases that could fix the above situation and silently improve the signal quality with software afterwards. 1. iPhone 5c Photo: CNET The idea of ​​an iPhone 5c is not bad: young, dynamic and affordable to reach a wider user base. However, the iPhone 5c is not as competitively priced as expected. Besides, the plastic body of this machine is also considered less luxurious. Some highlights like TouchID are not even present on the iPhone 5c, making this device at the top of the list of the worst iPhones in Apple’s history.
