Apple has posted a new support document warning users that the iPhone 5 will stop functioning properly unless it's upgraded to iOS 10.3.4 by November 3rd.

Starting just before 12:00 a.m. UTC on November 3, 2019,* iPhone 5 will require an iOS update to maintain accurate GPS location and to continue to use functions that rely on correct date and time including App Store, iCloud, email, and web browsing. This is due to the GPS time rollover issue that began affecting GPS-enabled products from other manufacturers on April 6, 2019. Affected Apple devices are not impacted until just before 12:00 a.m. UTC on November 3, 2019.

If you don't update your iPhone 5 by November 3, 2019, you will be required to backup and restore to iOS 10.3.4 using a Mac or PC because OTA software updates and iCloud backup will no longer function.

To make sure you're on the latest firmware version simply go to Settings > General > Software Update.

I REALLY hope somebody makes a patch for this via Cydia. iOS 6 is still usable and reliable, much moreso than the newer shit. This is a big problem to me.

Devices below 12.4 can be jailbroken regardless. Who cares 🤣 it’s an old device anyways.

I’m sorry but an iPhone 5 can’t go further then 10.3.4 and this update was released recently. There is no jb for that. On your second point: any old device in your house can serve a purpose.
