Apple iPhone 5 Sprint A1429

Summary

Jailbroken iPhone 5, iOS 8.4.0, Sprint CDMA

Jailbroken iPhone 5

Black/slate color

iOS 8.4.0 (system settings say "8.4")

No known screen scratches. Some cosmetic scratches on device. Device is chipped in some spots. Some scratches and dents in original box. See photos.

Removed customizations with Semi-Restore For iOS 5.0-9.1. Device software is similar to a clean install. Cydia and the jailbreak are still on there.

You can run Semi-Restore For iOS 5.0-9.1 (computer program) to get the first-time setup screens ("Hello", wifi, Apple ID, etc.).

Used from March 2013 to September 2015. Sat on a shelf for years, was used for a week again, then sat around some more.

Locked to Sprint network for US / American phone service. Domestic unlock from Sprint for an iPhone 5 is said to be impossible. https://www.sprint.com/en/legal/unlocking-your-sprint-device?ECID=vanity:legal_unlocking

Probably locked internationally.

Performance is probably faster than it would be on iOS 9 or iOS 10.

A rare chance to use iOS 8!

on the bottom right of the back frame

on the bottom left of the back frame.

General chipping/scuffs on the back frame of the device. For example, near the Apple logo (see photos).
