Is iPhone 5s still a good phone?

The iPhone 5s was a great phone in its time, but it’s quite outdated. Apple has stopped providing software updates for the iPhone 5s, meaning it no longer receives security patches and many modern apps won’t be compatible due to the older operating system.

If you’re looking to use an iPhone 5s for basic tasks, like calls, text messages, or emails, it might still function. But for more demanding tasks, a newer iPhone model would be much better.

As for regaining access to a hacked Apple account:

1. Password Change: The first step you should take is to change your Apple ID password. This can be done by going to iforgot.apple.com. Enter your Apple ID and follow the on-screen instructions.

2. Two-Factor Authentication: If you haven’t already, enable Two-Factor Authentication for your Apple ID to add an extra layer of security.

3. Contact Apple Support: If you’re unable to regain access or if you suspect that your account has been compromised, contact Apple Support directly.

These steps should help you regain control of your Apple ID account. Remember, your Apple ID is crucial for accessing all Apple services, so it’s important to keep it secure.

Hello LadyAce227!

It is very, very unlikely that your iPhone was hacked. Which account do you need help accessing? Have you forgotten your Apple ID Password?

Looking forward to your reply!

Securing your iPhone:

About a Hacked iPhone:

Unfortunately, there is no way to determine if it has been hacked, unless you know that it has been jailbroken. And, the only way for an iPhone to have hacked is if it has been jailbroken.

So, can't you no logged get in?

A. If so...

Reset your iPhone to Factory Settings:

Having tampered with this app, then reset you iPhone to factory settings, as if you were to sell it. Go here: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support. Perform as instructed there, including the backup creation and iCloud logout.

B. If not...

Set Up a Genius Bar Appointment:

Set up a Genius Bar Appointment (GBA) at your local Apple Store.

1. Siart here: Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple
2. Scroll down to the Bottom of the page
3. Click the Get hardware help button
4. Proceed from there as necessary.

What to Bring:

Important: Bring some notes, your original proof of purchase, and create a backup prior to bringing it in. Though not required, bring the power adapter along, in case theirs does not work.  See More here: Get your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch Ready for Service - Apple Support

The iPhone 5s a very old phone not capable of running most of today's apps.

What makes you think your phone is hacked?

Because, with Apple’s wonderful security, hacking an iPhone is extremely expensive and difficult.

So ask yourself: “Is someone willing to do that to me? Am I worth it?” For me, the answer no. For you, it may be different, hence your concern.

As TheLittles said, your iPhone can only be “low-level hacked,” if it has been jailbroken. What is jailbreaking, you ask? Find out more here: Unauthorized modification of iOS - Apple Support.
