In this video, I turned my $17 iPhone 5c into a dedicated offline music player. After replacing the battery, optimizing iOS 10.3.4, installing VOX Music Player, and syncing my music library, this colorful 4-inch iPhone became a surprisingly great budget alternative to an iPod.

I also share the complete setup, battery and audio experience, 3.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth, music file formats, and what it’s actually like using the iPhone 5c as a distraction-free music player in 2026.
