A place for Apple news, rumors, and discussions.
And it's perfect!
I love this. Serious question(s). Does it still have cell service? Im curious how the music will play and if you need to download the songs. And if the tracking and fitness has to wait and update when you get to WiFi.
No cell service. No SIM card. Strava tracks the runs via GPS and saves them, but then uploads them to the Strava profile upon connecting to the WiFi. I don't use Apple music subscription, I have my own music that I sync via iTunes...
Isn’t it a bad idea to keep old iPhones with the risk of their batteries expanding and exploding over time?
Only if they are left in abnormal conditions (discharged for long time, plugged in all the time, hot/cold environments)
I’m gonna do that my 7 as well! Thanks for your post!
So you put some widgets on your home screen and thats the big deal?
That's exactly what he's done lol.
Bro jailbreak this dude and turn it into a beast
I dont get why this is being downvoted
Can you elaborate?
Beautiful phone
How do you milk sheep? Bring out a new iPhone and charge $1000 for it.
Miss that form factor
This looks beautiful
I am doing the same but with Gen1 SE! It also has a 3.5mm so it is up for me. The only down is the battery but still, it gives me a solid 2 hours of screen on and around 4-5hrs standby
Perfect for running
now thats what i call a iPhone Lite
That’s how you use an iphone 7 in 2023 !!!
I'm just about to buy a 7 plus for 100€
What’s the app name? I searched tracker on app store and couldnt find it
It's Strava and it works without internet access / SIM card!
I use an iphone 7 daily. I don’t have money for new one. I like it :)
Just replace the battery and it wouldn't be that bad
I've been using it as my main phone until I've got the 15. I've replaced the battery and it rocks!
i also have an iPhone 7 how to customise it ?
One of my biggest gripes with using old iPhones and iPads as offline media devices is that Apple is extremely stingy with storage space so most likely these old phones only have 16/32GB of storage, making them a pain in the ass to curate a media library in them.
If only they had expandable storage. But they don't even support mounting SD cards directly from an external adapter, you have to import the media in bulk, making them useless.
If you're like me and use old phones at home while on Wi-Fi, you could have a media app that streams content from a NAS on your LAN.
Good idea
Love it!! I may do the same with my old iPhone 7 too. Great idea 💡
Maaan that sharp screen and case design made me wanna switch back from my 13pro! Hold me back people don’t let me do that silly move🤯
Been using my 8 Plus for this reason.
That's strong.
Do this with my little old 5c.
Smaller the better.
That's awesome, and that's what I'm gonna do with my old iPhone 6s PS: I switched to Android recently
It is awesome (did the same thing with a 6s) no need for being constantly interrupted by text messages or emails or other distractions while running/exercising
lol those features were built in
I’ll do this to my 13 mini…so perfect
Amazing simplicity! So when you get a text message, it doesn’t show here because you deleted the message app right?
Ayo share that wallpaper link
Tempo user i see
I remember when we wanted to turn the iPod into an iPhone.
Why not just use your normal phone though?? It does all that
If they get robbed theyd much rather their old iphone 7 be stolen than a brand new more valuable/expensive phone.
15 is too big and I don't like running with it on my arm. I wish I still had my old iPod Nano, not sure why Apple stopped producing those.
Introducing the iPod+!
Why would you use that ? Two devices always is a big headache. Personally i hate it.
An ipod without jack port
