I have lots of old iPhones ( SE 2016, 6, 6s, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus) and they're all rotting in my drawer. Can they be used for something fun?

Keep them as backups. Then sell them in 50 years when they’re antique.

Give them away to little kids

I use mine for security cameras, but never use it for longer than 4 hours - depends on the model I guess.

Repurpose them for specific tasks. As an SE3 owner, I wouldn't mind that 7+ to use as a wifi streaming device.

If you want to do something fun with it jailbreak it.

I'm here from the other side (username checks out), but I have a bunch of Pixels, and usually use all of them. My 8 pro is my daily driver, old 7 pro is my secondary for now (I treat it like you would a tablet I guess) and will eventually be passed to a family member. My 6 pro and 5 are in use by family members, and they'll be upgraded once they stop getting security updates. My 3 is used for playing around with LineageOS. My original pixel is a GPhotos backup slave. My original original pixel's motherboard died, and I miss the Nexus 6p I traded in for it...

I use one for porn consumption. The other I use as a travel phone since the 15s don’t have SIM cards anymore.

Sell one to me?

[–] Thisiscliff@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Should of sold them when they were worth something

[–] jailbreakjock@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Can I buy the 7 plus off of you? But I would say use them as an iPod or security camera monitors

I use my X as navigator in the car.

I have iPhone 6 thats connected to a BT speaker for my noise machine at night

You can put other SIM cards in them, keep them connected to power and set them to share calls / texts with your main iPhone. This lets you have 3+ numbers on your main iPhone.

They’re only worth selling if it’s in perfect condition. Otherwise I suppose you can donate them

[–] KingPanda7799@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Jail break em

[–] maga_extremist@alien.top 0 points 1 year ago

I keep mine around as a backup. So easy to flash your last backup onto it and use it between phones, if you lose or break your current one.

I use my 4s for verification codes whenever I get a new phone

[–] fallingleaf271@alien.top 0 points 1 year ago

You could try jailbreaking them and play around with customization and theming.

Use it when your phone is stolen.

You could sell them for some extra cash. You can use them for music or as a back up phone

I used a 3GS when I had a 5s as a landline phone (voip)

[–] Marik_Hadare@alien.top 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sell? Save one as a backup phone?
