What can you do with old iPhones? - eviltoast

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?

    Why didn’t you trade in/sell them. That’s thousands of dollars down the drain.

    Call and text. Take photos and videos, use “clownshoe-ish” Snapchat filters, and stream your favorite tv shows & movies.

    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…

    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.
