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.
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.
You could sell them for some extra cash. You can use them for music or as a back up phone
I use my 4s for verification codes whenever I get a new phone
Sell? Save one as a backup phone?
Unfortunately they are outside the range of getting iOS updates, so they don’t sell well anymore. They should have sold them a while ago.
Whatever you do with them, don’t update them to the latest iOS version. They’re much more valuable with an older one.
Hello. Can you tell me why this is?
If it’s a really old OS, people can be willing to pay more simply because they’re rare. Eg an OG iPhone with iPhoneOS 1 would be worth a ton of money now.
not applicable because originals didnt have shsh blobs so you could freely downgrade to any version. 3g and onwards are rare on original though
Jailbreak capabilities usually
Of course. Can’t think why that didn’t occur to me. I’ve not JB’d a phone in so long, I think the last one I did was the 5 or maybe the first SE. I think I lost interest when untethered breaks stopped and it became a little more complicated.
Only if you’re not using them as a daily driver, I guess.
Hello security holes
I use my 6S to connect and play music on my car music system with aux since it doesn’t have Bluetooth or apple CarPlay.
I still use the SE as my whole phone sometimes. It’s just such a good design.
The SE 2016 is the most able as a back up.
Maybe use the others as a separate media device, like as an iPod.
I use my X as navigator in the car.
Should of sold them when they were worth something
Sell one to me?
Can I buy the 7 plus off of you? But I would say use them as an iPod or security camera monitors
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.
