I just upgraded to a 13, but the trade-in was only $80 and I thought I might find something better to do with it than just get $80 back, so I’d love suggestions. Remember, it doesn’t have cellular access anymore, just wifi. Does anyone have any good ideas for what to do with it? A friend suggested a dedicated GPS for my car, which I would obviously have to upgrade on occasion, but I can do that from my garage. Slightly annoying, but possibly useful. Any other ideas?
Yes, I know, throw it out or use it as a coaster. Ha ha. Very droll.
Use it as a webcam? Probably way better than most webcams on the market.
I love the idea, but the only time I ever use a webcam is for zoom meetings for work and I’m sitting in front of my desktop for those. I don’t really care about the quality for that. In fact, I don’t care if I look like a ball of fuzz. But if I ever do care, it’s good to have something around for that.
I use my old iphone xs as an iPod/music hub in the living room
Dash cam
Use it as a security camera. Plenty of apps that will do that, all it needs is a wifi connection and power.
Do you cook? I use my old iPhone to view recipes in the kitchen. It’s attached to the backsplash with Velcro. It is always plugged into a charger, but it is connected to a smart switch (already had set my house up). Set a shortcut to turn on the charger when the battery is 20% and to turn off the charger when it is 80% so as to get the best battery life.
