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.
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.
I do not cook. Cooking makes me super anxious. But I can definitely see that being a good idea for people who do.
TV for action figures?
That’s awesome!
Recycle it, if you can’t figure out what to do with it.
Fb marketplace is a pretty good place to sell phones, probably can’t get full price but half is not unreasonable, definitely more than $80
I walked into an iPhone repair shop when my old iPhone’s battery went puffy and they offered me $100 cash. That made me very happy!
I ended up donating mine to a domestic violence shelter. I think that’s worth more than me getting $80.
