What should I do with my old iPhone XR?

Flying Squid@lemmy.world to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 38 points –

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.

Yeah, I could have spent a couple of hundred bucks getting the battery replaced or I could just get a new phone for $10 a month. I know which one I can afford.

if you are paying a couple hundred on that you are being scammed

I don't know why you can't accept that I got a new phone and want to use the old one for something else, but I still did. Sorry, time can't be reversed.

i can?

Then I don't understand what your point is.

my point is that the old one can be fixed and used by someone, or sold still

And it is being used by someone because I gave it to the local domestic violence shelter. I'm guessing you have a problem with that too.

That's ok, I have no idea why we are arguing it
