What do you do/or did you do with you old iPhones?

[boogas8]

I handed down my old 6 plus and 6s plus to family members. I have kept my old 5s and use it for running, since you can't put Spotify music in the Apple Watch yet.

I usually just sell them. Either on Swappa or to friends/family.

Sell them to recoup the cost of my new ones

I don't have a backup or old iPhone. My last phone was the Note 7. I returned my 6S Plus to get my 7 Plus. I do the annual upgrade program with Verizon, so once 50% is paid off I trade it back in.

I lose sleep at night trying to sell electronics. I hate to do it, so I prefer the annual upgrade program. If the next iPhone doesn't blow my mind I'll keep the 7 Plus until it's paid off.

I sell them. I'm about to purchase an iPhone 7 and sell my 7 Plus after purchase.

 

[TripleOne]

I keep em

 

[felloffthetruck]

I sell them to get more crack (cases) and lose $$ at every turn. :crying:

Typically, I give it to one of my kids...

My boyfriend used my iPhone 4 for awhile as an iPod touch. He gave it back to me (with a small scratch on the screen, grr) when he got his first iPhone, a 5s, a couple of years ago.

I'm planning on giving my mom my iPhone 5s as a holiday gift. Even though it's a 2013 phone, it's definitely an upgrade from her Nokia Lumia 620, which doesn't even get LTE.

Sold my 6+ on eBay for €370 good price for its condition and 2 years of use IMO.

 

[TurboTiger]

trade in or sell them.
Good Luck

I pass them down to my kids... whenever I get a new one. Then I keep whichever one is no longer being used... because these boys are rough on their phones lol.

I still have my iPhone 5 with me. Never used 5s. I had 6 for 2 months only and then gave it to my little brother. 6s had battery issues so I exchanged it with new iPhone 7 plus. Currently I am using 7 plus. Kept 6s for 5 months only! Good history, no?

I think this meme perfectly sums up my situation haha

 

[HBLEY]

Hahaha! Good one mate

 

[robertk328]

I have kept them but they tend to get passed down. Wish I could sell them and make some $$$ back

 

[mumfoau]

Typically, i sell them to offset the cost of the new one.

 

[Ledsteplin]

I usually keep the most recent previous iPhone as a back up. The older ones I sell.

My wife and I usually hand down our older iPhones to our two daughters (ages 12 & 9). The youngest doesn't get actual cell service but can use it as a more functional iPod (FaceTime, iMessages, apps, music, etc). I also gave one to my mother so she could iMessage and FaceTime her grand kids.

I had a 5S 32GB, dropped it in the toilet, couldn't get it to work anymore. I sold it to a mobile shop owner for €65 who wanted to use the parts.

Bought a iPhone 6 128 after that, used it for about 5 weeks until I got my iPhone 7 Plus 256GB Gold on September 16th. I sold the iPhone 6 to for €380.

I hope to sell my current iPhone when I get a new one.
