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?

Whatever you do with them, don’t update them to the latest iOS version. They’re much more valuable with an older one.

Only if you’re not using them as a daily driver, I guess.

Hello. Can you tell me why this is?

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.

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
