    Isn’t it a bad idea to keep old iPhones with the risk of their batteries expanding and exploding over time?

      Only if they are left in abnormal conditions (discharged for long time, plugged in all the time, hot/cold environments)

      It is awesome (did the same thing with a 6s) no need for being constantly interrupted by text messages or emails or other distractions while running/exercising

    I love this. Serious question(s). Does it still have cell service? Im curious how the music will play and if you need to download the songs. And if the tracking and fitness has to wait and update when you get to WiFi.

      No cell service. No SIM card. Strava tracks the runs via GPS and saves them, but then uploads them to the Strava profile upon connecting to the WiFi. I don’t use Apple music subscription, I have my own music that I sync via iTunes…

    Amazing simplicity! So when you get a text message, it doesn’t show here because you deleted the message app right?

      15 is too big and I don’t like running with it on my arm. I wish I still had my old iPod Nano, not sure why Apple stopped producing those.

      If they get robbed theyd much rather their old iphone 7 be stolen than a brand new more valuable/expensive phone.

      Unfortunately I no longer have a real iPod (I used to have a Nano back in 2007.) and my current iPhone 15 is kind of too big / annoying when attached to my arm while running, so this was the best solution I could come up with.

      Yes, especially because it’s still a great phone IMO. Sure the camera is not even close to the newer iPhones, but overall, the phone works great considering how old it is.
