What You Can Do With Your Old iPhone

September 14, 2018

Apple unveiled the iPhone XS, XS Max and XR, sporting improved camera performance and tweaks to the design. If you’re about to ditch your older device, just know that there’s more that you can do besides sell your cell.

More often than not, you want that shiny new toy. No judgment here. But before you chuck away your existing smartphone, hear us out on what else it can do when it isn’t your regular go-to. For starters, it can:

Sometimes we just can’t help but check our emails even when on vacay, so separating work and play into two phones will help exercise some control over “me-time”. Enjoy your time away without the distractions of work and if you really must – only scroll through the work stuff for 30 minutes or so.

There are a bunch of apps out there that play relaxing melodies to help babies feel at ease and fall asleep.

This could range from the sound of the rain to the sound of the ocean. With a second device, you can leave one in your little one’s room, while you have your everyday phone by you. Now to see if everyone can slip into a peaceful slumber.
