There's an iPhone 6 I've come into possession of because someone I know was throwing theirs away, so I asked could I have it to play with. I notice you conspicuously said 5, 7 and 8. What software do you run on them to keep them going? As far as I understand it, there's no alternative app stores or ROMs to flash on iPhones. And is there anything about the 6 I should know?
Great comment anyway, I'm in full agreement - making devices last longer is essential, empowering and fun.
- agentultra 2y agoYou can find jailbreaks for that generation of iPhone that are fairly reliable. The problem with jailbreaks is that you’re in untrusted code territory. Treat them accordingly. Project Sandcastle may have better support for 6 these days but you’d have to check. Last I checked the 7’s had the best support. Good luck and have fun!
- sourcepluck 2y agoBrilliant, I had seen Project Sandcastle but it hadn't popped into my head since acquiring this little old machine. I'll absolutely look into if it can be done on the 6, cheers!
