Upgrading? Turn that brick iPhone or iPod Touch into a useful tool as iPhone 4 arrives. Here are nine mini-projects to help you do that.
9 Ways To Spruce Up That Old iPhone
Plan on upgrading to the latest iPhone 4? Great, but what do you do with your old iPhone or iPod Touch that now looks old, useless, and outdated? You could sell it and earn back some of what you originally spent or give it to a friend or family member. But, instead of getting rid of the old to make way for the new, why not put your old iPhone or iPod Touch to better use?
The iPhone and iPod Touch, including the oldest models, are still both very capable devices. Their capacitive, multi-touch screens are still some of the best and most accurate in the industry. Their shapes are thin and lightweight and the iPod Touch in particular is almost astonishingly flat. The user interface is simple and intuitive, and chances are you’re pretty familiar with how it works. It would be a shame to simply toss out a perfectly functional device when there are so many cool things anyone can do with it.
We’ve compiled a list of nine great things you can do with that old hardware to put it to good use. In the following pages, we cover our favorite uses for these older devices. If you think of something we missed, let us know in the comments section below.
