i cant seem to find this anywhere online and the info for this.

use this as an ipod i only have to charge it every 3 days. my case n phone are in great condition! i miss the smart battery cases i have tons

Got these two items separately as i got a little more interested into Apple prototype products etc but have interest in some other things so i wouldnt mind parting ways

Possible prototype, invalid IMEI and Serial and the serial number doesn't really make sense. Strange unit. Sold for $30 🤣

Have an iPhone 2G somewhere as well

These two devices was what I saw when I was 12. It's crazy that I have these now.

iPhone 6 (128GB, Gold) - iOS 8.0
iPad Air 2 (16GB, Space Grey) iOS 8.1.3

I’m honestly just so shocked at how the battery in the iPhone 2g and the iPod 2nd gen charger right up and hold perfectly. The iPod is in perfect condition to be modded. Part of a bundle of 20+ iOS devices for 140$ and these 3 made it worth it to me already 😎👍

I found my old iPhone 5s a few days ago and, for some reason, decided to put my SIM card in it. I honestly thought I’d use it for a few hours and then give up. It’s tiny. Like, really tiny. After using modern iPhones, the screen feels almost ridiculous. And it’s slow. You definitely notice it. But… I actually kind of like it. I can call people, send messages, listen to music, take photos and browse the web. For basic stuff, it still works. The annoying part is the apps. A lot of them won’t install because the phone is stuck on iOS 12. Some websites are also pretty painful to use. But there’s something nice about having a phone that doesn’t constantly throw things at you. No huge screen. No giant camera bump. No 50 notifications fighting for your attention. I even caught myself walking around with it without checking it every five minutes. Would I use it as my main phone forever? Absolutely not. I need modern apps, banking, maps, work stuff, etc. But for a few days? Honestly, it was refreshing. Now I’m looking at my current iPhone and thinking… maybe phones didn’t actually need to become this big and complicated. Or maybe I’m just getting nostalgic. Anyone else still using an old iPhone in 2026?

I visited https://applemuseum.nl in the Netherlands and had a blast.

They have a good collection of computers and tell the Apple story really well.

If you are ever here, you should check it out.

So nice design and composition.

…with varying amounts of data and apps. Interestingly, the iOS 11 one was last used in early 2025.

Specification and some facts:
iOS 8.4.1, Gold, USA, 16GB. Using Kometa downgrade was finally able to fill this spot in collection🤘🏻
iOS 9.1, Gold, USA, 16GB, AppleCare model number. This phone has severe logic board damage, no buttons, WiFi, or audio
iOS 10.2.1, Silver, USA, 16GB. I used this phone until upgrading to 8 Plus
iOS 11.4, Gold, 16GB. This one has an astonishing 98% health on its original battery
iOS 12.5.8, Silver, USA, 64GB. Boring one

The funny thing is, iOS 10.3.3 Beta 2 didn’t really add anything significant. However, it’s very uncommon to find an older iPhone still preserved on a beta version of iOS like this. Unfortunately, I don’t have any information regarding why this iPhone was never updated. I just purchased it in a bulk lot of devices and it just so happened to be running this.

Empece esta colección en el 2024 y ya tengo muchas cosas. Supongo que esta bien la colección no?
