I have 2 older iPhones. A 7 Plus and a 9. Idk what to do with them. Is it possible to self host on iPhones?

Edit. Not iPhone 9, iPhone 8.

        The phones are probably still working. New battery and touchscreen and someone will be happy with it.

        To the normal user it is e waste because it’s an old apple phone. It doesn’t matter how much you get for it. Just get rid of it so that someone can use it or strip it apart for its parts. And most importantly, to get it out of your sight.

        There are loads of cheap Chinese mini-PCs based on Intel N95, N100 or N150, and they’d make the job easier than a phone or a Raspberry Pi. Spend a little more and you can get some pretty cheap AMD Ryzen-based models with much more capable CPUs.

          I don’t think that’s the point. It can be fun to use something like an old Phone to use it as a homeserver or the like. It’s a pet project and not about efficiency or being really useful.
