phone gimmick

i love old phones a lot. i don't know why, but i do. i used to use an iphone 4 daily when i didn't have a real phone, fun fact. it plays super stickman golf 2 and is (used to be) able to access gmail, so it worked for what i needed. then i got an actual phone and forgot about it for a while, until i found it again a few days ago and got super into downgrading and stuff. it's running ios 6 currently, dual-booted because we're a verizon family and the verizon iphone 4 sucks for downgrading. i have an ipod touch 4 but the battery is completely flat, and i also have a touch 6 but i can't even use unc0ver and the battery is almost flat so it's not much better. i got an iphone 5 for cheap and i'm trying to bypass the passcode lock to keep it on native ios 8, and i have a 5s coming in the mail today or tomorrow on ios 9 that i wanna use as my daily for a while just for fun. ios 9 has discord, and you can probably use the same methods as on ios 6 for youtube and twitter, so i'm pretty much set. it's at&t so i couldn't get cell on it if i wanted to, but that would cost money anyway, and i don't want to spend any more money. using an iphone 4 in public is pretty much just a party trick, but this could be the Real Deal. i just hope the seller didn't update the phone without posting a picture. i could downgrade it to ios 10 anyway but that'd be significantly less cool.
