This was my first iPhone, which I bought in March 2018, I used it up till Nov 2019 and then upgraded to an iPhone 7

after me this iPhone kept switching hands from being my primary device to being my dad's primary device and then being my sister's secondary phone and then sometimes I would take it as a secondary device to shoot video with it (my profile banner was taken from this phone)

by May 2024 nobody was using it anymore

since then, it's just sitting at home collecting dust

Today I finally removed my sister's Apple ID and did a clean format so that I can install my stuff and primarily only Spotify and YouTube, I'm thinking to take it with me when I'm going for dog walks every day since the 3.5 MM Ear pods are still with me (I bought it last year)

I'm really happy to use something like an iPod, just to play music

Also
This Phone got 4 battery replacements
1. Dec 2019 (when I handed it over to my dad with 78%)
2. April 2023 (general battery cycle issue)
3. May 2024 (this time the battery wasn't dead, but someone dropped it at home causing the battery to swell inside the phone ,hence i decided to replace it once again considering all the other components work well)
