Ask HN: What fun things to do with an iPhone 11?

I have an old iPhone 11 Pro laying around that is no longer used for anything.

What fun things could be done with it to give it a second life ?

    Slap in a pair of external microphones into the lightning port and you have a pretty good field recorder with a touch screen and rechargeable battery.

    Or load AUM, plug it into an audio interface with a camera connector and you have a digital mixer.

    Or load Garage Band and you have a Daw in your pocket.

    iOS is to iPhones what Windows is to PCs

    Put another OS on it and use it for many more years

    (though I don't know the status of jailbreak or alternate OSes for iPhones as my last one was a 3G and Cydia was a thriving ecosystem then)
