Soon after my old iPhone 5S kaput, I contemplated using my current phone as my Spotify music center. The house feels too quiet without music. But having my phone blast music all day may hurt the battery’s health, and my phone is for communication purposes rather than music. So what do I do? How do I resolve this loud quietness?
It occurred to me then that I had another old phone lying around. Would you believe it when I say it’s the iPhone 5C, another dinosaur model? The phone used to be M2’s before she had further upgrades, and I just kept it alive all these years. It still works and is now handy in my current predicament.
I was excited because the iPhone 5C–despite it being such an oldie– would resolve the music void. The setup was with minimal synching because of space issues. After all, the phone has only 8 GB capacity! It’s so minuscule compared to the storage sizes of the newer phone models.
With Spotify added, albeit an older version, the iPhone 5C is now my music center! The thing to ensure the phone does not meet an early death is not to keep it connected while the music is playing. Yay, I’m a happy camper because I found the perfect solution.
