The music player

The old iPhone in the drawer, reborn: your whole library, no store, no browser, no accounts that matter.

a dedicated player with your library

Who it fits

  • Anyone with an old iPhone in a drawer and a music library it could carry
  • Runners and gym-goers who want music without the phone that comes with it
  • Kids getting a first device: a real music player is the community's recommended starting point, a device to be proud of with nothing to supervise

What stays

Music, Podcasts, Books, and the camera if you like. Spotify instead of Apple Music works the same way.

What goes

Everything else, including the store and the browser. There is nothing on this device to manage, moderate or worry about.

Worth knowing

  • Load the library before removing the store; plan that order once
  • A refurbished iPhone SE is the community's budget pick if the drawer is empty
  • The bedside variant is the same build: alarm, music, nothing that glows with news

Other shapes: the focus phone · the kid phone · the grandma phone
