A working old iPhone can still be repurposed as a music player, alarm clock, navigation device, eReader, or gaming device.
With iOS 17 features like StandBy mode, plus Siri and smart home integration, it can also serve as a bedside display or home controller.
It can even support content creation as a camera accessory or multicam companion.
When the iPhone finally stops working, the right move is to recycle it safely.
