    So now that I scored myself a beauty GoPro camera, I'm now in need of an iPhone.

    I don't really feel like using my business phone for viewing images and videos via the app. (To many chances if it going plop into the drink!) Therefore I need an iPhone...

    I'd prefer an iPhone 5 or 6, with at least 32 GB memory stick... But money talks. ;)

    Yes, I know about Kijiji... But I figured I'll try here first. I'd rather pay a member here than a stranger on kijiji.

    Anyone looking to unload an iPhone for a decent price?

    iPhone 5 is notorious for having a bad battery. If you're buying used then expect to drop another $50 on a new battery. Also should say if you're looking for an unlocked phone or one on a certain network.

    The network or being unlocked doesn't matter. I'll only be using it for the gopro app and wifi web serving. I'll never activate it.

    I believe you could use a 5th gen iPod as well. Cheaper than an iPhone. If you are not going to activate the iPhone you basically have an iPod.

    Can I serve the web via wifi with a 5th gen iPod? I've never had any of those gadgets.

    Yeah, the iPod touches are essentially an iPhone without the phone capabilities...or you could say an iPhone is an iPod touch that acts as a phone as well. They work great if you're just needing wifi.

    I just upgraded iPhones, so I do have an old 5s...the screen is cracked badly though!

    My buddy uses an iPad with his GoPro...more money probably unless you can find a used one, but the bigger screen would likely be worth the extra cash. Really nice for playing back the video right on the water/ice.

    Yes the iPad mini might be best or an iPod touch, my new iPhone 6 is far superiour than my 5 , battery life alone the 6 is worth it.

    I've got an iPhone 4s with a cracked screen (still works) - In fact, I've got two.

    $40 for one
