Iphone 5s on 8.4.....upgrade?

[Oyeve]

I was bored at work and went through my drawer of old, used phones and came across a couple of iphone 5s phones that I had upgraded earlier this year to 6s phones and some of them are on ios 8.4. Are they more in demand for jailbreaking or is the ios ver not an issue anymore? Was gonna put the whole lot of these phones on ebay or ATFS.

Jailbreaking isn't as huge, but unlocking them can make a difference.

Unlocking, meaning works on other carriers? I did pop in my tmo sim into an iphone 5s that was from VZW. It worked fine and the Carrier setting in "settinds>About" switched to tmo. Says tmobile even without a sim. Would this phone be an unlocked phone?

Would it let you make a call?

all (modern, aka within the last 4years) verizon LTE phones are sold unlocked. so yeah, your VZW iPhone is already unlocked

Tmobile/ATT/Sprint phones are typically locked
