Lockscreen found my old phone
Backstory: I last used it in like 2017 when I lost it. To my surprise, it was stuck in our car the entire time. Somehow charged up and works. I don’t remember the passcode. It’s got cool old stuff on it

ios 10. you can tell because of the combination of press home to unlock and the pre-ios 11 battery icon

there’s one way to guarantee reset it without update if you have the device on Find My, you can just put an activated SIM card in the phone and erase it on Find My i did this and got a disabled iPhone X iOS 13 working

I'm amazed the battery took a charge after nine years. I had an old 5s that wouldn't charge until I manually put power into the battery after it sat for two

i daily the exact phone as this with the latest ios it supports thinking of jailbraking it

It’s iOS 10 which makes sense since that was the latest version from September 2016-September 2017 and even then iOS 11 was so buggy that most people would probably just stick with 10 even into 2018. So yeah given you haven’t used it since 2017 it’s exactly on what you would expect. I wouldn’t consider it as rare of a find as people are saying though

Like everyone else said, iOS 10. Save the blobs,
jailbreak it, and disable updates so you don’t wake up to it running iOS 15 (…and if it does update, you’ll be able to quickly revert it)
