iPhone 5 or earlier Is the iPhone 4s still worth it?

Hello, I was going to flash an IOS 6.1.3 IPSW to a huge batch (like 500) iPhone 4S. As most of you know, Apple started signing IOS 6 IPSW for iPhone 4S to allow official downgrades in 2018. It failed to flash to all of them. So I went to the Ipsw.me website to download a new IPSW file, thinking...- Minneapolis208
