I kept an iPhone 6S when I upgraded to an iPhone 7, and I use it all the time. I have it muted and set on do not disturb because when I’m reading or listening to ball games, I don’t want them being interrupted by notifications, texts, calls, etc., that frequently come in on my primary phone. I am running beta IOS on the backup phone but not on my primary phone, just in case what has been downloaded has bugs in it. That way I can check it out but not get stuck if it’s something that presents a problem. I keep them both updated, which really isn’t that big a deal since I use them both all the time. Of course, since my backup phone no longer has a SIM card, I can only use it with WIFI, but that’s no problem. If I am listening to a football or basketball game in the car, for example, obviously I have to use my primary phone and hope I don’t get a call to interrupt it. LOL! So, as everyone else has been saying, it is most definitely a matter of preference.
