You can find used iOS devices that run iOS 15, and therefore modern safari, for like $80.



Agree with this. You want something with the least headaches as possible. You should be able to run the the Home Assistant App as well.

If you get a old iPhone and buy a replacement battery still more than likely be cheaper than buying a Rpi + screen + lipo-hat + battery.


Does it even need to be a current version? If it's only used to access the web interface of a local device that you trust, I've wondered if you couldn't get away with an even older device/OS/browser. The only problem I can think of is if ex. HA ships an update that uses newer browser features, and even that wouldn't be a problem if you did the dashboard custom.
