I know somebody who spent tons of money on a fold and the screen cracked. Fortunately, the warranty covered it but he seems to think another defect is occurring.

I am totally into the Apple ecosystem but just bought an Android phone for fun because it was a good deal combined with a year of service. If anything, it can be a backup phone if an iPhone in our house breaks.

My main phone will continue to be my iPhone 13 Pro Max though.

I dunno I might upgrade from my 12 pro max, I might not, I don’t really have any issues with mine currently that warrants an upgrade.

Gone are the days of upgrading phones at every opportunity.

It’s funny know that I had this phone on a 2 year contract and didn’t even notice it was paid off for a few months when I realized our bill dropped drastically.

Previously I would be counting down the days or paying it off early to get in to that next fancy phone.

I'm an avowed Apple hater. Can't stand the company, don't think their products are anything special by and large, and while I do own a Mac and an iPad for development purposes, I never use them outside that purpose and never would. I'm simply not a fan.

But, I'm also diabetic, and that will all change the day they release this. I'll buy an iPhone and an Apple Watch day one. Most especially if, as I assume, it would be continuous monitoring (and assuming it's accurate, obviously).

Paradigm shift is exactly right.

If they can pull this off, it'll be a real game changer for a lot (and a growing number) of people. They will have earned my money, if not my adoration, for sure.
