Thanks! I’d never had an iPhone until my current phone that I got in December 2021 so I wasn’t sure how AppleCare worked. I saw some price breakdowns online but I wanted to ask a real customer because I know that if I asked Apple, or AT&T, both would be more likely to tell me the positives of their plans and gloss over the negatives.

Cool. Nice to see a trillion dollar company really pushing the envelope these days. Their R&D team must be top notch

So it’s worse than the 14 Pro purple basically, weird flex but okay..

Don’t think I’ll be getting another iPhone. I switched from android back in 2017 and got a 6 plus. It lasted till about 2021 then I got the 12 pro max which I really like but they really dropped the ball on the 13 and 14. I mean normally they change very little but the 13 is no different from the 12 and the 14 just has that dynamic island which I don’t care for.

I gotta start researching other phones but from the looks of it I’ll probably go with a pixel. Way cheaper and has a great camera and much more you can do with it. I do love the compatibility of the iPhone and will miss iMessage but that’s about it

Exactly. Also, they just don’t exist to me until the green bubble 😂

Apple supports phones longer than any other manufacturer with immediate updates that don’t leave you waiting for months wondering when your specific phone will get it.

In addition, the oldest phone currently supported by iOS 16 is the iPhone 7, released in 2016. However, most apps (for example YouTube) only require around iOS 14 to work. And the oldest phone that can run those is the iPhone 6s from 2015.

So unless you’re the type to keep the same device for 8 years, you will never need to buy a new iPhone to use apps.

Nah, it also slides in and out of my pocket easier. I've rarely ever dropped my phone in years of no case usage. In the car I have a magsafe mount I plop it onto.

I just hate dealing with any carrier insurance programs. Apple is far less of a headache if something does happen!

You mean until Apple doesn't push updates anymore so it's stuck on an old iOS but app get updated and don't support the old iOS so inorder to use them you need to buy a new phone

Wish they would come out with a flip iphone already. Anything besides same ol' glass slab for the 15th year in a row

Oh okay. I’m new to iPhone as of the 13 series so I didn’t know the different versions had different colors available

Yeah because the pro line up is different from the 13

I’m typing this comment on a grey-black iPhone 13 Pro so I’m not sure what you mean.

Do you prefer AppleCare+ to insurance from your cell service carrier? I have AT&T and pay $15 a month for their Advantage Protection plan, and then it’s $150 to replace the phone if I have a breakage. It seems like AppleCare+ would be cheaper overall and a better deal, but I’m not sure.

Yeah I switched to Android years back because all the iPhones were getting too big. But if they release a new phone that's the size of an iPhone5 I'd switch back immediately. I loved the way the iPhone5 felt in my hand.

Has anyone else also stopped giving a shit about iPhone leaks?

Ya but clear cases. I buy a new phone every 2-3 years and rock the clear apple case until the phone sees it’s grave.

Same. I don’t suppose we will know for sure for a few more months.

Depends what your daily life looks like. I do grocery delivery and DoorDash so I’m walking while holding my phone in one hand, getting in and out of my car dozens of times per day, walking on stairs and asphalt frequently, etc. I feel like I’d probably have issues at least with the screen if I dropped it in the course of my regular job…and I don’t want to find out whether I’m right or not. So the $20-40 case is worth my peace of mind, especially compared to the $150-250 it would cost to get a replacement with the insurance I have on the phone.

Revolutionary

I know! Weird.

Moreso they get dirty as hell and yellow from the sun

Yeahhh….

I’m at a point where I think I’m unsubscribing from r/gadgets. Headlines like “Apple picks colors” aren’t why I was interested in modern tech.

I’d prefer the iPhone’s dynamic island because it offers a little functionality and a better Face ID system. Also I wouldn’t be using that screen space for anything anyway.

Man I gotta get the dark red one. Have been wanting to get one since forever.
