Amazon does not actually refurbish anything (just minimal checks to see if it powers up) and then call it renewed, and if it is a third-party seller, as often as not, it is just a repackaged used phone. Last I checked Apple will also not replace a third-party battery - look up the warranty terms online. Personally, I would just return the device for a refund. At least pre-owned from Best Buy has actually been checked out. Amazon "refurbished" is no better than eBay but people think otherwise due to the name. You have no idea what other problems the device may have and you have already been scammed on the battery front. Don't perpetuate it (and help scammers stay in business) by keeping something that is anything but a deal.

Get a ProClip bracket for your car and a set of small screws, a 17mm ball-head adapter and a Maus MagSafe Charging Vent Mount. Screw the adapter to the bracket. Unscrew the jaws from the Maus charger and fit onto the ball-head and install the bracket into your car.

I gave my son my 13 Pro Max last week and thought I could get along using my 3rd generation iphone SE. Nope. It's a great little phone. Going back to 60 hz was worse than I thought. So I bought a Pixel 7 yesterday. So far I like it. It's no A15 for sure and it shows in gaming. I like that the apps are alphabetized and the android experience is different. I am a die hard apple fan. Have the latest watch, ipad. However, I get bored. I tried and returned a Samsung s22 plus and another Samsung earlier this year. Too much overheating even when adding a fan. It was a nice UI though. I will go back to apple late fall 2023 for the 15 and look forward to seeing the long term tests on the newest Snapdragon. The androids seem to be closing the gap a bit.

You prefer the notifications on iPhone over android you must be mad!

And I made the switch TO iPhone this cycle

I kept hearing about all this “polish” but man I’ve had so many apps crash or keyboard freezes etc

Also it drives me insane how Apple forces you to have apps from top to bottom on the Home Screen .like what?!

I LOVE the battery life and camera on the iPhone

Actually, you can export multiple at a time: on the highlights page, tap and hold one, wait until it “lifts”, then tap the other highlights one by one. With your other finger, use the app switcher to go to a note, drag and drop the highlights there.

Not as great as pre iOS 16, but it’s better than nothing.

That's funny, i went from a 6 pro to a 14 Pro max and I agree with you in a lot of points. To me, iphones are boring, but boring isn't bad. Yes overall I'd say my experience on the iPhone is more polished but that's not to say it wasn't polished on the 6 pro. I do miss the camera on the pixel as it was much better imo. Apps do run better on iOS though WhatsApp, weirdly enough, is the one I solidly prefer on Android.

I do wholeheartedly disagree about notifications though, they're done so much better on Android it's kind of ridiculous. Also, the typing experience is much better on Android too. But to each their own. I do love the hardware of the iPhone but it's software makes me want more.
