Reply to comment by Shankayy in Time for new iPhone (India): eSIM Question by drDVMHomie
Another guy says he's got Vi, Jio, and Airtel, all eSIM. Can use any two and drop third, depending on who's got the best coverage where he is. Not sure why I'd need a physical sim any longer…

> What limitations have you experienced outside of customization?
Here's my short list off the top of my head:
- can't play music while recording video (i didn't realize how much i used to do that!)
- music doesn't consistently automatically resume after something stops it (phone call, video recording, etc.)
- picture in picture? (Nah, this screen is really too small for it anyways, but worth mentioning for bigger devices maybe?)
- independently adjust different volume settings (alarm, alert, ringer, media) without that type being currently playing.
- gboard isn't available in every app
- gboard missing the clipboard feature
- copy-paste doesn't always work between different apps
- overall app interconnectedness is much lower than on Pixel
- face recognition is great but i miss the middle of the back fingerprint reader(on my Pixel 2 i could have it unlocked ready to use by the time i was looking at it)
- no-look camera activation by double tapping power (again, having it ready by the time i was actually looking at it. On iphone i can set up the double knock shortcut for camera, but it's not as fast or reliable)
- autocorrect is pretty awful on all keyboards i have tried
- easy access to media controls from all apps that could be playing media
- old notifications take an extra swipe to view
- some notifications cannot be dismissed with a swipe (for various reasons, but it's not always clear which ones are swipe proof until i swipe at it) And ends up opening the camera app while I'm trying to dismiss
- i have to dig through the settings app to customize individual app notification settings and they're much less flexible, usually all or nothing(sometimes more flexible notifications are available in the app itself)
- i almost forgot flip to silence! (I used to think the hard switch for silence was cool, and it still is, but if i could choose between the hardware switch and flip to silence i would take flip to silence everyday) ...That's all i can think of right now.

I’ve used random power banks before (no brand names) the worst thing about them is that they break easily and are never the correct mah or charging speed they advertise to be.
Me and the misses used to carry around up to 5 everywhere we went and had even more at home. I’ve never had one break my phone in anyway before.

Yes.
Having 2 sims on at once does impact battery though. Also if your workphone has remote monitoring tools you would now have those installed on your personal phone.

Nomad is great. Data got a lot cheaper where I live but it used to be costly. It was always cheaper just to get Nomad esims when needed.

In my country there's a huge difference between the price of 12 and 12 mini tbh. And they're not selling 11 Pro anymore here. Also, 11 actually costs a bit more than the 12 Mini here lol. If I could stretch my budget for a 12 then I would also be able to buy the iPhone 13. (and 13 mini costs more than 13 Lmao)

Just kidding man. It’s perfectly fine. Your phone will cut out at whatever charging wattage is is compatible with. So a 40w brick will cap out at 25w if the phone supports only 25w.
As for the screen flickering, it is probably a coincidence and sounds like it’s on its way out.iPhone X is quite old by now hardware wise.

We do not have Apple stores here in Sri Lanka as of yet. We have authorized Apple resellers though, they all have a standard price after tax. However other vendors bring down phones from either Singapore, Japan or USA and is always cheaper than the "authorized" resellers. This time USA being the cheapest since it doesn't have the sim tray. Japan ones are a bit cheaper as well for no real reason.
They're all the same basically. Make sure the phone isn't carrier locked and isn't USA (LL/A) so that you'll have a physical sim tray. I'm not sure about shops in India, but you should be able to find some, just browse around instagram and whatnot.
I don't recommend the 13 mini for the poor battery life and not so great usability. The 13 Pro or the Pro Max is good. Unless you're getting them for a cheap price tag, there's no point of not upgrading to the newer 14 Pros.

Received the iPhone 14 as a gift.
Currently using iPhone X.
Should I pay the $200 difference and upgrade to the iPhone 14 Pro or stick with what I have?
I’ve watched plenty of YouTube comparison videos and it appears the Pro camera is marginally better and the phone has a few extra features that I probably won’t use, but it would be nice to know I have the best phone available.

Yes your phone will blow up and most likely burn down your home

Reply to Time for new iPhone (India): eSIM Question by drDVMHomie
- You don’t have to change your phone number in order to switch to eSIM. Instructions might be different across telecom communication companies but as an Airtel customer, I just had to send an SMS , Receive a QR code via email, scan it and that’s it.
- There’s no reason NOT to buy a phone from US if the price difference is more than 15-20k. I personally wouldn’t do the hassle if the difference is 10k or less.

Bigger battery and the lightning cable is not really the fastest charger out there
