The thing you are asking for is not going to be exclusively a “fitness band” but rather a smartwatch which is capable of mirroring your mobile notifications to it. An Apple Watch is the best integration you will have for that. Regardless of whether or not you want the features of even an Apple Watch SE it is very likely your best option and has significantly better fitness tracking than most options

No, not just you. It’s absolutely garbage.

> iPhone 15 Mini (I don’t care if it had terrible sales numbers, people loved it)

That’s not how numbers work. If people loved it it would have sold more

If you want to get a new sim for every trip, Jio might be better. Their process to get eSim at least in Mumbai is super-smooth. Although, they too have their arbitrary rules too - eg: They won't let you change eSims unless you're physically in India.

I'm also a bit surprised you can't add the email address while creating the account. Might be some extra work to get their agent to do this, but might be worth the hassle if it saves you the 2 days.

There won’t be a new SE in 2023. Most likely spring of 2024. They have had to scale back on production of the 14 Plus. It’s sales are worse than the mini. The Pro Max will probably be replaced by the Ultra. Dynamic island most likely will come to everything but the SE. USB-C technically doesn’t have to happen until the iPhone 17 so I’m guessing they’ll squeeze at least one more year out of Lightning.

Apple Company president, Tim Apple, unlocked the phone in person, sources say

I have the Otterbox Commuter on my 13 Mini with the Spigen Tempered Glass Screen Protector. They’ve been on it a year with zero problems and many drops. Excellent protection but not the bulky heavy Otterbox. Easily fits into my front jeans pocket. Purchased from Amazon. Together before tax would be $55.94.

Try Settings > Siri & Search, then disable “Suggestions on Lock Screen".

If (as the other commenter mentioned) it turns out U2 is playing in the official Music app from Apple instead of Spotify, and the above doesn’t work, add this track to your library: https://music.apple.com/us/album/a-a-a-a-a-very-good-song-silent-track/1268932999?i=1268933000

Edit: You could also delete the “Music” app entirely instead of adding the above song, if you plan to use Spotify exclusively

I have that too, but I think it has to do with the autocorrect AI settings that aren’t transferred to my new phone

Imaging believing in anonymity on internet

I’m running on a Mint Sim as well, just like OP. Nearly pulled the trigger for a 14 PM last Oct.

Coming from an 8 Plus PR (I still have it, my back up; a keeper). Am still a firm believer of a physical SIM. That is why I prefer (after weighing the Pros vs Cons between the two) and went for a mint year old 13 PM instead (vs a new 14 PM). The 13 PM is just perfect for my yearly international travels.

With both physical SIM and eSIM abilities, the 13 PM is more versatile than the sole eSIM 14 PM. Removing the physical SIM from the 14 PM was a cost cutting measure for the US market (many fail to realize). Apple didn’t raise prices for the iPhone in the US as they claim..but of course, there’s gotta be a “trade off” somewhere (removing the physical SIM feature)..

Not just u

Philosophically speaking no one wants their data privacy such as location be compromised.

But in practice it matters little unless you commit a crime.

okay thanks

Same question. I downloaded it and after it couldn’t guess anything I deleted it after like 10 minutes.

nah man i didnt

Damn those drivers apparently make bank or more than your typical delivery driver. Sad to see them ruin a rather good reputation

Haha! I considered it, but I don’t need another phone. Additionally, it sounds like it won’t really turn on or even work, like it needs to be activated with a phone company. Especially if it was someone else’s order that got mixed in with mine perhaps.

And if I were to sell it, someone else might not be able to turn it on if it was meant to go to someone else and is disabled, and I wouldn’t sleep well if I knew I may have screwed someone out of money for a deadweight iPhone.

So, I think I didn’t word this properly, my apologies.

When I say I opened the box and the iPhone wasn’t in there, I mean the actual iPhone box, not the shipping box. You know how they come in a white box container with a picture of the iPhone on the front and what not? I mean I opened that box and it was empty. Like the literal container.

I did get an empty trade in box as well, it was sent when I received the internet equipment.

Sorry for the confusion, so many boxes and I’m not sure how to word it. Lol

Edit to add: I grabbed the iPhone’s box, out of the top of the shipping box. I didn’t open the white iPhone box itself bc I wanted the store associate to put my screen protector on and I wear so much sunscreen that I would have gotten the beautiful new screen covered in zinc oxide residue and what not. So I opened the iPhone container for the first time, in store, in front of the associates. They thought I was playing a prank on them at first when I asked where the phone was.

Just keep it lol maybe it’s a gift from the delivery people for misplacing the package. The delivery guy opened up another box and sent placed the phone In yours lol haha imagine

Ya send it back if you want sure

it was in the same box. It was beneath tissue paper and a bunch of papers from Verizon. It’s totally wrapped in plastic so I’m assuming there’s a phone in there still lol. I’m just super confused as to how it ended up in there, I just feel like I have so many questions I won’t get answers to.

It wasn’t stolen. When you purchase a phone with a trade in option they ship you an empty box separately, and typically before your actual phone arrives. Your phone is still in transit. You received the trade in shipping box to mail in your trade in phone.

Wow that’s amazing. So the 12 was in the same delivery box as the 14 pro or a separate shipping box?

I'd say my autocorrect has been consistently awful. I usually spend about as much time editing as i do typing. In particular mine likes to add extra letters to short words.
