>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.

I would try to activate it anyway. Maybe it isn't tied to whoever purchased it. Legally you are protected. If they ask for it back they would have to send you a paid return label.

Yea, it's a shame it has come to this because of worthless thieves.

Not exactly the same scenario (different shipping method), but I ordered an iPad Pro from Apple and didn't realize it was sent by basically an Uber Eats driver. I got lucky that it actually arrived, but I'll never willingly order delivery from anywhere that uses that type of delivery.

I've had terrible luck with Grubhub, Uber Eats, etc food delivery where the drivers stole part of the order causing me to spend too much time trying to get a refund. And I still ended up screwed by a few bucks.

I wish these people were held accountable. It could be such a convenient service if it weren't for shitty people.

>I wish I had just waited for a 512 GB because I worry 256 isn’t enough space.

Ok I tell everyone this: If you think you might need more space, you really don't. The only people who need the 1TB etc. are professional videographers/vloggers who use iPhone for some weird reason. For everyone else it is much cheaper to just pay for as much cloud storage as you need for the duration of owning the phone. Chances are you already pay for Amazon Prime which already gives you unlimited free uncompressed photo storage.

If you have the box for the stolen phone still and some record of your purchase of that specific phone, as in matching serial numbers, you might try contacting apple to get them to disable that phone to discourage the thief from stealing again.

OP, I have a 128gb iPhone 12.

I have about 30 games, 10gb of music, every app I could ask for, and 4,000 photos & videos.

I still have 30gb left.

Unless you’re legit putting 15k+ photos, or filming movies on the damn thing, 256gb is fine for 99% of people.

My 7 works fine, more than any budget Android. If it works, why change? That’s my point of view.

I dont know if the other components will last. Maybe i am lucky maybe im not.

I opened this thread to help me and take a decision. Probably i will delay again and hold the 7 until it dies another component.

Thank you for your help

You might. Depending on the case, we don’t lol. But like I said, Apples security and encryption is why we dislike working with the phones, but the same reason all of us own one lol. If people knew how easy android was… everyone would own a iPhone.

I upgraded to a 13 promax a year ago, and wanted the 1tb because I knew I’d have a lot of music on it. Couldn’t find a 1tb anywhere, but it seems I don’t really need it. I still haven’t added the 8000 to10000 songs I have on my iPod, but even won’t use up half of the 516gb.
