I suppose, but that’s what the cloud is for, no?
Also, if you are taking 4k videos, I’d imagine you have a nice desktop or macbook to render the videos which you could also use to store.

Hi all.
I just wanted to ask here if anyone knew what I could do in my situation to somehow get a iPhone 13 mini instead of my 14 pro. The phone is too big for me, and I don’t love the dynamic island. The 13 mini is the phone I would love to trade for this one, but Apple doesn’t allow you to trade in current generation phones for older generations. What is my best option?
Edit* The return window on the 14 Pro has already closed.

Did you consider just using WhatsApp ?

I switched to iPhone in June (so, iOS 15) after being on Android for over a decade and while I'm glad I did, the amount of spam calls and spam texts I got on my iPhone was absolutely insane. Google has been vastly superior in gating spam for years. It does seem like my iPhone has gotten better at it, though.
EDIT: oooooor downvote me. Yay Reddit.

The blocking will only prevent the phone from connecting to any cellular network. It will not stop it from working like an iPod Touch (smart functions and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/..., as in everything that doesn't involve cellular)

Reply to comment by angeluscatalan in 50-60€ to change the battery in a iPhone 7. Still worth it? by angeluscatalan
No problem! Always happy to help Also, if you don’t want to replace your battery, a good portable charger might be 20-30 dollars, however it will be more weight to carry around.

Stopped caring after I said you go to the Apple Store just for a screen protector install. Can’t be more sad than that.

Personally the amount of junk I get has been drastically reduced post-midterm election. Somehow I got onto an ultra-right wing MAGA spam list, I was getting 4-6 messages a day telling me to support Ted Cruz or give all my money to some random fascist on the other side of the country. It was horrible. I would report every single one via this. No idea if this feature also helped cut down the spam but it feels good!

It is definitely repairable as it’s likely just the screen which is damaged, but it will come down to cost and it could be complicated further if you’re buying it pay monthly and still in contract with your mobile provider. If you have an insurance on it such as AppleCare or a third party policy you could try that avenue for hopefully a free repair but without any insurance policy it’s likely to be expensive.
If you don’t have it insured and it’s a fairly recent model it might be worth getting a quote and going ahead, but if it’s an older model it would be better replacing it. If you’re still in contract with a phone provider though check how long is left as it could be expensive to end the contract early with the penalty fees.

Weird how they could even know it’s a phone. Where I live my new iPhone gets sent in a large box that is absolutely not marked. Not even the senders name (Vodafone) is on it. Not even as the return name.

The part of the phone, where display and metal touch. When it’s deformed (usually happens, when the phone falls on the edge), you can get the broken display out, but the new one won’t fit.

An anecdote just to counter this: this summer I brought my 13 Pro in (which is under AppleCare+) when it started acting up after I had been in a terrible downpour with the phone in my pocket. It wouldn't charge, and the display wouldn't accept touch input. At my appointment, the water sticker in the SIM tray was not red. After about 5 minutes if fiddling, the touchscreen started working again. But, it was still failing diagnostics, and they said they wanted to send it out for repair, because unexpected failures (e.g., it should be able to get wet from a rainstorm) get sent out for advanced diagnostic repairs. They told me because of the suspected water damage it would cost the AC+ deductible.
It took over a week to get returned back to the store, surprisingly, and came back with a new rear system that was replaced free of charge under warranty.
So, no, they don't always find water damage, even when you tell them that the phone stopped working after it got wet.

I don't even know what it does at this point, I'm just happy it's there to do... something.
Even if that just makes it instantly disappear and nothing else happened.
I'm assuming there's more to it though. Haven't checked.

Agreed 100%. I have a Pixel I like to use sometimes, so not just being able to swap the sim card is a big disappointment.

Depends if the frame isn’t deformed. If yes, you need to replace the whole phone.
