I buy the $10 3 packs off Amazon. They’ve held up better and lasted longer than any “Name Brand” I’ve ever used.

I mean it’s not advertised, and I know only 1 other person that knows it exists. Definitely not well known.

i41CX. It mirrors the HP-41CX calculator, which is still the best calculator I have ever had.
When I was managing construction projects, it kept me from having to carry around another device.
Plus it uses RPN notation, and runs everything, synthetic programs and all, the original HP-41CVX would do. It runs on the iPad also, which is a big plus.

Reply to comment by lolz_lmaos in Thinking about getting an iPhone after having only Androids (mainly Samsung) for all my life by Zabbidou
I'll add that this thing, in conjunction with other rather small qol stuff and the abysmal notifications, caused me to move back to my Samsung.

I back this up. Live photo affects the image quality when the light conditions are less than ideal, because it limits the shutter speed to minimum, when possible, which doesn't allow as much light to be captured by the sensor. You may notice that live photos are automatically turned off in night mode, and it's because the iPhone cannot keep the shutter speed low enough and just disables live photos in exchange for a longer exposure.
In ideal light conditions, the difference is negligible.

Really? I'm tired of people repeating it as a "Hidden feature"

Yeah 5x zoom tops, big reason i didn't go for the Plus

Floss called it a peasant phone for a reason.

I have the s21 fe and it's 25x but it's a inferior OS by far.

Why would they move backwards with the main (wide) lens? The best way to fix this would be adding autofocus to the ultrawide camera so the macro mode works for the non Pro iPhones too. I bet it’s going to happen in a couple more iterations.

The Pro models can take photos of objects that are extremely close, because they switch to a “macro mode” where they use the ultrawide camera, which has autofocus. The normal models don’t have an ultrawide with autofocus, so they can’t do this.

Thanks for the information, that was very helpful and informative. I kept mixing up telephoto with ultra wide for some reason.

If you're OK with maybe around 2.7-3.7 years of iOS upgrades, the 11 is a decent phone. Just make sure the battery is in acceptable shape, or you'll want to replace it.
There are no guarantees but, historically speaking, apple has generally supported iPhones with iOS upgrades for around 6-7 years, sometimes with an additional 1-2 years of security updates.
The iPhone 11 was released in September 2019, or roughly 3.3 years ago. So, we can guess (and hope!) that the 11 will get roughly another 2.7-3.7 years of iOS upgrades, plus maybe another 1-2 years of security updates.

Okay, the plus doesn’t have ultrawide.

Running a 2016 6S and perfectly happy with it after one battery change. I expect another 2-3 years before I change it.

What’s the difference between telephoto and ultrawide? I’ve always heard it called the former.

i’m currently on an locked iphone 12 that’s showing some age; it heats up frequently, dies quickly, and freezes/glitches under task.
i have to get a new plan regardless as i don’t want my guardians to have to cover by phone bill anymore, so i thought about going all in with a new plan and a new phone. thinking about upgrading to a 14 plus. bad call?

Hey hope you guys are doing well, I live in the United Arab Emirates and I purchased AirPods for a friend who lives in Germany. I received an email saying that signature is required upon delivery.

I use the Spigen on my 14PM and it's great. Incredibly easy to install, too.
