It’s not too useful but I do like the aesthetics of it a lot, which is more of a plus than you think.

maybe he meant software support? because technically the S9 released in 2018 doesn’t have the latest android version

XS Max underrated

SE 2020 or a XR. SE cause it’ll last longer with software support, XR because it has by far the best battery compared to the SE, XS & X

iPhone 11 easy. sure the tech nerds are gassing up the XS’s display (which there is some truth to it it’s actually better than the 11) but it’s not that much better how they hype it up to be. the 11s display would be good for everyday usage

anyways id get the 11 because it’ll last longer & it has a much better battery life that you’ll appreciate more often

It looked like a PSP. Of course the PSP was a good design.

probably because it’s 99% the same phone as the base 13 & he realized he got ripped off $100 so he’d rather use extra money to get his moneys worth on a 14 pro

what’s your budget looking like?

13 pro tbh

this is my opinion so take it how you want. for $400 more you’re getting the dynamic island, AOD, 48mp camera & the safety features apple made a big deal about.

i didnt mention 120hz, the zoom cam or the macro cam because you can get those 2 features from a used/refurbished or old stock 13 pro from another retailer but yes you can technically get those from the 14 pro too

anyways my 2 cents is i personally don’t think the 14 pro is worth $400 more than the 13. i can live without 120hz, the dynamic island looks like a gimmick to me, safety features while nice to have i wouldn’t use them & then the 48mp cam would take up too much storage. imo the only features id be looking foward to are the zoom cam, macro cam & the AOD. but $400 more worth it? i personally wouldn’t, id rather save the money & get a 13. it’s still a great value phone & you get most of everything you’d need

however don’t get me wrong if ur drooling over some of those features the 14 pro has then sure go for it, as it’s not in a bad situation to get like the base 14 is but me personally i’d rather save $400

either available on carriers/other retailers or as the dude stated, used/refurbished from literally anywhere

if i were you i’d honestly keep the 11 and get the macbook. doing work on uni is more important than having the latest phone. you can definitely wait until the 15 judging from what u said

Who else here has dropped these on them selves while in bed. The literal moment it slips, I scrunch up my face and turn my head 😭

Do you plan on buying new straight from apple or used/refurbished elsewhere?

and what’s your ideal budget looking like?

How long do you plan to keep your phone before your next upgrade?

the 11 should last you 3 years so i would take that tbh especially if ur more on a budget

but honestly a 13 is good also if you wanna play it safe & keep it even longer

as for the 11 being “oUtDaTeD” i wouldn’t worry about that. it still has the new all screen design & has face id so if people think it’s outdated then they’re just trying to put you down imo

You Need A Budget. It’s a budgeting app and I’ve been user for almost a decade. It’s lead me to form good financial habits and I’ve gotten many hooked on it.

No shame, here’s my referral link if you want to try it for a free month

not bad

For $20 on Amazon, you can buy a little kit that has a dozen or more of close lenses and telephoto lenses that attach onto the lens part of your iPhone. They’re really good I was quite surprised.

You want the best battery life but don’t care for the cameras? 14+

maybe a 13 pro max if you can find one used/refurbished because if you do it should be around the 14+s price range new. but if you buy new then def a 14+

If you’re on a budget consider an 11 pro max as it’s also a beast altho make sure it’s battery health is good

That’s where I go deep down in the Wikipedia black hole to follow artists and see how they are linked. Fascinating when starting to ‘dig’.

Didn't know i could request a refund on something from the app store or subscriptions. Great tip! Will try that in the future.

See if a friend has an old iPhone or ipad they have in a drawer somewhere.. ask if you can borrow it . You can put it on Wi-Fi and play with it. Factory wipe it and create and an Apple ID and just start fiddling with it.. it’s not that bad once you get to know it. Most annoying thing is the shade to pull down for menu… nope gotta find the setting icon… not in the shade menu like android

Maybe its a bug related to your language. maybe.
