Well. I was getting great battery life the day before I upgraded. I believe the battery was replaced by Apple before I bought it. Anyway, I just upgraded to 16.3. I’ll give it a week and see how it goes.

Yeah Dbrand are a great company tbf, that's not a bad shout at all

Which is one year away, yes. That’s how an yearly subscription works.

Personally if you can get direct from apple I would, can cost more but you know it will genuinely be refurbished and like new.

Trick is finding what you want but stock changes often: https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished

We have gotten phones and laptops this way, like new but less cost

Fair. I used to get only black too, then I started getting white and now I’m sick of both colors lol.

Yup! I will try to trade it in for a black. Let’s see.

I always got a black phone prior to this. This was my first time to go for any other color. I have seen few space black around with and without cases and I feel that color looks better than deep purple. Just my personal take.

I’ve been using Dbrand screen protectors on my last few devices.

They come in a pack of 2 at a reasonable cost. Application isn’t as easy as Spigen, however it’s still fairly simple.

I had broken one and gave another away and they sent replacements for just the shipping cost when I had to replace the broken one.

Very easy to deal with them.

I have the version with the EarPod charger base. Works great.

tried it out. loved the structured way of the calendar, but had some problems with syncing between devices, editing the day on PC and not seeing it refreshed on widgets on phone or watch for until I opened the app on without :/ that was a boomer for me. but the app is great tho!

I always selected the iPhone in the darkest color. It was something about the red at the time that helped me ignore the white bezel for a while. I liked everything about the 7plus it took me a while to upgrade to the XR.

Once you go black you never go back.

refurb iphone se 3rd gen all day. the cameras between the two phones are basically the same, iphone mini has the ultrawide as well.

my opinion is if youre upgrading from the 1st gen se, you should get the third as its astronomically cheaper than the iphone 13 mini. i paid $250 for mine from amazon. youll be happy with the upgrade either way though.

why does everyone sleep on the se? its a great phone. id pick the 3rd gen se over those older phones all day.

Honestly? It's unproportioned. It's like a person with a huge head. I love the tiny small factor though. Anyhow I stick with Samsung S22 that's more harmonic. My view.

Yes it is. I seen in a few other threads that 16.3 is causing issues with alarms. So it is a known issue

iphone se 3rd gen

$250. has the latest chipset.

the 2nd gen is $150 right now. amazon renewed is a really good service. i dont know how it happened but the one i received was. brand new, just not in apple packaging.

Yeah, whenever I take my old 12 mini into my hands I can’t believe what a brick 14 pro is. Heavy AF indeed.

My biggest gripe with the product red iPhone 7 was the white bezel which was fixed with the 8, but the 8 series didn’t cut it for me looks wise. I also don’t dig the dual cam setup on the 7 plus, doesn’t look great

I’m hopeless at putting them on without dust and bubbles but this one worked first time and with the stencil applicator it also positioned it perfectly. I was so impressed I brought another and stuck it in the draw should I need another. There is even a video of how to install for dummies like me. https://www.cygnett.com/products/opticshield-for-iphone-2022-6-7-triple-camera

Why not? I have an iPhone 14 pro here. Do i have to love everything which apple snorts out?

I had the product red 7plus I upgraded from the 5s. The 5s and 7plus are my favorite devices. I see ya living dangerously. I was like with my XR I quickly went back to skins and light cases.

why do you wish you got the black instead?
