One nice thing would be to have the settings for the app also in the app.

Still use a case. Even if it’s only $99 I’d rather not go through the process

Glasses wipes or hand sanitizer with my shirt.

Best Buy no longer sells new unlocked iPhones unless they are refurbished models. If you go to a best buy and pay in full for an iPhone it will be carrier locked. If you plan to purchase an unlocked iPhone go strait to an Apple Store.
I would go back to Best Buy and try to return the phone. Then go to apple and pay in full or use iPhone upgrade program to finance it if you have good credit.

I am currently looking to buy an Iphone and I am quite torn between both the 13 and 14. I was going for the 14 since it's the newer version and I am not planning to switch phones again in the near future. So I was wondering if I should go for the 14 since it's the newer phone or should I just buy the 13 and save the difference
TL;DR Should I buy the 13 or 14 putting in mind the battery since I am quite used to android's amazing batterry

I’m in NY. That sucks that they were locked. What kills me is going back to the 6, I had no idea they locked phones. Gave 2 6s away to family overseas, they tell me the phone is locked. Had no idea what they were talking about. That was with Verizon. I paid cash for those phones from Apple. Verizon locked them.

That's cool and all, maybe it depends on the state or country. But I bought my last 2 phones cash and they were locked for 90 days.

Had 4 phones added to T mobile, no one of them was locked. Out of all the devices, I only had one that was on a payment plan with T mobile. The minute I paid the phone off I was able to unlock it in the app.

Have you tried reinstalling it or clearing the cache? I don't use Twitter but I remember reading a while ago that unlike other apps there is a lot of content that loads at once when you use it/open it and stays in ram while also using cpu power, even if you're not accessing said content .

No, and moving them to a different service would be difficult and would probably require a computer, as it would have to download the photos to your device before uploading to a new service. And you don’t have the space to do that.

Any social media apps will kill your battery so add Twitter and Facebook to the list.

It does. But there are limitations to how compressed the files can be and still give you access to them. For example I have 14GB in iCloud Photos taking up 800MB on my iPhone and 400MB on my iPad, due to it only having 32GB of storage. You still have a finite amount of phone storage, and once filled up the only thing you can do is backup your photos from iCloud to a computer. You should be able to see the compressed amount of storage vs iCloud storage used by comparing the storage in iCloud settings and iPhone storage setting.

There may always be blind spots in coverage.. Ma’s house was one example.. 100m up or down the road and there was coverage.. or go to second floor and stand at west side at window to try erratic coverage. Reason.. tower pointed at her but house just below hill. Bro’s house (other place) has coverage but very bad.. reason.. tower one pointer at his direction too far away.. tower two was closed but seems to be pointed away from his house.
Their solutions? Ma moved into city.. Bro was just happy work couldn’t get a hold on him 😬
Worth mention.. different providers uses different bands.. and different bands has it’s + and -.. High freq bands = faster (more data) BUT towers needs to be closer. Great for cities. Lower freq bands = slower but reach longer.. great for outside cities.

Dude how...are you playing games all the time? I get 8-11 hours SOT on my 13 pro. I admit that 30% of that time is spent on watching videos and most of it is on wifi, but still the difference is huge. Maybe 5G is the issue.

- 
Buy from an Apple Store or a major retailer. Preferably an Apple Store since they don’t pull any carrier bs. 
- 
Check seal on the box. If the two pull tabs are intact (and it’s purchased from a proper store), it should be fine. Never accept the item if the seal is broken. 
- 
Check IMEI number. You should be able to enter this onto the Apple website and get a confirmation whether the phone is legitimate or not.
