Best move. Verify the listing states it’s a unlocked and working phone, then open a case. eBay favors the buyer 99% of the time.

Nope iPhone user since it came out. I didn’t have this issue with my old phone

Let me guess, former android user?

You can use it all the time. My phone lives in low power. An iPhone 13 in low power is similar to an iPhone X with full performance.

For battery life, 5G eats power, so does background app refresh as well as location services.

Yeah but I personally find the headphone warnings super annoying… if I have the volume on about a third of the slider with my Galaxy Buds2 Pro, the sound thingy in the control center shows it in the yellow and sometimes red and yet, I can barely hear the music.

I throw my nasty AirPod Gen 2s in there and they’re so caked with ear wax it is basically the same deal. They made sense back when I got the phone a year and some change ago, but with these issues there is no telling if I actually am putting my ears at risk or not.

13 mini

imo not really unless you want the bigger screen for youtube consumption

What do you meaning lasting the majorly of college? do you mean in terms of battery life or in terms of software support?

Yeah. The CRTC is doing some good stuff in the last few years.

The times I was caseless my phone fell out of my pocket and shattered on concrete. And since then I’ve had a case on because my phone has continued to fall out of my pockets.

Another reason is because the glass gets very cold in the winter and super hot in the summer.

WHAT????

I don't really care about the satellite emergency and crash detector. I mostly care about how long would the phone stay without being outdated and battery life. So do you still think I should go 13?

Buy the 13, there’s not enough differences to justify the extra $100 on the 14. Besides the 13 would still last a ton of more years down the road so you’ll be good

I just use those like beauty care little cotton balls and some isopropyl alcohol, works like a charm but I wouldn’t use higher than 71% as most phones come with a coating nowadays and alcohol could maybe strip it

Theres a oficial polishing cloth that costs $29.99

Need to upgrade from my current 8 plus, but deciding between 12-13-14 pro or pro max. Are the pros really as weighty as I’ve heard. My main priority is battery as I’m a power user so I’m curious how much longer is the battery on a regular pro vs pro max in everyday use? I mentioned 12, 13, 14 pros bc based on Apple refurbs price and new 14 pro are very similar in price within $200 of each other here in Canada. Thx

I have found that my phone starts to feel real slow I do hard resets. If that doesn’t work then every few months I will plug my phone in my computer. I will put in dfu mode. Then I will restore and update. This will reinstall the whole OS and erase everything (back up data to the cloud). Then I will setup my phone as new and not restore from backup.

Another option would be to get a new battery as the device is anywhere between 3 and 5 years old and batteries degrade. Old batteries will slow performance down.

Service provider maps are also fairly misleading. Depending on what carrier you have service may vary. I’ve had times where one bar has been a very good rock solid connection and 5 bars be completely useless.

Lastly perhaps a newer phone. An iPhone 12 or newer. Apple replaced the intel modems with Qualcomm modems and they are much better. This ignores 5G. Sometimes it’s better other times not. I am on AT&T and 5G is less than half the speed of LTE(5GE). The only way to get access to all the bands on AT&T is to have an iPhone 14 series or S23 series.

Yeah I’m talking “set a reminder” type stuff and it’s just completely failing

Rubbing alcohol

Did she ever really work? She has been working on my phone for simple tasks, like “turn on the living run lights” that’s about all I use her for.

Verizon did the same thing when BBY sold unlocked phones. One of the only avenues to get a truly unlocked phone AND not have any carrier lock imposed is to get directly from Apple or an Apple Store.

I have two cases and I use them about 40% of the time. I prefer to use my phones without a case.

I do have a screen protector on it though just because it picked up a few very minor scratches on the screen before.

Also, 5G destroys battery life throughout the day.
