Reply to iPhone 12 Pro Max to iPhone 14 Pro Max? by kemalpasha

I did it. Main reason though was because Verizon gave me $800 to trade in a cracked Xr. I did that and gave my son my 12 Pro Max.

So far, I’m definitely pleased, with the pro motion display, the camera, and the brightness.

Reply to comment by kindofageek in It was so cool seeing this in the Colorado mountains by SurfaceLapQuestion

Battery life is about 10 days with minimized settings and an unobstructed view of the sky. I wore it on my pack for a climb of Shuksan, and used about 10%. It also has better satellite connectivity than the Mini1. And it seems very durable in an outside environment. I did not feel like I had to baby it. Just set it and forget it. (I have shattered phone screens in my living room and broken a camera on my first use of it, before I even took it out of my backpack.) and it works with the Garmin messaging app. Text messages from your phone to the M2 are seamless. However the messaging software on the M2 itself is terrible. The software interface for the system settings is also aweful. But you can do a lot of it on your cell phone. You really need a cell phone to get 100% use of the Mini.

Reply to Do you think it’s impractical to keep using an iPhone 8 in 2023? by kindascandalous

I still use an iPhone 8 as my everyday phone.

I used to use it heavily a few months ago, where I had to work on remote industrial sites, had to take pictures, send mails on the go, read documents, maps, schemes, debug automats while calling people from other countries, etc… So I was quite a heavy user. I used it in dusty, noisy, cold and hot environments

Except for the short battery life, I didn’t need anything more.
