Man, I am loving this phone! Battery life is amazing. I get up, plug it in and by the time I feed and walk the dog, have breakfast, it’s pretty much charged.

Our 12s were pretty much fine, maybe a slight decrease in battery life but nothing too limiting. Decided in the fall if we were going to replace them anytime soon we should pull the trigger early rather than late. Glad we did.

We got the Pro Max version. Pictures are awesome. Plus they made the camera super accessible.

I've had a Pro Max 13 since they first came out. It was the first of the long battery life iPhones, I think. Forget the camera or all the other features...the best feature of this new line is the battery with improved battery life. I have no intention of upgrading anytime soon, it works just fine. I keep it protected in an Otterbox with tempered flex glass on the screen. When I do trade it in, it will still be in cherry condition.

I’ve got a Supcase on mine. Little sleeker than an Ottorbox but seems as durable. Love the kickstand.

It's time for me to upgrade my 10. I used a 4 until the 10s came out. 6 generations behind is about my pace. lol. Now you need to get your Mac. I'm telling you it will change your life.

I've been Mac-only for probably 30 years.

I watched an interesting reel the other day about the cost of luxuries vs. necessities and how they've flipped over the decads. 30 years ago our necessities (rent, mortgage) were cheap and our luxuries (computers, tv's) were expensive. In 1994, my rent was $400 and my laptop was $4000. Today, rents are $4000 and laptops are $400.
