New-ish meaning anything that has 4G. Today every phone i See is huge and annoying.

    I hate this.

    I just bought a new battery for my 12 mini, I’m not going to upgrade until small phones are back.

    But also this phone still works perfectly, it’s like the day I bought it after the new battery.

        I was at a subaru dealership and they had a mid 2000s Subaru next to a new one

        The old one was awesome, big windows, good storage, small footprint. It was way smaller than the modern one, which is a full on SUV.

      Interesting. I always have heard and had the experience that eventually updates make the phone worse.

        On Apple they were intentionally gimping your phone with updates and they got sued to change that practice. So you were correct to think that.

        That hasn’t been my experience. If the battery health gets below 80% they slow down a lot to conserve battery, which happened to my wife’s phone.

        I think modern iphones are powerful enough that the OS updates don’t use all the power anyways. The only unsupported features are the AI features, and based on the ones on my macbook I don’t really care about.

        I had the original iPhone SE for several generations and it worked perfectly fine.
