Yeah, eventually a replacement will happen but in the mean time I’ll continue playing the “frugal game”. Instead of buying a new phone whenever the latest version is released, for less money I buy two of the previous version. Even if one needs a new battery I’m still way ahead. It’s very reassuring, especially when traveling, to have a cold spare just waiting in case the first one dies.
So far Mlem not working is the only problem I’ve encountered so it’s way to early to consider spending money. The Lemmy web view works just fine.
Occasionally I encounter someone totally into consumerism that can’t understand this, but that’s OK.
I used Mlem, it’s a test flight app, so it’s early in development, but it works fine enough. Crashes often, but that’s the only major issue I have.
Sadly Mlem won’t load (via Test Flight) on my 1st generation iPhone SE. The error says that Mlem requires iOS 16.
Novel idea: update your phone, so that it supports newer apps.
They can’t. iOS16 is not supported on 1st gen iPhone SE.
They mean buy a new phone.
