I had to buy a new IPhone this morning, Ugh! My other one blitze

mm4731 :
You say that now ! I barely remember my families voices as they prefer to text only !

ILoveCookies :
Yes I agree about the battery. I have to charge my phone every day. When I get home from school it's less than 10% charged.

mm4731: It will never happen. 😂

ILoveReading : I had to replace my iPhone 6 when I could no longer download necessary apps that were needed. I call this planned obsolescence.

newgranny2020 :
That is another issue I just started to experience. I couldn't update the Costco app because my phone doesn't have the IOS needed. Like really?

Kemibe : Could be worse. You could be an android user.😆

Kemibe: Oh yeah, you can spend some money when you upgrade…I got an iPhone 14 and I like it!

Jellybeaner : I'm getting used to it but it's much bigger than the one I'm accustomed to. It's nice but I wasn't planning on having to upgrade. I've been paying off bills and didn't plan to obtain a new one. I'm still trying to get used to it.

A few monthsago I upgraded from an iPhone 8 to a 14. T-mobile at Costco had a great deal. We switched from Verizon to T-mobile, saved on monthly fees, got a free iPhone, and have had no problems with T-mobile.

For real ease a very good smart phone is the Jitterbug Lively Smartphone 4 from Best Buy. Hubs has it and it is so easy and has a very large screen. Talk, text and data for internet. He loves it and it is great for just talking, texting, but you can do email and surfing the net.

Kittle :
Good to know. Is 14 the latest model? That shows how much I know. I'm with AT&T right now.

I have spent months dealing with my phone. Misplaced my password book and Apple is so hard to get help from. Don't ever lose your Apple password because you can never reset it no matter what Apple tells you what you have to do. Taking it in to get a new phone today. Everything will be wiped out but I'm so over trying to deal with those people. Very frustrating.

Weathergirl5 :
The latest model is the 15. That is what I got when I replaced my 8. I wanted to get that one so I would have it for years. I had problems getting use to it.

Donnawisdom :
Thank you. I can't believe they're already out with 15! My how time flies.

Kemibe ZMAN :
I know it is frustrating, but you can't be with out it. Sounds like you got your moneys worth out of it. I know new phones are expensive, but I look at them differently than most people. With all of the things they do now days which make life easier and more efficient, I think it is money well spent, plus they usually last several years.
