  • I miss my old iPhone too. I mean, I still have it and use it, but apple took it away.

    My “new” iPhone still has good battery life, but just turning the screen off and back on will force an app reset. The keyboard is janky and borderline useless. The camera app occasionally crashes. Safari doesn’t render all pages correctly or gets hung in a refresh loop. Every app takes up over 400mb now. I get the SOS cell bug. FaceID forces using a pin at least once a day. Weather app is bugged. Volume bugs out sometimes. My AirPod pros hiss like mad (store declined warranty repair). Apps restart multiple times a day.

    Yeah, I miss my old iPhone. The new one (my old one with new iOS) is a dumpster fire. I’m not willing to risk $1200 to find out how much is software sabotage and how much is hardware. My samsung backup phones just get better and better with every release. Thanks for listening.


  • I think iPhone wins here. Not just because of the flip fragility issue. The “long” screen on the flip feels super weird in landscape mode for gaming, and I find the tactile bump of the crease to be distracting.

    That said, the flip has some amazing cases, actually fits in women’s pockets, and just totally has that “squee” factor.
