i "downgraded" to an iPhone 16e.

i’ve learned:
- always-on screen is dumb
- dynamic island is dumb
- camera button is dumb
- new modem is great
- one camera is fine
- magsafe is dumb
- titanium is dumb
- battery is great
- 60hz is fine

I downgraded to the Razr. Flip phone with small screen for quick things - don't need a massive blue light in my face to answer a message. Half the size in my pocket. Incredible voice quality youd expect from Motorola.

IMO MagSafe is cool with the charger stand

I just play Picture in Picture in this nostr , while listening to no good music and still able to zap , reading articles and comment with music background . Funtastic 🔥🔥🔥 this nostr . Regardless what your phone . MagSafe is dumb , I agreed .

You can turn off "always-on". I do like it most of the time, especially when the phone sits on the other side of the room and occasionally walk by to see if there's any notifications (silent mode). But there are situations where's either distracting or outright bad privacy (people sitting next to ...

Agree to most of that list, although I do use the UW camera on my 14 pro. I also use magsafe a lot in the car. All this to be said that I'll unlikely be upgrading to the iPhone 17 anytime soon.

I'm still on the iPhone 12 Pro, and I'll keep it until it dies.

What I do with my smartphone really hasn’t changed much from 2012.. sure better speed etc. I still use a Touch ID phone.

I rarely use wireless charging, but magsafe isn’t dumb if you use the GPS while driving. Then, it becomes an easy way to attach your phone to the dashboard.

I love 120hz and MagSafe. Otherwise agree on everything else.

did you say good morning to your phone and show it your breakfast and chat with it - *stares over my glasses rim at you*.... https://x.com/the_valley33003/status/1606382271828701185?s=46

My brother just asked me about an Apple price and telco contract pricing discrepancy for this phone out of the blue, he wanted to garner my retail knowledge :) And he really loves to extend his technology life, so I was surprised, as you mentioned it here too. I asked him why he was thinking about ...
