For the money, Apple can kiss my ass. How many features do you really need? What superficial horse shit!

I'm still on an iPhone 6s, but support ends after this year and (no more security updates), so I'll eventually move to something else. I thought my next phone would be an Android, but my wife got one a year ago and it's been a big PITA, especially when Google Play Music went away, and when trying to connect it to generic smart devices at home (Roku TV, smart audio receiver, etc.) so I'll probably stick with the iPhone- it just works and has broad support with other devices.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I really like my 6S because its slim, good enough screen size and has rounded corners and nicely fits in your pocket. I don't have any extra case, just bare phone. The battery died a while back and I ordered a replacement one for $20 on Amazon, watched the Youtube video and successfully replaced it. I have been enjoying a second life out of it. Very simple, super friendly interface. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Now you are telling me they will not support it anymore! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) I will have to give it up! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) This is perfectly well functioning phone!!! I guess my option would be the new SE which has the same dimension as my 6S but a little thicker... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I don't like spending on this type of gadget, I prefer putting that money towards my 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif) So the cheapest iPhone will be my option, not going to cross the fence to Android though... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) As for wallet, key, etc... Simple: Each car of the fleet has it's key/fob on a ring with one key of the house front door. The older the car, the smaller is the key set. Whatever car you take, you can get back in the house. Wallet; Small folded card size with the bare minimum, DL, CC, Health insurance, AAA, done! |

Lack of support doesn't mean it's done. "Question: What does unsupported mean no more security updates, no more OS compatibility for the future. its probably ok currently as long as you use common sense. Even the current computers with current systems can be compromised using a lack of common sense. Jan 19, 2019 2:26 AM.Jan 19, 2019" |

They don't work at all anymore. It's not the phone, it is the network. AT&T removed the wireless networks that they use. 2G is gone as of 2017, so the original Iphone doesn't work anymore. 3G will be going away next year (2022). Those of you on those old 3G phones better start planning for a new phone. Clay |
