    Do newer iPhones use more data than older ones?

    This might be kind of a dumb question, but since switching from a 1st Gen SE to a 16e it seems that I'm using data a lot faster than before. Is this to be expected with a new phone with a newer OS (in this case, going from 15.8 on the old one to 26.5 on the 16e)? Except for using the free...

    iPhone 13 Pro iPhone 13 Pro battery is amazing

    iPhone 12 Pro Sim and new phone

    I am getting the 12 pro soon, and wanted to know about the sim card. I have with Verizon their plan and an 8Plus I am upgrading from. Do I transfer the sim card before or after the quick setup from the old phone? I can't seem to find anything on when to do it.

    To make a long story short, I am getting the iPhone 12 Pro (upgrading from 8Plus), and wanted to know if I needed to re pair each of the airtags with my new phone or when I transfer via the quick set, the settings transfer over?

    New iPhone - Best practices?

    I’m going to buy an Iphone SE and am wondering about the best practices in regard to a new device battery. I know they come half charged. Is it best to use up he first charge all the way to 0% ? And after that a full charge from 0-100% ? Or doesn’t it make a difference anymore these days...
