    iPhone 16 Pro Max Anyone still using an iPhone 7 Plus?

    It's late in 2024 and I'm still using my iPhone 7 Plus that I bought in 2017. Should I upgrade? Other than possibly better cellular connectivity - I haven't had any reason to upgrade. Considering these phones cost over $1000 (more like $1600 for the storage I'd use) - I would want the...

    (I'm not a computer expert) I broke the display screen of my MacBook Pro 2015 15inch a1398 . I'm not sure if the pixels are broken or the screen as well, but I think both since it fell.
