Other What iPhone Are You Using

Last iPhone was an SE1.

Went to android after as a change has to be a change. Not iPhone to iPhone or Samsung to Samsung. I had the Huawei P20, dropped it and got a Samsung S8 when the drama unfolded. Missed it so when a slight agreement happened as in refund if one loses google apps i got another P20. Huawei is so much better than Samsung. 20 months of it and...

My daughter got my P20 and i got the SE2. Love it! White. App quality FTW!
 
I’ve been going backwards since the pandemic. iPhone 11 Pro Max. Gave it to my wife. Went iPhone XS Max. Sold that. Now iPhone SE 2020. Too about a week to get use to the form factor but besides the battery. Nothing to complain about after getting it for $250 128gb Walmart deal for att/verizon upgrades.

I’m just waiting on the iPhone 12 pro Max $1400-1500 phone. I just get bored with phones. Gonna to pick up pixel 4A soon when it’s released.
 
Currently i am using iPhone 11, It is a perfect phone or that it has all of the best specs and features you can get.
 
i use an iPhone XS Max and an old iPhone 6S for Pokemon Go and my social media apps like Instagram. It's almost an experiment. I want to try and see what influences what ads i get shown on the iPhone 6S (i have location services turned off besides for Pokemon Go and do not do any web browsing on it).

Thinking about skipping the iPhone 12 as my XS Max still runs smooth AF and at the end of the day i'd just go back using the same Apps. Does not make much sense to upgrade imo

Kudos to you iPhone 6S users. Have to wonder what your battery capacity is. :)

I guesstimate my battery is about 85% now. But let's say 80% if you want to be super conservative.

It was an orginal battery that was eligible to free battery replacement (S/N checked out when Apple released the news), but I never availed myself of the battery replacement for fear of a poor/middling job of them putting it back together again. Plus, the screen protector I put on it when I first got it is perfect-as-can-be and I was loathe to give that up.

I always was sure to run the phone in low-power mode (the 6s was the first model to debut that feature, I believe) which may have prolonged its life.

As it stands, I'm fine staying with this phone for another 2+ years more if necessary. I may buy a new iphone in 2021 or 2022...a lot really depends on if the notch is still there or not.

Same here. I am not competing with people to see who has the newest iPhone. Or chasing new models when they come out.

I have an iPhone, it does what I need to do. When it dies I will buy another.

My wife took her iPad in recently for a battery test. It was fine she just uses it too much. :) Apple doesn't open the devices. Its like for like. This was confirmed before the test. Food for thought?
 
256GB iPhone XS Max

Had it since launch and seriously considering holding onto it for another year!

Never had a phone for 3 years!
 
Will the new iPhone be fully compatible with my 'Garmin' watch?
I don't use the phone for music(not usually)
 
First iPhone after 10 years of Android (HTC, Sony and Samsung)
Currently had my IPhone 11 128gb a few days, Enjoying it so far. The camera is incredibly good, screen if I’m being honest, I can hardly notice the difference. The blacks are more grey, but for a 828p lcd screen it’s very good. Might upgrade to a 12 next year.

11 Pro as my DD and SE2 as work device

Definitely looking forward to Apple hopefully releasing a 5.4" iPhone 12 in the fall as that would be the sweet spot for me.

I think 6.1 is small. 5.4 would be silly To me. Go big or go home 🏠;)

But when it dies, and it’s usually because of the battery, you just have Apple replace it and keep on trucking for another couple years
 
Just upgraded from a 6 to an 8. The 8 is amazing a hell of an upgrade to me. I don’t care about big screens or the latest and greatest. This thing flies in comparison to my 6.

I might still get the 12 because I got this phone for so cheap $200 with AppleCare and in mint condition. So I can always flip it and not lose much
