I need to go through the house and collect up all the older stuff and return it all to Apple for recycling. A chore for another day I think.<\/p>\n<p>Thus far it\u2019s a nice machine even with the goofy things going on in IOS 17.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not much different than the iPhone 12 Pro size wise. It\u2019s obviously faster, and the camera is much better. Having the battery last is nice!<\/p>\n<p>I haven\u2019t seen enough of the Dynamic Island to know if I like it or not. Apple Music makes use of it while I\u2019m doing something else. The flashlight app displays an icon there, when it\u2019s on.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s about it, I suppose I don\u2019t have any apps that make use of it. Or the way I use apps is different than the \u201cNorm&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" title=\"IMG_2894.png\" src=\"https:\/\/bone-in-the-throat.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_2894.png\" alt=\"IMG 2894\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" border=\"0\" \/>I don\u2019t have that many apps on my phone. Part of that is about security and part of it is about not really seeing anything that I would call mind bogglingly useful given the way I live.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, I wanted the new phone for several reasons. I wanted USB-C on all my devices so I now have &#8220;one cable to rule them all!\u201d I wanted the upgraded cameras, and I like the always on display. I like the \u201cAction Button\u201d better than the little mute switch that I was always flipping accidentally.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m looking forward to Apple getting the OS straightened out and exploring new features.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t going to do this. But with the issues starting at T-Mobile I decided I wanted to get a new phone before making any decisions about switching carriers. The new iPhone is supposed to support 2 phone numbers active at the same time so it makes things easier if I want to try out carriers before committing. (I actually used this feature in the iPhone 12 Pro but it was not as seamless as advertised.) I think that might have been an issue with the IOS version I was using and the newness of eSim. I\u2019ll perhaps do some research and experimentation, I don\u2019t know why I\u2019d need to have two phone lines on my phone, but depending on how my life changes, moving forward it might be useful.<\/p>\n<p>I hated spending the money. But at least this way, If I change carriers all my devices are less than one year old. That\u2019s been a thorn in my side for a while. I tend to have more or less current technology. The other half would use technology until it literally fell apart in his hands.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I bought an iPhone 15 Pro to replace my iPhone 12 Pro.
