RE: Online Shopping Madness? (Short Story - Chapter 2)

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I will usually buy a flagship phone with the expectation that I will need a new one in about 6-7 years at least (which the iPhones have been really good for so far, the one I have semi-retired is the XR which I think was in its final run before being superseded by whatever came next when I got it). I don't know how long my current one is going to go for, it is modular but it got discontinued last month (of course it did -_-) but parts are apparently going to be available for another two years and I am pretty sure the batteries they use are the same as for another of their phones which is still in production.

Good luck picking a phone XD

Well same is with me.
I haven't tried the iPhone yet, pretty happy with the Androids and samsung and other brands like Mi provides a good phone within the budget. My phone usually lasts 4-5years. But I really miss the older robust Nokia Bricks. 🤣🤣🤣
They were built to withstand our frustrations and outburst. LOL!!!

I wish I liked Android but I hate it more than iOS x_x

I think they were also from an era that was built to last rather than the pure crap that's around these days.

Nice :D we seem to have terrible luck with Samsungs. My son had a Samsung tablet and I had a flagship Samsung phone some years back and both of them had massive battery drain issues (and I think there was another problem with my phone but can't recall what now) which quickly killed my desire for getting a Note (which looked like a very cool piece of kit) and my partner currently has two Samsung monitors which have developed hotspots (they don't seem to be in the way enough to bother him to try to fix it, whereas I would have been trying to fix them the second they appeared and would have bought new non-Samsung monitors by now had they been mine XD).

And meanwhile both my parents have consistently used Samsung phones over the past few years with very little problems as far as I'm aware.
