I ordered an upgraded phone.<br /><br />I'm an iPhone user and I tend to skip a few generations at a time as I've never really been the type to Always Need The New Hotness when it comes to stuff like this. Phones last a while, after all. <br /><br />I currently have an iPhone 11, and the only reason I got that one was because the 7 I had before ended up being, back in 2019, the first phone I actually damaged when I realized I didn't know where I'd put it, went around looking for it, came back to my desk to double check if I had just stuck it in a strange corner I don't normally use, sat... and heard a crunch. It had somehow fallen and ended up under a leg of my desk chair. Ooops.<br /><br />So the 14 lineup was revealed and I was intrigued but dithered a bit. Then I realized that I should probably upgrade when the trade-in value for my current phone's still decent enough, so I pulled the trigger. Of course, the one I wanted (14 Pro, 256gig)... was not currently available at any Apple Store in town and I wasn't desperate enough to drive to California for pickup. :P Therefore, I've got an order placed and it'll be arriving near the end of the month. So hey, something to look forward to!<br /><br />Speaking of upgrades, no way I could fit this story into 280 characters. Suck it, Elon.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dizmo&ditemid=295925" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://dizmo.dreamwidth.org/295925.html technology rl iphone public 2
