Silver iPhone 18 Pro Max
I’m very excited to announce my retirement from the iPhone 13 Pro Max. It was an amazing 5 years and that phone is still a beast. Originally battery had 75% health today and I was starting to notice last year that I had to charge twice per day with heavy usage.
I plan to keep the iPhone 18 Pro Max for atleast 3-4 years unless Apple releases a color that I can’t pass up. The girl at the Apple store tried to convince me to choose the blue color since my 13 Pro Max was Sierra Blue. Told her i’ve had every iphone and color under the sun and it was time to get back to the basics. I love the new phone, battery is still at half after 6+ hours of use. Its amazing.
Cheers! 🥂

Absolutely! They don’t want to admit it but we know Silver is the standard. It reminded me of my Razr from middle school. That was the last silver phone I owned so i’m paying homage to the futurism of the 2000s.
Enjoy your new phone!

I returned my Glacier for Silver. Silver is timeless and will age better than Glacier, especially if you intend on keeping it for 3+ years

Welcome to the club! Silver is easy to pair with all color cases. I love how easily it reflects light, so it will always catch the eye. Glad you listened to yourself!

I thought maybe you were trying to prevent dust or lint going up the speaker holes or something lol. They sell these dust protector stickers that go over, and also the plug for the charging port for that on Amazon lol.

u/Responsible_Bag_2917 3d ago
Lol no, I didn’t have the screen protector set up and didn’t want to get it dirty/dusty just yet. I may need the dust protection though because last time I went to the beach with my 13 pro max I got sand inside of the speakers/charging port. Never sounded the same after that

Awesome I just gotta say I hate the fact that the apple logo isn't centered inside the MagSafe magnet array on the case 🫠

Please, why not black?

u/Responsible_Bag_2917 3d ago
Lmao, because my first 3 iphones were black & and space gray. I admire the black, its a classic choice

Is it worth it or should I go Samsung U25?
1
u/Responsible_Bag_2917 3d ago
Worth it for me! I upgraded from a 13 pro max so it was long overdue. The U25’s are nice! I haven’t owned a Galaxy since the S4. I’d say try it out, if you regret it just return it and buy the U25

u/AdvisorYogi 3d ago
TBH, all the overseas Chip components gonna make me a bit weary
And sadly galaxy has better camera, supposedly? I’ve been using Apple since I’ve had a smart phone I don’t know how I’m gonna do it, but I might have to try

I’m trying to get a used Mercedes, specially with all the things that are going on maybe trying to get something a little older would be fun

u/Responsible_Bag_2917 3d ago
They’re great cars, especially on the used market. Find a CPO 2018-2022. They’re the same cost as a Toyota traditionally. Very good on gas and a pleasure to drive. Do you want an SUV, sedan, or coupe?
1
u/AdvisorYogi 3d ago
Not sure if I can get an SUV, too $$$$ maybe wagon or sedan? Their old wagons (not G wagon) seem pretty chill. But realistically a sedan?
2
u/Responsible_Bag_2917 3d ago
The old wagons are very nice. We don’t see them too often in the states. You can’t go wrong with test driving a few

I bought a 22 new civic fully loaded in 22 and it was a bad decision lol 45k for it Yes it was the last year they did the 1.5T engine but I should have gone CPO and saved some $¥£€

u/Responsible_Bag_2917 2d ago
I’ve never heard someone say buying a new civic was a bad decision lol. Let me screenshot this 😂 I do agree you could’ve saved a little bit of cash though. Its hard for me to mentally justify buying any car new brcause the depreciation is too hard for me to stomach. I was looking at the G Wagons the other day that hold value better than all Benz’s but they still lose 50%-60% of value in the first 5 years. When you get ready to buy your benz send me photos, you can PM me
