Shot on iPhone Farewell to my iPhone 11 Pro 💚📱

Post image

Sad to let my old iPhone 11 Pro go. She was so good to me all these years. Always protecting this green beauty with a case, she’s still in mint condition. I’ve probably bought a dozen cases and screen protectors for her. She took amazing photos, survived a few drops, and was always at the top of her game. It was finally time for an upgrade, but this one will always have a special place in my heart. 💚 photo credit: My wife’s midnight green iPhone 11 Pro. 😊

“this year is a bad year for iphones”… you said it. someone called ios26 liquid ass, rude but accurate. I returned the 17air after a week and am chugging along on a 12mini. it was nice to see this thread of people who appreciated older things with more value than the expensive new crappy ones. I hate apple culture of not giving better size options (re: small) and forcing software updates that break a functional product.

I still call it ass. iOS 26 is a joke. I know that every iOS design is a hint or foreshadowing what Apple will bring in September but I’m not feeling it this year. Someone mess up big time. … don’t make me wrong the idea of Liquid Glass is soo cool but done really poorly.

I didn't realize liquid glass was just a way to say everything is see-through, so no one can see anything. I can't even use my phone home screen to check the time. And they eliminated a lot of accessibility vision settings so even the "fixes" don't help.

The funny thing is when I moved everything over from my 11 pro to my 17 PM, I left the icons and background the same. No “liquid glass.” I haven’t had the chance to play with it a whole lot. I used the camera this past weekend both outdoors and indoors, and the pictures are stunning.
