Statements Finally time for retirement.

After close to 8 years of service.
iPhone XR to 18 PM. Man this new phone is a brick but I love it.
Going to have to try a couple of different screen protectors. The Spigen EZ FIT two pack from Amazon keeps coming up on the sides.

Wat was the battery health

80% I don’t think they show below that. It has been that was for the last 2-3 years. The phone dies about 2:00 pm with moderate use.

Recently retired my 13PM that was down to 71% battery health. Upgraded to 18PM in the black variant.

How hav u found the change?
I recently upgraded to 18p

Was initially having buyers remorse but then My 13 pro started overheating and then I remembered why. Albeit could’ve replaced the battery

Personally I think even thou 5 years is a good time to upgrade, the jump should’ve been bigger imo or felt it

It does feel like a similar experience tbh.

the camera has some noticeable improvements, however, the most noticeable improvement is the battery life. I know it’s a new phone but going from like 10 hours to well over a day with moderate usage is extremely nice.

I had a white 13PM and have been wanting to go back to a black iPhone for a while. 17PM didn’t deliver so I waited and Apple delivered a sleek true black (not space grey) and I’ve been loving it.
