The difference between the iPhone and other 5G phones I.r.o. 5G, which is very battery greedy, is that the iPhone only uses 5G when it needs to, therefore saving battery. The other 5G’s out there tend to be dedicated 5G, which sucks the battery like a kid with a wimpy chocolate shake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket-Boy Posted October 27, 2020 Share Yeah I have a MacBook Pro, several iPads and iPhones , and DJI items but not one single charger that will take a USB-C cable, so not having a charger in the box would be an issue for me, and what about cars using USB for CarPlay? I guess you have to use another cable for that then [emoji1]I use a QI charger for my phones, been doing so for a few years now so I dont even take the cable out of the box anymore.For CarPlay you would just need to use a lightning to USB-A cable which could be a pain if it isnt included anymore.

DR ◣◢ Posted October 29, 2020 Share Settled on the bare bones model iPhone 11. Took advantage of the discounts from Apple. It's just a phone for me. My 7 is dying on me and this will be a good replacement. As much as I want the latest and greatest I just can justify paying that much for a phone.

DR ◣◢ Posted October 30, 2020 Share Set it up last night. It's a phone. It is faster than my 7. Happy. I do like the slightly smaller size compared to the 7 Plus and obviously the bigger screen. Face ID is much nicer than the fingerprint reader. Frosty, BigDL and Patchelicious 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife upgraded from the 7 to the 11 a few months ago, its a pretty decent upgrade.I always skip a few releases and take a 3 year contract on my phones.Two years is too short for needing a new phone and three years makes the monthly cost more acceptable. gummibear and BigDL 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a few discounts per year on iPhones (and other Apple products) in the U.K. and (I think) Ireland. If someone needs one, PM me and I’ll see if I have any discounts left at the time.
