Anyone else do the monthly Apple iPhone plan?
-
I looked at Apple care before and decided it’s not a good deal. Usually with a large enough ‘n’ self insurance pays off, at least where there’s no liability risk involved.
These days you can buy insurance on pretty much any non-edible product at Amazon it seems. All the money I save not doing so will easily pay for the one product every few years that breaks out of warrantee.
I’m getting the 17 for Mayla. She has a 15 but it doesn’t have enough storage. I had no idea about the vastness of demand of her instagram feed when I bought it for her.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

My 12 is still going strong and the overnight charge almost always lasts the whole day. I don't use a lot of storage on my phone. Can't see the fixed cost.
But I'm still a bit of a Luddite on technology. If it does what I want done, I'm good. Bells and whistles will not significantly change my life, and so many of them are trying to 'help' me, which is 95% annoying.

Side note, we are going to get a landline. Ugh, guess it's not really the copper connection kind, but VoIP. Anyway, want to teach the kiddos basic phone manners, and also give them a way to call us or a neighbor if they need something and we are away. Of course now that I did a google search about it, I'm getting all sorts of stories about how there's a trend of getting landlines again for kids instead of any form of a smart phone.

The 17 Pro Max lets you go up to 2 TB storage. Hopefully that will tie her over for a bit. Then ...

I would've stayed with the 12, but with the kiddos being young and seeing how great the latest camera (including zoom, video, etc...) is, I wanted to improve the videos I have of the kids, especially with a few trips coming up. That being said, the 12's camera is still fantastic.

Save your money and buy another guitar.

I’ve e been considering taking up the guitar again, maybe buying a good acoustic.

I just bought the 16 Pro Max a few months ago. It figures. Now I have the AirPods Pro 3 and the Apple Watch Ultra 3 bring delivered tomorrow. Apple gave me a credit card and zero percent interest for a year so, I went for it. Looking forward to using the universal translator for our trip to Germany next summer.

What is your budget for said guitar?

No idea. I think it would just be one that I liked the tone and was fairly light action. That would be more important than price.
