The original battery in my lowly LG Android lasted 5 years, then I bought a new one on Amazon for $12 and swapped it out in literally 1 minute. That's one thing I like about my phone, you can swap the battery in no time.
What are you doing right now?

True. These new generation of iPhone now have a removable back to make it easier to repair. I’m happy about that. I think that and the USB-C are part of what Europe was requiring for new phones as of next year so Apple went ahead and did it. Glad they are starting to be friendly to the repair people again.
Kim Komando weighed in on the Apple announcements. With hundreds of thousands of followers and a long history of tech expertise she is definitely one of the experts to listen to. Her take: "Listen, the iPhone 15 is a slick device. The specs are impressive — especially on the Pro and Pro Max — but there's no good reason to upgrade if you're using a 12 or newer. Get your money's worth." (Bold added for those with thicker skulls)

What good is an iPhone 15 if you can't even talk on it???
I have a 14. If doesn’t make it to 20 then I will consider it a ripoff and think on my choices then. It’s a kid thing, a sign of immaturity to burn for an instrument or device of any type.

I just woke up in a Juneau B and B 1 hour behind west coast time and hungry. Wife is snoring.
Just drove a couple miles down the road
Like a big gold eye tooth you say? But yes, you are correct. Hopefully they can grow up and mature beyond that point sooner rather than later.The cell phone is a status symbol for some, like a big gold metal around the neck.

Just set up my preorder so now just have to press a button on Friday at 8am. Have the reminder set in my phone too. Getting a Titanium Blue iPhone 15 Pro 256GB. As well as a USB-C to Lightning adapter. Might add some other odds and ins too. Was hoping they had the colored cables available already. Total will be about $1,129 with tax which is $53. Slow day at work today so lots of time to look at videos of the colors and everything I asked my coworkers which one they liked better natural or blue and majority said blue so blue goes. Case and screen protector and camera protector already on the way. All I have to do Friday is hit the order button as all my information is already entered. Paying it all up front. I’ve had lots of people on both forums say I don’t need it. I respect them but I am buying it. It’s worth every penny except the USB-C. I don’t see it as a status symbol I’ve just never had good luck with Android so I’m bias against them. There is an old guy at the shop who is buying the 15 as his first smartphone so he wants me to help him with it which I’m excited about.
IMO you can get the new phone feeling by just doing a fresh restore of iOS, especially when iOS 17 is supposed to introduce a bunch of new features.
The iPhone 15 will be a big upgrade for some since iOS 17 drops support for iPhone 8 and X phones.

Thinking what to text back to an EX GF from years ago. Haven’t heard from her in years and she texted me her Trailblazer needs towed to a shop and was told it needs a ball joint. And she can pay me back on payday. I might block her number and not text anything back.
Blocking # and refraining from texting. There's more than a slim chance of that being a good idea.
Submitted a repurchase demand for an borrower who bought two primary residences at the same time.
Just received this information in one of my morning briefings. Have to seriously rethink any future Apple purchases.
Apple is set to host specialized entrepreneur training camps that bars applicants based on their race and sex.
Men and white people need not apply. Don't care to support that sort of policy.
