Typically much cheaper to get insurance through your home policy, I pay around 
$30 or $40 Canadian a year to have my iPhone 11 added as a separate item 
without deductible.
This covers damage,, loss or theft and especially a phone like the iPhone 8 
which you could buy used for $200 or less in my opinion is hardly worth paying 
$120 a year, but everybody has to do what they think is best.

Richard.  The extended apple care is through apple not my carier which is 
Verizon.  What happened was when my apple care expired on June 7 of this year.  
I had paid $200 for the past 2 years.  After it expired, I went to settings 
under my name and under apple care, a message came up.  It said that I had 30 
days from when my apple care expired to pay for apple care if I wanted.  There 
were different options, and I chose the $10 per month option.  I can cancel at 
any time, however, I need to be aware, that if I do cancel that is it, and I 
wouldn't have apple care any more.  I'll pay the $10 per now, but if I get a 
new iPhone, I could either continue to pay for the apple care on my olde 
iPhone, or stop.

My settings keep telling me that the option for Apple Care expires in three 
days - has said that since a month after I got this phone, which was January of 
2020.

[Carolyn]

I hold my phone in my left hand and do gestures with the right, but am 
fortunate enough not to have any problems with my hands. However, I do not 
think I could hold my phone in the same hand that I was using for gestures. I 
don't use Siri all that much.

Diane, I will say, I've tried those wipes, and they're almost impossible for a 
person to do with one hand. Cuz there are some cases where I have to hold the 
phone, in the same hand that I'm doing the gesture with. I don't have that much 
strength in my right hand. So that's why I prefer the phones with the home 
button. And believe me me, I've tried it on my mom's 11.

Josh, is that $10 per month through your carrier? 
Apple Care is only a one year extension on the waranty on a new phone.
Some carriers offer a protection plan that goes longer and costs a lot more 
when you add it up over time.

I vote for that, as long as I don't have a Home Button again. I'd rather not go 
back to that, but if I had to, I guess I could get used to it.

Yeah Carolyn,

I'm kind of in the same mindset,

But it doesn't matter what you do today,

We all know that there will be something better out tomorrow,

But hey,
Face and touch id under screen would be nice.

I kind of want to replace my 11, but hearing that the 14 could offer the choice 
of touch or facial ID makes me a little more patient. Too, by then, I will be 
moved, and it will be easier for my daughter-in-love to take me to phone 
stores, where I might change back to Verizon.

You are such a retail man,

Sell sell sell,

 

But I have to admit,

 

I would like a new phone,

I don’t need a new phone,

As I’ve got an 11 pro max,

 

But I love spending money!

 

If I had the need I’d love to check out your stores stock to see what would be 
useful here in NZ,

 

But my camping days seem to be over and we don’t get the cold temps you guys get

I totally think I t's fine for people to hold on to older phones, but at the 
same time I am not a big advocate for spending money on phones like the iPhone 
6 or even the 7 or 8. Instead of spending $79 for a new battery you could have 
probably sold it for $79 and used the $160 towards a newer phone which supports 
the latest version of iOS. Just my opinion.

I just got a new battery for my iPhone six. I ended up paying $79 for the new 
battery.

Does your phone support 4G?

If so, you probably are fine sitting tight with what you have.

 

If it only supports 3G, then check with your carrier as to when 3G 
support will stop.

 

Otherwise, only upgrade when there are new features you want, or 
because of the battery life, etc.

It is around $50 US to get a new battery in most iPhones…

Hi all. I just am wondering I am running the I phone 8 and now that the

RE: now that the apple event is finnished what about those of us who still are running the older phones? I am running the i phone 8.

Typically much cheaper to get insurance through your home policy, I pay around 
$30 or $40 Canadian a year to have my iPhone 11 added as a separate item 
without deductible.
This covers damage,, loss or theft and especially a phone like the iPhone 8 
which you could buy used for $200 or less in my opinion is hardly worth paying 
$120 a year, but everybody has to do what they think is best.

Richard.  The extended apple care is through apple not my carier which is 
Verizon.  What happened was when my apple care expired on June 7 of this year.  
I had paid $200 for the past 2 years.  After it expired, I went to settings 
under my name and under apple care, a message came up.  It said that I had 30 
days from when my apple care expired to pay for apple care if I wanted.  There 
were different options, and I chose the $10 per month option.  I can cancel at 
any time, however, I need to be aware, that if I do cancel that is it, and I 
wouldn't have apple care any more.  I'll pay the $10 per now, but if I get a 
new iPhone, I could either continue to pay for the apple care on my olde 
iPhone, or stop.

 My  iPhone 8 is doing just fine.  I pay $10 per month for apple 
 care, so when I need a new battery, it won't cost me a thing.  I 
 have had my iPhone 8 for just over 2 years.  I so regret not 
 getting an iPhone 11 pro with 512 gigs of storage when I had the 
 chance.  I will wait for the iPhone 14.  It will give me a chance 
 to keep saving up money so I'll be able to purchase the iPhone 14 
 outright with no contract to worry about.  I'd have plenty of space 
 on my 256 gig iPhone 8, if I hadn't filled it up with audio books.
 If only NLS would let you sync your bard books from one phone to another 
 via iCloud.

Apple assigns the same battery life to the 7, 8 and SE2. The 13 Pro
max has a battery life 137 percent greater than the 7, 8 and SE-2.
This equates to 40 continuous hours of on-device audio playback to 95
for the 13 Pro Max.

[Nimer Jaber]

A lot, lot, lot bigger. Like at least twice the size. But that doesn't
necessarily equate to battery life, as it does have a bigger screen, it
will have higher refresh rate, etc. etc. Still, you will definitely notice
a pretty big boost in battery life. You should ask yourself whether you
want a bigger phone, or can afford the price though. I assume there is a
reason why you got the SE in the first place.

Dude,
I’m glad you cleaned that up,

I was scratching my head thinking what have you been drinking!

But this makes more sense.

Let’s try this again. I sent it out before I got a chance to correct it. Those 
who use the home button really do not need to be afraid of switching over and 
not have the home button. It’s just a matter of sliding up or down to get what 
you need to get to and it has the haptics so you will know where you’re at. 
It’s not bad at all. It isn’t.

My  iPhone 8 is doing just fine.  I pay $10 per month for apple care,
so when I need a new battery, it won't cost me a thing.  I have had my
iPhone 8 for just over 2 years.  I so regret not getting an iPhone 11
pro with 512 gigs of storage when I had the chance.  I will wait for
the iPhone 14.  It will give me a chance to keep saving up money so
I'll be able to purchase the iPhone 14 outright with no contract to
worry about.  I'd have plenty of space on my 256 gig iPhone 8, if I
hadn't filled it up with audio books.  If only NLS would let you sync
your bard books from one phone to another via iCloud.

I totally think I t's fine for people to hold on to older phones, but at the
same time I am not a big advocate for spending money on phones like the
iPhone 6 or even the 7 or 8. Instead of spending $79 for a new battery you
could have probably sold it for $79 and used the $160 towards a newer phone
which supports the latest version of iOS. Just my opinion.

iPhones that need to use some form of 3G coverage are the 5S and earlier. The 
iPhone 6 and later can stay on carrier networks for the foreseeable future.

I have an iPhone 7 and plan to upgrade to the 13. The big reason is that I want 
a Mini and the iPhone 13 will be the last mini. Apple does a lot better with 
hardware after the first generation, which is why I sat out the 12 Mini. If I 
were not eager for a smaller sized phone, I would just replace the battery. 
With the 13, I will get a faster processor and significantly improved 5g as 
well as double the storage for the same price. Battery life is another 
consideration.  The new iPhone 13 mini has a battery life that is 38 percent 
longer than the iPhone 7, 8 or SE second generation. The regular iPhone 13 has 
a battery life that is 89 percent more than the 7, 8 or SE-2.

While Apple is treading water with the iPhone 13, five years of innovation will 
feel like I am entering a new era.

is Verizon.  What happened was when my apple care expired on June 7 of
this year.  I had paid $200 for the past 2 years.  After it expired, I
went to settings under my name and under apple care, a message came
up.  It said that I had 30 days from when my apple care expired to pay

Joseph, I did not realize, for sure, but you have a problem with your hands I 
can understand. I wasn’t certain about what you could do with voice control as 
I have never tried it, but they say that is good. Not sure however. But anyway, 
I did not want to imply that I was telling people what to do and what not to do 
as everybody has a right to their own choice in opinion. I was just expressing 
mine in for those that were afraid to not be. Andy, sorry if you felt that I 
was doing that.

[Diane Giannetti]

I am sorry if I imply that people were afraid,J just in case Those that may be, 
was trying to say not to be. Yes, I told him that everyone has a right to their 
own opinions and I’m not trying to persuade one way or the other. Just 
expressing mine. Sorry if there was confusion about that

Joseph,
You bring up a good point for people who may not have the dexterity to do the 
swipes for home, app switcher, control center, and notification center.

I had the 11 when I was working and hadn’t thought to try the gestures with one 
hand.

If you get to the point where you have no choice, could you hold the phone in 
your left and do the gestures with your right?  The gestures don’t take much 
strength, but they do take control.  If you don’t have the control to do a 
steady swipe, then that will be a definite argument to Apple to keep a home 
button of some kind.

You can, right now, tell Siri, Go to the home screen, and it will.
I suspect there are commands in Voice Control that will do the rest, app 
switcher, control center, and notification switcher.
I hope, for your sake, it doesn’t come to that point.

Richard

Diane, I will say, I've tried those wipes, and they're almost impossible for a 
person to do with one hand. Cuz there are some cases where I have to hold the 
phone, in the same hand that I'm doing the gesture with. I don't have that much 
strength in my right hand. So that's why I prefer the phones with the home 
button. And believe me me, I've tried it on my mom's 11.

  Let’s try this again. I sent it out before I got a chance to correct it. 
Those who use the home button really do not need to be afraid of switching over

I totally think I t's fine for people to hold on to older phones, but 
at the

same time I am not a big advocate for spending money on phones like the

iPhone 6 or even the 7 or 8. Instead of spending $79 for a new battery 
you

could have probably sold it for $79 and used the $160 towards a newer 
phone

which supports the latest version of iOS. Just my opinion.

Let’s try this again. I sent it out before I got a chance to correct it. Those 
who use the home button really do not need to be afraid of switching over and 
not have the home button. It’s just a matter of sliding up or down to get what 
you need to get to and it has the haptics so you will know where you’re at. 
It’s not bad at all. It isn’t.

I know those of us who use the Phone with thePhone with the home button really 
don’t want to get away for me because you’re so used to it and I get it. I 
thought I was going to be that way but once I got a 10 hour, it was simple and 
easy without the home button. Try not to be afraid Jeanette have a home button 
it really isn’t the end of the world.

Muy iPhone 8 works just fine and does what i need it to do.  I like the 
size, and I like the home button. It fits perfectly into a zipper pouch with 
my Aftershokz headset. i wouldn't want anything larger.  If I was to get 
another phone, it would be the SE2020.

My  iPhone 8 is doing just fine.  I pay $10 per month for apple care,
so when I need a new battery, it won't cost me a thing.  I have had my
iPhone 8 for just over 2 years.  I so regret not getting an iPhone 11
pro with 512 gigs of storage when I had the chance.  I will wait for
the iPhone 14.  It will give me a chance to keep saving up money so
I'll be able to purchase the iPhone 14 outright with no contract to
worry about.  I'd have plenty of space on my 256 gig iPhone 8, if I
hadn't filled it up with audio books.  If only NLS would let you sync
your bard books from one phone to another via iCloud.

You are such a retail man,

Sell sell sell,



But I have to admit,



I would like a new phone,

I don’t need a new phone,

As I’ve got an 11 pro max,



But I love spending money!



If I had the need I’d love to check out your stores stock to see what

I totally think I t's fine for people to hold on to older phones, but at

iPhone 6 or even the 7 or 8. Instead of spending $79 for a new battery you
could have probably sold it for $79 and used the $160 towards a newer 
phone

which supports the latest version of iOS. Just my opinion.

Does your phone support 4G?

If so, you probably are fine sitting tight with what you have.



If it only supports 3G, then check with your carrier as to when 3G support
will stop.



Otherwise, only upgrade when there are new features you want, or because 
of

the battery life, etc.

It is around $50 US to get a new battery in most iPhones…

Josh, is that $10 per month through your carrier?
Apple Care is only a one year extension on the waranty on a new phone.
Some carriers offer a protection plan that goes longer and costs a lot more 
when you add it up over time.

Yeah and some of the most well covered countries for cellular connectivity are 
those some would call third world countries in the middle of Africa,

 

Because they took all the old tech from countries like the USA UK 

Etc all that have money to upgrade,

 

And implemented mobile networks at very low cost for the users,

 

But because the technology is older 

They have higher mobile coverage.

It may be coming to an end in our rich countries, but possibly not in many 
other parts of the world. When I was in Thailand in 2013 I often still showed 
Edge as my connection which basically was 2G, granted that is now 8 years ago, 
but in the Philippines you often only get 3G and that is even in places in and 
around Manila, a metro area of over 14 Million people.

No wine yet, just unveiling my ignorance about all the cell network stuff.

I don’t know when 4G was added to the mix and just know that 3G is coming very 
close to its end.

Thanks,

Richard, have you already started in on the wine? Of course the iPhone 8 
supports 4G/LTE. Even my first iPhone 4 in 2010 supported LTE at least I am 
almost sure and definitely the 4S did in 2011. And it will be a very long time 
before 4G/LTE gives way to 5G by which I mean it will be a long time until only 
5G is available although I have a feeling that maybe 4G will hang on for a 
shorter time than 3G has been hanging on at least here in North America, Europe 
and countries like Australia and New Zealand. Once 5G really kicks off and is 
available nation wide there will be no going back. But for now even that is not 
of much concern where Mich lives which is in northern Ontario if I am not 
mistaken, I am in Northern British Columbia and while 5G may be available in 
Vancouver, Toronto and other large cities, it sure is nowhere in sight yet here.

I would check the issue of 3G going away.

Does your phone support 4G?

If so, you probably are fine sitting tight with what you have.

 

If it only supports 3G, then check with your carrier as to when 3G support will 
stop.

 

Otherwise, only upgrade when there are new features you want, or because of the 
battery life, etc.

It is around $50 US to get a new battery in most iPhones…

I think 3G dies in February, at least here in the US.

No wine yet, just unveiling my ignorance about all the cell network stuff.

I don’t know when 4G was added to the mix and just know that 3G is coming very 
close to its end.

You are such a retail man,
Sell sell sell,

But I have to admit,

I would like a new phone,
I don’t need a new phone,
As I’ve got an 11 pro max,

But I love spending money!

If I had the need I’d love to check out your stores stock to see what would be 
useful here in NZ,

But my camping days seem to be over and we don’t get the cold temps you guys get

I totally think I t's fine for people to hold on to older phones, but at the 
same time I am not a big advocate for spending money on phones like the iPhone 
6 or even the 7 or 8. Instead of spending $79 for a new battery you could have 
probably sold it for $79 and used the $160 towards a newer phone which supports 
the latest version of iOS. Just my opinion.

Yeah and some of the most well covered countries for cellular connectivity are 
those some would call third world countries in the middle of Africa,

Because they took all the old tech from countries like the USA UK
Etc all that have money to upgrade,

And implemented mobile networks at very low cost for the users,

But because the technology is older
They have higher mobile coverage.

It may be coming to an end in our rich countries, but possibly not in many

Edge as my connection which basically was 2G, granted that is now 8 years ago,

RE: now that the apple event is finnished what about those of us who still are running the older phones? I am running the i phone 8.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I totally think I t's fine for people to hold on to older phones, but at the 
same time I am not a big advocate for spending money on phones like the iPhone 
6 or even the 7 or 8. Instead of spending $79 for a new battery you could have 
probably sold it for $79 and used the $160 towards a newer phone which supports 
the latest version of iOS. Just my opinion.

I just got a new battery for my iPhone six. I ended up paying $79 for the new 
battery.

Does your phone support 4G?
If so, you probably are fine sitting tight with what you have.

If it only supports 3G, then check with your carrier as to when 3G support will 
stop.

Otherwise, only upgrade when there are new features you want, or because of the 
battery life, etc.
It is around $50 US to get a new battery in most iPhones…

the us carriers wouldn’t really apply to my situation. I got this phone back in 
2019 and we are now in 2021. From Mich Verrier from New Liskeard Ontario Canada.

RE: now that the apple event is finnished what about those of us who still are running the older phones? I am running the i phone 8.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Richard, have you already started in on the wine? Of course the iPhone 8 
supports 4G/LTE. Even my first iPhone 4 in 2010 supported LTE at least I am 
almost sure and definitely the 4S did in 2011. And it will be a very long time 
before 4G/LTE gives way to 5G by which I mean it will be a long time until only 
5G is available although I have a feeling that maybe 4G will hang on for a 
shorter time than 3G has been hanging on at least here in North America, Europe 
and countries like Australia and New Zealand. Once 5G really kicks off and is 
available nation wide there will be no going back. But for now even that is not 
of much concern where Mich lives which is in northern Ontario if I am not 
mistaken, I am in Northern British Columbia and while 5G may be available in 
Vancouver, Toronto and other large cities, it sure is nowhere in sight yet here.

[Sieghard Weitzel]

If your phone is running good, the battery still holds up and it does all you 
want it to do then why spend the money, there are already rumours for a much 
larger jump/upgrade next year, possibly the iPhone 14 will have both Touch Id 
and Face Id options for unlocking/authentication and I think you are better off 
saving for that than to possibly buy an iPhone 11 or 12 now because they are 
going to be a better deal and even if you buy an iPhone 13 or 13 Mini then 
maybe you'll kick yourself next year. iPhones are mature products and have been 
for years, there is little which is "revolutionary" any more and unless you 
have money to burn and it makes financially no difference to you if you spend 
$1,000 or $1,200 Canadian each year on a new phone then there is nothing wrong 
to keep a phone for more years. A friend of mine in Germany who could easily 
afford to buy the latest Pro phone just recently gave up his old 5S because it 
really was bad with battery only lasting half a day etc. But did he go out and 
buy an iPhone 12 Pro? No, he bought a used iPhone 8 which ended up having 
issues as well so now he bought an iPhone 12 Mini for his sighted wife who had 
an SE 2020 before and he now uses her SE 2020 because he says it's fast, the 
battery is good and it does all he wants it to do.

I would check the issue of 3G going away.
Does your phone support 4G?
If so, you probably are fine sitting tight with what you have.

If it only supports 3G, then check with your carrier as to when 3G support will
