I remember reading a post on one of those TechCrunch or The Verge or Lifehacker sites maybe two weeks ago that gave a cheat sheet on how to tell what type of iOS device you've got by the first letter the IMEI or serial number starts with. I off hand don’t' recall exactly how it went, but I'm

Yup. My iPhone SE can show its age depending on what I want to do, but over all, it holds up favorably compared to my XR. Both on iOS 12.4. I can't think of any compelling reason why anyone would want to stick with iOS 10.X. Maybe there's a particular app or service they don't want to lose, but

None of those issues on my XR either. That said, I bought my phone back in October a week after it came out and the first phone I was given was booty. I had to go back the next day to get another one. So yes, you sometimes can get a lemon instead of an apple. From:

fundamentally like the My Weigh scale but I have quite a time understanding it. I normally am pretty good with this stuff, but the other day she said 9 ounces and I would swear she said one, but I know my food weighed closer to 9. That's pretty bad though. On 6/22/19, Cristobal Muñoz wrote: > If

Indeed. This is the model I have. To be clear, my preference is to have a simple talking scale that doesn’t need to be connected to any device to work, but alas, I’m apparently kryptonite to My Weigh talking scales. The Drop Kitchen scale measures to the tenth of the gram and from what I can

Not necessarily. It’s not like a 5S will just stop working or at least stop working with apps right away. Like with prior iOS upgrades, apps will probably drop support for older OS’s as time goes by and even then, it’ll likely be a while before you begin to notice it to where you’ll feel the
