Muy iPhone 8 works just fine and does what i need it to do. I like thesize, and I like the home button. It fits perfectly into a zipper pouch withmy Aftershokz headset. i wouldn't want anything larger. If I was to getanother 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.

Yeah Carolyn,

I'm kind of in the same mindset,

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 whatwould

be useful here in NZ,

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

get

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

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 newerphone

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.

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 becauseof

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

apple event is over what about those of us who are running older phoneslike

that? I have been thinking of upgrading for a while but am not shure witch

phone I should upgrade to? Since beaing that I am blind I don’t reallycair

that much about the camra and stuff except when it comes to doing things
like ocr and stuff I just was wondering the groups thoughts? My phone is

still running good and vo is still working as it should I just waswonderingabout the groups thoughts. Btw I am in Ontario Canada if that helps sosomeof the things like 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
