Terri, Since I don't feel it necessary to have the latest and greatest,
please try and understand my bias. My personal choice would be for you to
invest in the second generation IPhone S.E. The cost is substantially less
than any of the more modern phones and you would not be sacrificing very
much in terms of optical recognition. Also, you would be able to continue to
use your various charging devices and chords because the S.E. has the
lightning port.

Subject: Just a few upgrade questions, and other comments
Hello everyone,
First of all, I have really appreciated reading the thoughts, and opinions
on the new phones. As well as peoples experiences with them, in the
stores. I always find this sort of stuff helpful.
I am considering upgrading my phone. At first, I wasn't going to do it. I
love my 12 mini. It's smaller, and pretty easy for me to hold. It still
works quite well, and I really don't have any issues with it.
However, I get my phone service with T-Mobile. If I were to upgrade now,
it would be better for me, then if I were to wait another year or so.
Right now, I can trade in this phone, and it will help go toward the cost
of my next phone. I really don't want to have to trade in this phone. But
this is the way I have to go about these sorts of things, if I ever want
to upgrade.
My battery in my phone is degrading. I actually have a service message on
it, that states that I need to replace the battery. So I could do that,
and use this phone for longer. But a part of me thinks that it is just
better to go ahead and do the upgrade instead.
I would be interested to hear what people think about this. I know some of
this will be opinion. That is fine by me.
However, some of you on this list know way much more about these sorts of
things than I do. That is something I have really come to appreciate over
the years. It is a big part as to why I remain a part of this list.
I plan to go to my local store within the next week, or so. I want to hold
the 15 plus, and the 15 pro. I want to explore them, and see which one I
might be most comfortable with.
I was also considering checking out the 14 pro. Just so that I would know
all of my options. I am not interested in the pro, max phones. That would
just be too large of a device for me.
I really like the idea of having a phone that uses USB C charging.
However, what sorts of charging blocks might I need?
I am not sure if I have what I need, to support that type of charging. I
know I at least have one. I usually try to buy dual charging blocks,
because I have so many devices, that this just works better for me. Or, I
have friends that come over, who need to charge their stuff.
I am really looking forward to possibly getting a pro, just for the
camera. I never in my life thought that i would want a phone, for it's
camera.
However, the new feature with Be My Eyes, has been a game changer for me.
I use it quite regularly. At least, once a day. Usually a lot more than
that though. I am still not always the best at taking a picture. I hope
that this might improve in time. I just don't always understand how, or
where to aim the camera.
Are the cameras really all that different from the 12 Mini I have now, to
the 14 pro, or the 15 pro?
I really want to make the best choice possible for myself. But of course,
I won't know really what to expect, until I go to the store.
What do you all think?
Any thoughts, or suggestions are much appreciated.
Thank you,
Terri
