I still rock an iPhone 12 Pro Max and love it.
- cevn 4y agoSame. No case either, dropped 100s of times. It has some aesthetic cracking on the back :)
- gjsman-1000 4y agoIf you read carefully, Apple's "Ceramic Shield" glass actually only is on the front of the iPhone. The back is just the glass they used before. Which, I find inexplicable after multiple years of Ceramic Shield being available.

- AstixAndBelix 4y agoSaying that you "still rock" something barely 3 years old sounds.... strange. I still rock my 1983 Toyota, sure. I still rock my 20yo HiFi system. But I don't "still rock" my iPhone 11, it was only recently out of production for God's sake!
- RulerOf 4y agoThis made me chuckle. I'm "still rocking" an iPhone 12 because I'm still paying it off. If it were dated and obsolete I'd be angry I threw away my money buying Apple.
- asow92 4y agoPaid off the moment I bought it.
- RulerOf 4y agoAT&T in the US offers "trade in rebates" on phones. You trade in a phone and they rebate your phone bill by $800 or $1000 over a 24 month period when you buy a new phone on an installment loan. It's a 0% loan so I'm not going to throw money away just to avoid paying less money over time.

- AstixAndBelix 4y agoMy mother's iPhone 6 is running iOS 15, which will be supported by all the apps she uses for at least 2-3 more years, bringing the total lifetime of her smartphone close to 10 years. Sure, Apple is pretty draconian when it comes to how much the developers have to keep their tooling up to date, but that's not the same on the consumer side anymore
- asow92 4y agoMany apps support two versions behind as a general rule of thumb, but the bigger the app the further back they tend to support.
- anthomtb 4y agoOne wonders how your end users feel about that.
- asow92 4y agoI’m not sure if I follow.
