Isa's Homestead Happenings and Hangout

Nah he did it for free but he specifically said it was a common issue with the iPhones. Hence my hesitation lol maybe it’s just the newer iPhones? Idk.

I didn’t even have a laptop until recently lol or rather, I used to but it’s been a long time. But I still need to set my new one up. I’ve been worried it was going to be difficult lol

Also he said all the newest iPhones don’t even have a physical SIM. They got rid of it and it’s all eSIMs which are supposedly better. But that worries me because does that mean you have to replace the whole phone now if it doesn’t work? Or is there a way to get a new eSIM? I guess there must be a way because he tried an eSIM with mine. It didn’t work though.

The camera on the newest iPhones is AMAZING too. He showed us a picture he took.

I don't think it is a common issue with all iphones. I have never had a Sim card problem with any iphone. Maybe it is certain models. My kids have not had a problem with any of them either, and I get them the more expensive ones. And, you know, I don't know that my SE even has the traditional Sim card. I don't think it does. I know it doesn't have a normal slot that you could just change it like the old ones. Heck, as far as that goes, I don't know if any iphones I have owned have had that like the Androids do.

Idk, nothing is going to be perfect, and people have what they feel work for them. Like I said I would never own an Apple IPad or a MacBook. One of the things I do is System Administrator and everything I put on the network will be PC. We have a few Docs that want to use a MacBook and I let them, but they have to buy their own. I ask them why, and they claim they are better and less problems and easier to troubleshoot.. So, I ask them if they are so easy to troubleshoot, then, why do they have to bring them to me so much to straighten them out for them. I tell them I think you are just paying extra money for a name. Most have bought into that, but a few believe what they believe. It is their money.

Plus, I know a metriccentric Canadian that I am pretty sure uses a Droid and her brain has to be in a state of perpetual freeze from the snow and cold. Not to mention time spent on top of the chicken coop hoping that someone comes by on a snowmobile or something that can help get her down. So, not really a good endorsement.

Yeah, I think it might just be the newer models or perhaps the new operating system updates because I have had this phone a little while now and never ever had an issue until like a month or two ago lol so idk if it’s the phone itself or an error with the OS or what but yeah. He had an issue with his phone too he said and his is the 15.

And oh wow that’s so interesting!!!

I have an interview for a new job at 4pm, and I do not know why I am so damn nervous. I am people-y, and I know this employer, so why am I more afraid of this interview than I have ever been at any other?

I wouldn't have any of Apple's other products like a tablet or laptop because a PC is as good or better but cheaper and more widely used. However, the phones are head and shoulders above Android. Anything Android is subpar, not just phones. Iphones are much better and you don't have to pay a lot for it to be. You can get a good one as cheap or cheaper than an Android. And, like a PC is more widely used.

The one bad Iphone model was the Iphone 6. Now, the 6s was good, but the 6 would warp just a little usually from putting it in your back pocket, and it would mess up your motherboard. You couldn't tell it from looking at it. You would know when the screen started acting up. The 6S wouldn't do it, because the S meant it had a steel frame. The 6 cost less than the 6S, but was not worth the savings.

Like I said, people like what they like. I hate Apple anything, think they are way too overpriced and have barely any memory. So, I'll stick with Android, never had issue with it. You can get any brand phone you want, Samsung, Moto, whatever. I think it's a brand loyalty thing. And you're right, I'll never own an Apple to compare so maybe that makes my opinon invalid. I don't really care

How much memory does the Android have? Genuine question because I have never once run out of space with my iPhone but I’ve had friends run out of space with their Samsungs. So idk if maybe they’ve changed it and included more space now???? Apple allows you to put things in the “Cloud” too so you’re not taking up as much space.

It depends on what you buy. But you can always get a memory card for expandable storage. I don't think that's possible with iphone. My phone has 128 gb plus whatever my memory card has, I don't remember. I have over 75gb left to use on my phone, so I'll never run out, that's a lot. And I would never trust a Cloud or other outside memory and I most def would never pay for it

Ahh okay that makes sense! Having a memory card is definitely nice! Mine has 256 so I also will never run out. I’m only using like 70 or 72 gb. I checked just now. And the Cloud is free until you get over a certain number of gb and then it’s like $1 or $2. I went over so I pay. Also I think phones with more gb cost way more so it probably would be cheaper and easier to just be able to buy a memory card. But then those can break.

Idk. There’s pros and cons to both.
