The Wide, Wide World of Apple

[Barrister]

Since I rock a government-issued phone I'm kind of stuck on them for phone upgrades.

Yesterday I learned by iPhone 8 plus (which came out in 2017, discontinued in 2020) is not too old to receive the latest iOS version, and thus I'm getting a new phone.

So now I have an iPhone 13 on order. 

Unfortunately back when I got my 8 Plus, the government would allow you to spend your own money to get an upgraded phone (I normally would have just been issued an 8, but paid extra for the 8 Plus).  We've changed providers since then and it is no longer an option.  Too bad - I would have paid for a 13 Pro Max.  At least the 13 looks to be almost the same size as my 8 Plus.
