ill do a 14promax i think, but i'm not gonna get 256gb this time. Didn't even start to fill it up on the 13

i have a 512gb iphone 11 and it's such a stupidly large amount of storage i downloaded a 100gb offline copy of wikipedia just to waste it on something

yeah, 128GB is good enough - im at 35GB of 64GB and thats with a ton of photos/videos. icloud is worth it to offload all this poo poo.

i'm just over 128 on my xs and that's with a photo library dragged forward from every iphone and touch i've had, a stack of apps, several audiobooks, and a bunch of music

any effort to space manage would make it plenty storage

the phone pro is quite neat, fancy screen with always on and better chip (so probably better battery life) are all good upgrades

the non-pro phone... only has the satellite stuff thats new right? and the watch only has the body temperature stuff? they talked about it for period tracking but i hope it can also tell if i get covid before its obvious

Got a Watch Ultra, estimated delivery Friday September 23rd.

Conned myself into going that direction instead of a Series 8 by convincing myself that my very large wrist could use the larger watch. Very worried I'm gonna look like the guy with a ton of pristine REI gear.

That said, now I need to figure out what to do about having an Apple Watch with LTE. I've always gotten the non-LTE version because my work pays for my cellular plan and won't pay for adding an Apple Watch to the plan. I'll see if I need to just start paying for my own cell plan again or if there's another solution.

for some reason i thought this was a feature in carplay, but maybe it's contingent on the car manufacturer supporting emergency services calling? i could be getting my car's paired phone behavior confused with ios

or, at least, as a vehicle sensor solution. this being better as individual and not needing to be plugged in or paired in some way is better

my prediction is that the new iphones will be a vertical slider format with a hardware keyboard, I got a good feeling about it this time

I guess they're gonna hold a big feature switch like this to 15, makes sense really

it relies on the physical design of the notch on the pro screen. the actual notch is the oval you see when it's idle, that area is always black and never uncovered. it has more space on either side and a bit of space above it which is worked into the layout of the animated popouts
