on the fence about new phone. on the one hand i can dedicate this 13 mini to my sweet small child as an no-sim entertainment camera while the battery is still deece

otoh this year is new ipad (and potentially imac year) and expensive enough as it is. and also i love my 13 mini and don't want bigphone

that sounds like you'd just be buying a new phone to be buying one. don't. nothing bad happens if you use perfectly functional technology that's not quite as shiny and quite as new as what someone else owns

the camera bump is dumb and it is cool and good to make fun of it

it is, however, even dumber to actually care about it more than as a "lol that's silly, welp that's the world we live in". put a case on it, or don't. anyone who cares whether or not their phone sits perfectly level probably needs to calm down a bit, just generally speaking

why even have the level app if your phone doesnt have a flat reference surface that isnt the screen

poo poo i didn't think of that, thats a p good argument tbh

i use the level on my phone (way) more than bubble levels. but the strange world of keeping an old phone charged for leveling purposes seems terrible. i guess i could buy a digital one or something but that also seems non-ideal

camera bump is dumb as poo poo. A phone is effectively as thick as its thickest part, so just make it that thick all over and fill it with battery and have 4 days of talk time.

yes this is the correct take

but whatcha gonna do?

i keep my old SE in the garage and it plays music and acts as a straightedge and level and stuff but i keep forgetting to plug it in after and it has an ancient battery with like 30 minutes of juice in it so eh

ha i have an iphone 6 in the garage plugged in to my stereo. idk how long the battery lasts unplugged, it might literally not work. it has a cracked screen but i put a protector on it and it works ok.

i use this thing from amazon and it works well, the magnet is pretty strong so you have to put a little work into getting it off but it stays put.

bought just for the new clock feature.
