  1. Never said I had a 5G phone, I just said I live in an area that already has some 5G service, so unlike most people getting a 5G phone would make sense in about a year. Also my engineering hall has a few 5G hotspot for testing that we us in the research areas.
  2. I feel like that doesn't make a lot of sense for me, new phones lose a shit ton of value in there first year (this is true for even iphones, XR is worth like 450 used, so lost 300 dollars in value in 1 year). Maybe ill skip the "1st gen" of 5G but we will see, im one of the few people who could actually use a 5G phone rn, so with in a year it may be good enough for me personally. Obviously I will reevaluate that when that time comes, nevertheless i would want to have a phone that I can give up at that point if i decide I want a 5G phone. Also signing up fo the apple upgrade program makes 0 sense for me, if you read my title "Trying an iPhone for the first time" I am really not the kind of person that wants to be trapped into getting iPhones and spending tons of money. Edit: just looked at the apple upgrade program, which does seem like something that could work for someone looking to upgrade in a year, though it still makes 0 sense for me.
  3. I am thinking about getting an iPhone for the first time, and am looking to see peoples thoughts on which iPhone makes the most sense for me. I want a phone for the next 1-2 years at which point I will probably switch again as 5G will be something that is useful (I live in a city so I should within a few years 5G will be a thing for me). I will probably go for a used one or refurbished one. Size of phones is kinda give and take for me, I like big screens but also like having a phone that is 1 hand-able, so for the most part I lean towards smaller ones because of cost. (Also gaming performance differences? I don't game but riot games is coming out with some mobile games which i will be obligated to play because of how much money I have given to them). Current thoughts: Everything 6s and older is too old and gonna be a bad/"unfair" representation of what an iPhone is. (tell me if you disagree on this) So what are peoples thoughts on 7 vs 8 vs X vs XR vs 11 or other? I really want to get something that is representative of what an iPhone is without spending a lot of money. Other thing: Don't care about notch If the camera takes good pictures, thats good enough I do want something that can game (games like the new league game and the league card game and maybe some of the new nintendo games) Good battery life is a plus, and wireless charging is meh (I never use if even though I have a phone with wireless charging and have a wireless charger)
