    Wait did they remove the oled from the 11?

    • Noel Dennan

      The 11 never had oled. Only the 11 pro and pro max had with the 11 models.

    Yeah, I’m just going to stick with my iPhone 8. Does everything I need and it runs iOS 15 just fine. Touch ID and no notch. Perfect. 🙂

    Next week I’m buying iPhone 13 mini for its size, if it wasn’t for having an iPad Pro I would have leaned towards iPhone 13 instead.

    the placement of the iphones in this video is just so satisfying. however for people considering the iPhone 12 128GB I’d recommend spending another $50 to get the iPhone 13 128GB instead, same for the mini.

    I have the iPhone SE and running on AT&T, I’ve been getting 5GE speeds off 200Mbps+ which is good enough for me. 🙂

      Trading crypto now would be wise but trading without a professional is really bad I’ma living testimony of expert Sophie Arthur’s strategies and its really impressing

    • Amelia Roy

      December 8, 2021 at 5:12 am

      It is really refreshing to see a comments about Sophie Arthur, I got a chance to benefit from her services a few months ago and it has been a very smooth experience. She helped me gain a profit $25,000 with an initial capital of $5000 and I have benefited more from her

    My iPhone 12 mini battery has depleted to 89% it’s so lame! Besides that I love my phone I’ll probably use the insurance once it’s at 85%

    Only complaint is his mic sounds so blurry or muffled.

    December 8, 2021 at 4:26 pm

    Warning! Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand. Jesus said love not the world or anything in the world.
    Cry out to Jesus to save you because this world is passing away at a alarming rate.
    Jesus has given us more Grace and Mercy with His loving patient but the signs show it is ending.
    So come to Him now before it’s too late. Bless you and praying for you everyday.

    Iphone for everyone! Let me ask you something.
    Does an iphone exists under 500usd that has got at least a decent battery life. The simple answer is NO.

    If you want a phone under 500Usd there are better option in the android market. And if you think you definitely need an iPhone buy a refurbished one, also replace the battery if its really old.

    • LifeIsShørt

      December 11, 2021 at 4:59 pm

      The iPhone XS Max, 8+ and 7+ have decent battery life and they’re under $400

  34. honored seeker

    December 9, 2021 at 9:55 pm
