    Back to the future, bloody phones.

    The battery in my phone died and i have to buy it off aliexpress and will take 2-3 weeks to arrive , the only spare phone in the house that wasnt made last decade is an iphone 4.
    I hate apple with a passion so it hurts to have to use this pile of poo, after all the kids stuff we had to buy for this school year, i'll have to hold out to the battery arrives.
    Daughter's iphone6 is needing its 3rd LCD screen so that's on order as well , at least they are cheap.

    nothing like a philistine complaining about having to use something he hates, that still works after all these years

    i just swapped from an iphone 6s+ to a realme xt 8/128 because i need dual sim due to all the areas around my work zone that have one or the other to varying degrees and i couldn't bring myself to pay $2k for a iphone that could do it, so opted for a $499 option.

    battery life is way better and i am getting 2 days out of a charge where as i just made it through a day with the iphone and it had a replacement battery within the last 12 months

    sadly, android is still utterly hopeless with audio and bluetooth devices like hearing aides etc etc

    android audio works okay but is no where near as polished as apple car play, by a country mile imho

    but the dual sim, with an sdcard slot as well, won out in the end

    the realme is a great little piece of kit so far and the android 10 update is supposed to flow through this week

    Back to the future, bloody phones.

    Why didn’t you look at a Huawei P30 Pro?

    All functions including NFC and an amazing Camera!

    Oops NFC Back to the future, bloody phones.

    I have a couple of fiends running them and they’re most impressed.

    One was a Samsung fan, the other Apple.

    This iPhone will get thrown out the window soon , wanted cc details just to access app store and then wouldn't accept them. At least with Google you can skip that.
