• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Just ordered an IPhone 13 Max. AMA

I have had my old phone for 3 phone (IPhone XR) and was not planning to up grade. For some reason it won’t connect to 4g or 3g, so I was looking to take it Verizon for service.
I realized I could get an 800 dollar credit so the phone would cost me 200 to buy, or 8 bucks a month (I’m a MB Poor) for 34 months so I pulled the trigger.

I went with the pro because for 8 bucks a month (the regular would be free) it has a stronger case. It is back ordered until the 27th.

I glad I went ahead and got a phone this year because there is no telling what will happen in the world of electronics in the next few months because of China.

TLDR

I’m a MB Poor and am going to pay 8 bucks a month for a new
iPhone.

Ugh....neither do they. That's why they attended FSU (everyone knows that). We had a local saying in High School that went. If you cant get into UGA, you go to Auburn, and if you cant get into Auburn you go to Ole Miss.

Well if you cant get into the local community college......you go to FSU.

Did the same but am giving up my Samsung (I'm not an apple lover. I've always been an android girl. Had the iPhone 4 for a whopping 3 months before I went back to android)

The biggest reason (other than the cost)? I have a husband and one of my children who can't figure out settings to include me on our family text stream. Fine. I'll come to them.

I'm not thrilled, but whatever. It's a phone. If I'm not locked into Apple world, I'll deal.

Did you have to trade your old phone in?
 
From what I’ve read it’s a longer battery life, better camera (who cares), a faster refresh rate.

What does the faster refresh rate mean? Clearer picture if you are watching a movie or something?

So they say. Really all I care about is the extra battery life and the stronger case
