Sad face :(

It's actually a decent handset tbh. My old Samsung was barely functional except for the camera.

They are. I'm on a shitty oppo so don't mind me lol.

Some of the pics people are getting from the newer iphones are sort of on par w/ mid DSLR cameras which is crazy.

I haven't had an iPhone since 2011 (the good old 3GS!!!).

I did grab an ipad pro from a mate for quite cheap and just using that was really nice and definitely got me thinking about an iPhone instead of an Android again.

Plus now you can sideload apps, here we come YouTube premium hacked app!

Not a bad purchase, sometimes the simplicity of it can be good and they have gotten slightly better with some customisation.

I haven’t had an android phone in ages though.
