Again, not true. If OP were near me, I can do a battery replacement on iPhone 13 and older models for $50. The part costs me $26 and it takes me about 40 minutes labor, so I’m doing it for a very reasonable price and providing a service at a cost that barely keeps me operating. There are plenty of shops like mine. Key word i said was “reputable” shop.
You are quite opinionated but uneducated on the subject.
13 Pro max - 14 pro max doesn’t come in that color.
Terrible advice. A reputable repair shop is perfectly safe and wise rather than paying a premium at Apple or buying a new device for no reason.
Dynamic Island and 5x optical zoom are about the only differences you’ll notice. Keep your 13 pro max, its an excellent device still.
You have much bigger problems in life if that button drives you insane…
Ignore the foolish comments. Step one in your situation, since you can track it on Find My, is to call the police and work with them to track it down and recover it. If that fails, AppleCare+ and report it as theft/stolen.
If you live in the USA, you can get a brand new iPhone 11 from straight talk for $199, buy one month of service for $45, let the month expire without renewing, and after 61 days from activation it will be unlocked and available to use in any carrier.
Literally copied my post. lol.
There are options such as using the screen time /parental control feature in iOS, but it has flaws… there are ways to tap links in areas of apps such as an FAQ section that can allow access to the internet even if safari is timed out or blocked.
Get them a dumb phone for calls only? Only allow smartphone use when supervised?
How is this difficult….
The 11pro is six months older than your SE2020 and has the same A13 chip. Not an upgrade at all.
Considering your explanation, I would get the SE2022. It is a huge upgrade in the chip dept, that A15 will last well into 2027 with full software updates, and beyond with security updates. Everything you’re used to, but with a much improved processor, 10% larger battery by default coupled with a more efficient processor brings easily 20%+ better battery life, cheap to repair if broken since parts are “outdated” yet widely available for literally pennies, and A15 adds great functionality to the 12MP main camera making its photo capability still viable in 2023. The addition of 5G means you won’t be on life support for a cellular connection any time in the next ten years.
I just ordered two of the iPhone SE 2022 models, the rough straight talk’s Black Friday sale ($49 for the phone when you buy one month of prepaid service, and then wait 61 days for it to be automatically unlocked).
As a 14 pro max owner, from previous 13 pro max, I am strongly considering using the SE2022 as my daily driver for a while to see if it’s really all that limiting. I’ve been wanting to go back to a smaller phone for a long time. My wife will likely be using the other SE2022 as her daily driver and selling her 13 mini, as the square design is too uncomfortable for her small hands.
The SE 2022 has the same internals as the iPhone 13 lineup. It’s a beast of a phone, bottled in an older chassis that provided excellent repairability and a powerful phone at a ridiculous price (if you grab the $49 deal!)
Less than a good burger
Why didn’t you get the SE3 if you feel so strongly about that size and home button retention?
