Trash AF.
I accidentally did the last IOS update.
Hate those F'ing things.
Always causing bad sh to happen instead of fixing sh.
F'ing trash *** system.

I normally just trade it in towards a new phone. The trade-in deals they had for the 12 Pro was good.

Yea but now it’s a 2 year old phone, curious what they will offer. I also have a 12PM

 

[DB Cooper]

I got the 11 pro max. They were offering $730 for trade in. One thing I’m still experiencing is music skipping while connected to bluetooth in the car. Keeps pissing me off!

Well, yeah. I was giving an example.

And for some (like myself) trading in my current phone towards my new phone is much less of a hassle.

 

[thekillerj23]

Have an XS Max, go 4 years on a phone, don’t care if upgrades are not major but I need that 14 pro max asap!

 

[dakid23]

Waiting for the 14 Pro. I'm ready to retire my X.

anyone recommend a solid 4K monitor that works well with MBP for under $400?

Hit up eBay and track the LG Ultrafine 4k and 5k displays. Look for Open box models with barely used or not used. I got a new 27” for about $500.

 

[spizike231]

Check Best Buy for open box deals too.

I got my gaming monitor open box from them and saved like $160 by doing so

If you just need it for browsing and video watching. I would recommend Samsungs 4K monitors. Those tend to go on sale from time to time. Even Dell's Ultra Fine monitors are nice.

LG seems to be the S-Tier monitor to pair with your Apple.

Currently eyeing an LG monitor and the Sony monitor that just released.

I'm a graphic designer so color accuracy is the main thing I'm looking for. I did peep some monitors from Samsung, Dell and LG but cant really determine which brand/model to go for.

 

[cs02132]

Switched it up for the first time and got the green 12 PM last time, definitely going back to black like usual
Hope they drop that wine colored leather case too. I need that

 

[waukeganwill]

Anyone have issues with calendar events sending notifications 24hrs before the event, even though that isn’t selected on the alerts?

Research what photographers are using.. they need high color accuracy as well.

Higher priced option. (I like this monitor)
LG 27UN850-W Ultrafine UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS Monitor, VESA DisplayHDR 400, sRGB 99% Color, USB-C with 60W Power Delivery, 3-Side Virtually Borderless Design, Height/Pivot/Tilt Adjustable Stand https://a.co/d/5dBv2MN

(Also good, budget friendly)
LG 27UL500-W 27-Inch UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS Monitor with Radeon Freesync Technology and HDR10, White https://a.co/d/e8Oc46T

^ the LG 27UN850-W was actually the one I been eyeing the most. I've had it in my shopping cart for a couple weeks but the price went up from 390 to 450 about a week ago . Would like to stay within my $400 budget but I'd prolly be willing to dish out the extra 50 if I cant find a better option. thanks.

Again I bought mine open box for $500 on eBay. Yes, I’m a graphic designer too. Going on for 25 years now. Amazing it’s been that long.

Anyone used swappa to SELL before? How’s the process?

Debating should I sell this 13 or just trade it in for credit

Does remaining battery life when trading in an iPhone with Apple?

I don’t believe so.

Just no major screen cracks, all buttons work, etc.

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

What orders

ordered myself an m2 macbook air

i first ordered an m1 16 inch but i was not really using it heavily so figured an air would do my duties but its so slow to come lol

 

[aNYone]

I don’t believe so.

Just no major screen cracks, all buttons work, etc.

Aight. Thank you.

I pay my phones in full and throw them in an otter box as soon as I get them, so I hope I get a decent amount on this 12 pro.
