Well, it's pretty much official. Getting a new phone on Sunday, as my current phone (IPhone XS) has really crappy battery life now. It can't even hold charge for a day, and battery health is at 75 percent. Not to mention it tops out at IOS 18. So, I plan to upgrade to the IPhone 17e. I know I will totally be wowed by the battery life alone, and probably the better speaker too. Lol.
I don't expect much day-to-day stuff to change, but it'll be interesting to see what I do notice, and if I'll find something fun to do with the new features I'll be able to use. I plan to have a play with personal voice, for instance. Also I suspect the microphones on the newer IPhones are slightly less noisy? I guess we'll see.
This will be hands down the biggest phone upgrade I've ever done. Unless you count going from a track phone to the IPhone 5. Lol

So, decided to sign in on ITunes on my PC, just in case it would make it easier to transfer data to my new phone for what ever reason. Couldn't sign in, got error 301. Went to the authorize this computer option and got error 1001. The solution? Remove the device from my account on the phone. Then authorizing the PC and signing in just magically worked. *sigh* You'd think that Apple, one of the biggest companies around, would be above the unhelpful error codes and would not spaz out and require me to do stuff like this to fix things. Oh well, at least it was an easy fix this time. Lol
