It’s a Trumpkin… oh no! I said it wrong… IT’S TURNING ORANGE!!! RUN!!! 😱

Oh yeah - I think we switched from a very similar one which was biodegradable, i thought the whole “earth rated “ fooled me into thinking these were too! I think the old ones were called something like “beco”

This may be the difference here, I have never broken a phone, my iPhone 6 became my dads and is still going, and my current phone is the iPX I bought over 8 years ago. You probably need to take better care of your stuff. 😀

Where are you getting an iPhone for less than $160 that still gets security updates?? I can replace my iPX for about $200 for a refurbished one, but not get an 11 which will only have 9 more months of updates. I can probably get a used 11 with an already trashed (<70%) battery for $160.

You just reminded me I still have an inspection camera which can only work with software that requires Windows XP, last time I used it I had to run it on a virtual machine on my laptop, it’s been a few years, I probably don’t have the VM anymore. The camera works perfectly, I wish I’d paid the extra for the one with its own screen.

I’m going to respectfully disagree; had the phone kept shutting down you would have gone to Apple or a 3rd party repairer and got a new battery for 30-80£€$. By masking the real issue and just giving you a poor experience, you wonder if it was always like that, or if there is something wrong at all, maybe you compare it with a snappy new phone and decide to upgrade for 1000£€$

Not come across that one, maybe it didn’t affect iOS 16, so us iPhone X users are safe? It is funny that all the responses so far have been about phones.

Got to be Apple slowing down older iPhones to mask battery degradation, and hoping no one would notice.
