I just updated both my phone and my wife’s. I went from an iPhone 13 to a 17, and stayed with apple only because I am locked in to the ecosystem by IT policies. Fortunately, the allowance for using my own device covers 80% of the cost of the phone and plan.
My previous phone wasn’t charging reliably, and after an unfortunate incident where it was wet for an extended period, was doing some odd things.
Wife had a pixel 6a which was no longer holding a charge, or reliably charging. Upgraded that to a pixel 10.
I have sent both old phones to be fixed, which includes a new battery for the pixel and will be donating them to a Women’s shelter when they come back.
Thanks for the input. There is a lot to think about, and whilst $1,000 is ok, if I can get a good result for less, then I have no objections to that.
People here have given great advice, and have given me a good base to start my research. I have about seven weeks until his birthday, which gives me time to research and order.
Thank you. That was the plan. Looks like a fun project and it always amazes me how resourceful and thoughtful all of my kids are. It’s the sort of project that will make him think, and appreciate the finished product in a way that the preassembled one wouldn’t.
Three evenings is a good period of time for a serious, kit set project
Thank you. Bambu has been the number one recommendation from people I know. Cursory research looked great, but there were some reservations from people whose opinions I value.
This is the clearest, most succinct evaluation.
Much appreciated, and they are off the list.
Outside of the US, MAGA is used to refer to the ultra right wing as a shorthand.
For example, my boomer parents in New Zealand are referred to as MAGA by the rest of the family, and identify as such.
