I have AT&T on my personal 13 Pro Max and Verizon on my work phone. Coverage of course varies and there are some areas where my AT&T service is great but Verizon can barely provide a single bar. Also, vice-versa.

I always buy my own iPhones directly from Apple though.

I recently bought a phone and service bundle from Mint for a secondary personal line. Got 6 months free with it too so not a bad deal. Still deciding if I’ll actually renew it after the first year.

That is definitely weird. Thought it was my cellular data speeds at first. Apparently it’s common though. https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/119lesz/i_miss_dark_sky/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

How’s your data speed? I think I have noticed this when my connection is slow but looking like this was just a weird coincidence.

I know somebody who spent tons of money on a fold and the screen cracked. Fortunately, the warranty covered it but he seems to think another defect is occurring.

I am totally into the Apple ecosystem but just bought an Android phone for fun because it was a good deal combined with a year of service. If anything, it can be a backup phone if an iPhone in our house breaks.

My main phone will continue to be my iPhone 13 Pro Max though.

There were a small amount of other students at my high school that had iPhones around then. My parents would’ve just laughed at me if I asked for one. I had an iPod Touch though.

I used wireless charging for a while on my old iPhone 11 and eventually switched back to wired. I use an older Lightning to USB-A cable and Anker charger with my 13 Pro Max. Takes a while but as long as I connect it after dinner, it should be complete by bedtime.

iOS 16 has been a little problematic but still nothing like my experience with the Galaxy S8.

I had a Galaxy S8. It started out fine but ended horribly after some app conflict caused the battery to go downhill. At that point, I went over to iPhone.

I’ve had the 8 Plus, 11, and now the 13 Pro Max.

Google almost screwed me out of nearly $1k after I returned my Pixel 6 Pro. I mentioned the BBB (even though they probably wouldn’t do anything) and had a refund email within hours.

I was an Android user from Froyo (2.2) up to Oreo (8.0) or so. I mean it had its issues but was generally okay. Moved to iPhone in 2018 but tried Android again last year and for some reason, it seemed buggier. Even my dark/light mode settings based on time weren’t working correctly. iOS has its flaws too but I’ll still take it over my experience last year.

Throwing a screen protector on the replacement might be a good idea too. I went without screen protectors for years but after realizing my old iPhone 11 screen had a micro scratch the first day, it’s a requirement for me now and also keep spares on hand.

Oh. Did Verizon try to re-provision anything on their end?

Are you using a physical SIM or eSIM? Years ago when I had T-Mobile, was unable to receive most text messages. I finally went into a store and they gave me a new SIM card. The issue cleared up right away.

I've had issues somewhat recently sending SMS' to one contact in particular. Still unsure it that was an iOS or AT&T problem. Reset network settings and haven't seen the problem reappear in the past few days.

I’ve had that happen on iOS 16 but I think it’s due to AT&T rolling out C-Band in our area. Sometimes it goes between 5G and 5G+. One time I lost service altogether and had to wait for it to restore.

Haha! My parents are on two of the lines.

Haha. I was on the phone once with AT&T and the rep told me I can add a 4th line for pretty cheap. I couldn’t find the use for it but now figure it would be good for another phone. 😂

I was thinking of getting a cheap Mint plan and buying a Pixel 7 for fun. But, then again, it might not cost much if I were to add a 4th line on AT&T.

I thought it would be interesting to have both but switching back and forth sounds tiring. Another option would be to have an iPhone for personal use and an Android for work or vice versa.
