December 2023

iPhone XR losing battery effectiveness.

Elected to keep Google Fi and get a 14 from Apple. $729

Shame on Apple: $30 for an unlocked phone. "Connectivity Discount" or whatever else you call it, it sucks. 

Discounts:

$75 back for a future purchase: Gift card from Apple , black friday

3x $15 back from target for $100 apple gift cards. Only one card from online. The second kept saying Pending, until I cancelled it. Two more from the store. 

Estimated $140 back for iPhone XR

--------

Picked up a iphone se 2022 , June 2022. $429. no trade ins.

Family got the hand me downs. 

Google Fi unlimited seems ok for now (2, 3, 4 lines are now $80 +, currently called "Simply Unlimited"). We switch back to flexible for international trips. Switch is possible only in monthly increments, at the end of the billing cycle.
