Who got their new iPhone 17 today?

Kids today have no idea what Cingular was/is. I still remember BellSouth.

Ma Bell, Southern Bell, rotary dial phones, crank phones and party lines

What you're wrestling with is what Aristotle called the "prime mover."

Thought more bulk in your diet was the prime mover...

I have never owned or used an iPhone. I started out with a Motorla "brick phone." Then a Motorola Timeport flip phone. Made my own connection cable to hook up to a Compaq iPaq so I could use ie to browse the web. Circa 2000, way before Sprint figured out what the geeks were doing and shut us down by making us buy a "data plan "

After that I bought a Treo 600, waiting in line in the cold in Chicago to be one of the first. Always liked being an "early adopter." Never did try the Apple products, always been Android for me since about 2007 (beta).

I now buy last year's hotness on Backmarket.com for Samsung's "next to the latest version" refurb or returned phone. Only had kne glitch and since it was a $200 purchase, IDGAF, bought a new one.

I tried the IPhone 4s but enjoy androids better. Also, I still have an AOL email account 😆

How about "Friends and Family"?

And calls are free after 9:00 PM.

I’d be more surprised about it staying able to work after future updates lol

iPhones are known for adding updates that practically kill the life of older iPhones forcing you to upgrade

I don’t update.
