AT&T is discontinuing their usage of the GSM 3G network in Feb 2022, so this phone's days are now numbered! (it also has CDMA support, but CDMA is also on its way out as of January 2022)hitbyambulance wrote: ↑Sat Jan 09, 2021 8:11 pmnow installing iOS 12.5 update for this same phonehitbyambulance wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 7:13 pmjust got a security update today (iOS 12.4.9) for the 5s. security updates seven years after launch!hitbyambulance wrote: ↑Thu Nov 12, 2020 2:43 pm iPhone 5S is _still_ working fine. i have had my eye on the SE v2, but waiting for it to hit $250

Re: Apple encouraged phone upgrades...
i am considering an upgrade, since my FreedomPop service is discontinuing at the end of this month and this phone is going to be useless on every US network as of early next year.
if they were the same price, which would you get:
Apple iPhone SE 2 (2020) or Apple iPhone XS ?
the SE 2020 is newer (has the iPhone 11 internals) and slightly faster processor. the XS has a bigger screen, battery and 1 GB more of RAM

I'd decide based on which form factor would be least annoying/most useful.

I was forced into an emergency upgrade by the battery heating up uncontrollably in my iPhone 7 after installing the 14.4.2 update. Wasted a day resetting everything and I’m not done.

Every time I see the title I think isn't that what they are supposed to do?
