kybearfuzzI've had my iPhone 6s for more than a couple of years now. I've not had a lot of problems with it, though the last major software update I did on my phone knocked out several favorite apps, but that's not Apple's fault or mine. Now I'm not the person who has to have the latest thing, but I went to the Apple Store today to take a look at the new iPhones.
Whenever I go to the Apple Store I feel like a kid in a candy store. I want a new laptop, a new iPad, an Apple Pen, a new Mac Mini, etc. Everything is so new and so colorful. I only need several thousand dollars to get everything I want with the memory I want.
Assisted by a furry namesake Genius, I broke down and bought a 256 GB iPhone XS. No pressure sales tactics, it just seemed to suit my needs. In fact, Marc the Apple Genius actually talked me out of buying a new iPad after I told him that I rarely used the one I bought seven years ago. He's a married man with two kids and he understands that sometimes people may buy things unnecessarily. I decided to put the idea of a new iPad on the backburner until my tax return shows up next year.
After putting a major dent in my savings account, I left for home with my new iPhone. It took me a while to figure out how to transfer the apps and data over to it, as it involved updating the software on my desktop at home and iTunes. Then I spent several hours waiting for the apps to finish downloading.
While having the new iPhone is pretty fun so far, I now wonder what to do with my old phones, as I now have three of them. I may convert the most recent to an iPod for the gym.
