    time to upgrade

    They fucking got ya. That’s like a $30 repair and you just threw it in landfill and gave them another grand or more. Weaksauce.

      Given that the phone didn’t have USB-C that most likely means it was from like 2016, so it’s fair to say that it’s time to upgrade. Phones have gotten so much better since then, especially the cameras.

        If the connector hadn’t changed I probably would have gotten it repaired. But since there’s not aftermarket port swaps I figured I should bite the bullet.

        Maybe by 2032 I’ll be ready for a new one again.

      Ouch. Why don’t you remind them that their dog is dead as well. Really lay into them.
