One Fine Acre - 2023 4H Steer Project Update

[TAH]

My dad had that happen with his phone.... Other than it didn't die but half the screen didn't work.

Yes an iPhone 5
They have a 10 now
No need to insure one that old
You can buy a refurbished phone for about what the insurance deductible is
I'm going to see if I can find a used 6 Plus

Rachel sorta fixed my phone
It's operable at this point
I'm on it now
Was doing some research today
May have to wean myself from Apple and the iOS operating system
There are a lot of much less expensive android phones available
I found one that had a lot of good reviews with a 5.5 in screen for $150
A "refurbished " iPhone 6 is $250-$350
I'll take recommendations

My Techie son laughs every time he sees my iphone. Then he shakes his head.
"Apple is always several years behind in......... " I tune him out after that because I have no idea what he is talking about.
For me I just take pictures and text. Seriously- I can't see on the darn thing anyway.
DH said he got me the iphone because it would be easiest for me to use.

Do you do alot of work on your phone?

I have a cheap TracFone, not even a "smart" one. Costs about $60/year and I have over 3,000 minutes. Can you tell I don't use it much?

I do 0 work on my phone
I talk text
Do BYH
FB
Stream some video
Use google maps to get me where I'm going
Check the weather
I need/ want a bigger screen

 

[OneFineAcre]

I'm just used to Apples operating system
I had a 3 and a 5c
There is just a lot more out there with Android because Google makes it available to other manufacturers and Apple is exclusive with iOS
Just wondering if anyone has a good inexpensive Android phone

I have only used the Galaxy phones, so I can not give a side by side comparison. I use my phone for a large host of things, the day job which is within an IT department, the farms which consist of checking a number of things going on in the greens houses (temps, fan speed, amount of light), fish tanks (pH, DO, temp and a host of other items) and stalls (cameras). It allows me to take credit cards at events and since I have an electric smoker (I am not a purist, it works for me), I can keep an eye on that as well and make adjustments if needed (nice for those big over night smokes). The newest one I have allows me to take hand written notes and mark up existing documents. Plus standard items of email, texts and phone calls. Just my two cents worth, but I know switching from one OS to another can be a pain since you have to learn where ever thing is and how it works.

I hope you get the phone thing worked out. I have an iPhone 6s that I got at the world of wally and it was like $150. I'm like you I don't need to be on my phone all the time but this one is easy to use and does everything I need and more, sad thing when your phone is smarter than you are and I find that mine is.
big congrats on the last show. girls look great.
