That's great. But I thought it would be OHMSS.
I have seen some of those before. They are hilarious.
Yes! He finally did it!
Hahaha! Good one!

Bought a new iPhone XS yesterday. Can't believe how expensive smartphones have become, but it's sure an upgrade to my old iPhone 5, which I bought back in January 2013.
I certainly understand that, and it was my goal initially to use the old iPhone until the next generation (11 or XI or whatever it might be called). Unfortunately the battery just started to drain drastically at the start of the year, until I couldn't really use it for anything – constantly having to recharge it two-three times a day. So, I decided to just use some cash I've saved up situations like this, and upgrade. Other than the battery and the fact that the iPhone 5 has been running a bit slow lately, it's been great to have – no doubt my best phone I've owned. Still going to keep it as a backup though.
Also, I know I could have chosen a cheaper smartphone from a different manufacturer, but I have several other Apple devices, so I found it preferable to keep with the same brand.
I think I'll be upgrading to the iPhone 7 if my local store ever has it in stock; pricy, but not as pricy, thankfully. I need it before it inevitably craps out and stops working.
And yes, I've debated purchasing a used iPhone XR or whatever through eBay, but even still, they're still wildly pricy and I can't stand purchasing used/refurbished tech.
Have you considered the iPhone 8? Can't remember for sure, but I think I read somewhere that the jump in tech and features from the 8 to the X/XS/XS Max isn't that huge. The 8 will no doubt be more pricy than the 7 though.
I did briefly consider buying an used XS (if available at my local store), but in the end I didn't want to take the risk. There's more components and stuff in an iPhone that can go wrong compared with a vintage music amplifier, for example.
That's quite the price difference for two older models! My local store is part of the Telenor Group (mobile operators), so I can easily order an iPhone online and get it delivered there. Looking through the Telenor web store right now, they have iPhone 7's and even iPhone 6's available. Is your local store a part of a chain, and/or do they offer similar services?
No disrespect to our future King intended of course.
As for Charlie's set visit, if you watch the whole thing (which, I'm sure, many of us here have), it actually struck me the touch of skill his role requires; the rapidity of relevant (if nonsense) questions he asked every person he met really is quite something. Mastering small-talk is a skill that can definitely help you professionally. You can learn something watching old Charlie there. ;)

We're all getting together to raid Area 51. They can't stop all of us. You in?Go ahead. It s just a distraction anyway. Isn t it, @RichardTheBruce ?
I'm coming from Wales, but if you can all wait for me, i'll join you. Maybe start a little sing song as we're breaking in. I'll bring my dog, and we'll make a day of it.
Looking forward to it.
