Pretty much‽

Totally with you on everything you said. I definitely am not buying random crap from Amazon all the time. (With the exception of my regular shipment of masks from not-Amazon, I probably get a package like 4 times a year.) Though I do use social media (mostly Mastodon these days).

The main difference is that, because I get a new phone so rarely, I’m perfectly willing to shell out flagship prices for the phone that I want ($1400 comes out to under $20/month over 6 years). I’m probably about a year overdue had I seen anything worth getting; I just haven’t seen anything worth getting. My curmudgeonly self likes a phone that:
  • Is small enough to comfortably use with one hand
  • Has TouchID
  • Has a headphone jack
  • Doesn’t have a silly notch where the time should be
  • Sits flat on the table because it doesn’t have a camera bump

So here I am on the original SE, the GOAT iPhone that is sadly beginning to show its age.
