Reddit underrated means it's not brought up in discussions all the time.

Don't even need to go midrange Android. You could just grab an older iPhone model and be fine too.

It’s insane. A ton of simple slip on cases go for $40 or more. I think the case is UAG brand, but it’s a rugged slip on case with some Kevlar on it and it’s 90 freaking dollars. OtterBox has a simple hard shell that is $40…..

It’s actually been hard for me to find a good case that isn’t stupidly overpriced. Spigen is fine but I find them kinda ugly and the material isn’t my favorite. I just settled for a $40 Speck case I got for $20

Less bloatware

Less issues. I’ll still have a tiny issue here and there but nothing like I did with Androids. Pixels were great in a lot of ways but I had so many problems with them.

Great ecosystem

Customer support is light years ahead of the competition.

Depends on the show. Better Call Saul, The Americans, and Game Of Thrones were shows I binged watched until I caught up, but I had no issues remembering things. I have retwached all those shows again and my memory has held up. There wasn’t plots or characters I completely forgot about.

Ozark on the other hand….for the life of me I can’t recall what has happened in that show besides some vague overarching plots and some character beats. I did a rewatch in preparation for the last season and I couldn’t believe how many major characters or plots I just completely forgot about

Size- Well obviously this is the huge draw of the device and even that had drawbacks for me. Typing was more difficult for me, and then I realized I consumed a lot more media on my phone than I realized and that screen just wasn’t cutting it.

Battery- For my use the battery was pretty terrible and traveling with the thing sucked. I don’t really want to carry around a battery pack or go find an outlet somewhere so the Mini just had to go. I remember walking around Vegas trying to find a fucking outlet to use or somewhere to buy a battery pack.

If you don’t use your phone that much for media, work, or whatever, than I can suggest the phone for sure. The feeling in your hand/pocket is just fantastic, but if you consume a decent amount of content or care about battery life I’d suggest staying away

It might be my least favorite show on tv. I can’t believe these people make a ton of money to give the least funny commentary possible.

Well my last phone was the 13 Pro so no noticeable difference in the touch screen. If you’re having touch screen and battery issues it might be worth bringing it in to an Apple Store if you can and get it checked out.

It could be an iOS 16 issue. I know battery problems have popped up because of that, but this is the first I’m hearing of touch screen issues.

Your 14PM battery is straight up defective if it’s lasting as long or less as your 8 Plus
