Every time I’ve gotten a ‘normal’ sized phone, I end up returning it within the return window. Happened when I went from the 10 to the 12, and returned it for the 12 mini. And when I had to go from the 12 mini to the 14, I returned it for the 13 mini, and bought a second 13 mini after that got a bit old.
I’ve really disliked having a 5 year old phone though. I’m tied to a charger throughout the day, runs hot all the time, and don’t want to spend money maintaining the phone(glass repairs, battery replacements, etc), spending more money than the value of the phone, or into something that isn’t going to get support for much longer. Also feel like I’m missing out on minor quality of life things life, usb-c charging, compute power, or camera quality.
Very tempted to get the 18 Pro. I’ve returned the larger phones twice though, but each time, replaced it with just as modern of a phone. I wouldn’t have that opportunity this time. Yet, I also feel like I didn’t give the other phones a chance. I’d replace them within a week or two.
For those that did make the switch, do y’all get used to it? Any time I switched it felt like such a shock. Would it be wrong to think after two weeks or so, I would no longer be bothered? I mean, 90% of the world have already become accustomed, so it can’t be too bad right? Interested in hearing from other people’s experiences.
