I was going to buy an iPhone15, but by the time I got from the door to the counter they released the iPhone16. It was only $999 more, but SO much better. The moment I left the store I got a ping that my new phone needed a software update, but it wouldn’t load so I went back in, receipt still in hand. They informed me my 16 was obsolete, but the 17 was on sale because the 18 was just announced—and it’s SO MUCH BETTER.
