Six years ago, during peak COVID, I bought my first iPhone. It has served me well, and using it for as long as I have, 2159 days, means it’s only cost me 38 cents a day. I thought it was toast last summer when I dropped it into my bike bag and shattered the back glass, but I kept it going for an extra 9 months by sticking a Dbrand skin on the back.Today I replaced it with an iPhone 17e, primarily because I need a phone with a longer battery life, and want a phone with a better camera. There have been 5 generations of iPhone since I bought SE in the summer of 2020, so, yes, the battery life is longer, the camera is (way, way) better, and everything is pleasantly snappy. I wish it was still possible to buy an iPhone as small as the SE, but the world has moved on from palm-sized phones, alas.Here’s my inaugural selfie, take a few hours after a fresh haircut at Ray’s Place.
