My trusty XR (secondary device) is finally showing its age (impressive) so its time for a successor.

Current device is a 16PM. Gifted to gf as she had a 13 PM. So running the 17e now.

It's definitely not a daily driver. Way too many compromises but a great back up device. Happy to run it till the 18 serious comes around though.

Sidenote: Those reluctant 12/13 mini folk would be happy with this device tbh. Apple finally delivered a proper 'e' variant for its mini fans.
 
Why? Its the same size as 12/13/14/15/16 but not mini
True. I still have iPhone 12 mini and everytime I touch it. Shame that battery life is bad, so I upgraded to iPhone 14 and I no longer have to worry about the battery life. With 12 mini I was constantly worried from the beginning.
