Broke but it aint broke?

Ok so the last thing that broke on me and that I had to fix was my phone.

I was charging it, and the damn charger got stuck in the charging port.

It was an IPhone SE 2020!

I’d had it for 3 years, but up until then it was working fine.

So I went down to the store the next morning, with my old phone in my hand.

I purchased a new iPhone 13, and took it home, took out my old phone to transfer the data over, and voila!

The old phone worked still!

I just wasted 100 euro on a phone, 30 euro on a case, and 40 euro on a phone charger!

I could’ve kicked myself!

In future I won’t be jumping the gun and running out to buy a new phone!

I will see if I can do something with my old one first!

The thing is, I just can’t be without my phone. I literally depend on it for everything, sad but true!

    Well at least you got a chance to upgrade. I still have the iphone XR. Surprisingly it still works really well. I would love to have the money to upgrade but it’s just not in my budget. As far as what you can do with your other phone, you can sell it to help pay for your therapy. Or keep it for a back up.

      Yes. I’ll probably sell it. Its in really good condition. No scratches, it has always been in a case, and had a screen protector on it. Xx

        That’s awesome. Great condition phones sell faster 😊 Good luck sweetheart. If I had the money, I would take it off your hands. But finances have been tight lately.

        Oh I completely understand. Dont even worry about it. It probably wouldn’t work in the USa anyway, since my network is in Ireland. x

        I don’t blame you there. The USA certainly isn’t what it use to be. Our incompetent president is making us American citizens look weak. Not only that but that dude is a complete joke of a president. He doesn’t know his 🍑 from his head.

        I want Trump back! He isn’t as cold hearted as Biden. Trump actually makes an effort to visit places like Hawaii that got completely destroyed and hundreds of people died. He showed his love and condolences, unlike Biden. Biden went on vacation and didn’t give a lick about Hawaii. He caught sooo much crap from not only from Hawaii residents but also nation wide. Trump actually wanted to make a difference in this world and make this world better but Biden is screwing everything Trump worked so hard to put in place. Like I said, Biden doesn’t know his head from his 🍑

    We do rely on our phones. It took me a while to get an smart phone, and now everything is on there.

      Glad you got one in the end. I did not get one right away when they came out either!

    I just switched carriers and they gave me a free iPhone 14, except I still had to pay for the tax. My Samsung 21 was still working, but I was having issues with group texting and that was driving me nuts. It’s taking me a little time to learn navigation, but I am loving the phone.
