    I’d love to stay with iPhone but Apple have priced me out. I’m going to hold onto my 12PM as long as I can and then I’ll probably look at a Pixel.

    Recently thanks to different promotions I had the opportunity to get a new Pixel for about $1000AUD less than a 14PM, can’t argue with that value.

      Same here and same phone. My 12PM has been starting to slow down increasingly for about the last 6 months, but my battery capacity has stayed steady at 89% throughout that time.

      I’m torn between getting a Galaxy S23 Ultra when they get deeply discounted, a Motorola Edge Plus 2023, or a OnePlus open. I would have considered the Motorola RAZR Plus 2023 if it had the same SOC as the Edge Plus 2023.

      The Galaxy Fold/Flip 5s seem to be barely iteratively better than last gen, so those are a pass until Samsung decides how it wants to handle competition from Google and OPPO.

      The Pixel 7 Pro QC issues and the Tensor 3 still being based on Exynos while the Tensor 2 is slower than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 have made me decide against the Pixel 8 Pro and the Pixel Fold.

      I think I’m going to pick up a cheap Galaxy Watch 4 Classic to replace my Apple Watch until the Galaxy Watch 6 comes down in price in 2024 or hopefully the Pixel Watch 2 can compete.
