My wife is rocking the 12 Pro like a champ, I see no immediate reason for concern with your approach aside from the 13 seeming underpowered from day 1.

I upgraded to the 14 on launch day due to some of the heat/performance issues the 14 hardware solved almost immediately over the 13 Pro. I must also add the 14 camera to quality was far superior to the 13 Pro.

My 2¢.

Fungus, tea tree oil or OTC anti fungal should do it.

If you have a little Vic’s vaporub (menthol) or try rubbing lemon juice on it (acidic) and let it sit.

Find a little tea tree oil and rub it on that spot. You have a little fungus there. Should clear up by the end of the day.
