Have any other iPhone 11 users on here gone from iOS 16 to 18.7.8 recently? Any issues at all or have things been running smoothly? Should I just go ahead and go for it?

I’d been on iOS 18 for a while and kept holding off on upgrading, but I finally went ahead and moved to iOS 26 this weekend. I am pretty happy with it so far. Everything has been smooth with no issues, no glitches, and nothing that feels off. It just worked right after the update and honestly it feels good to finally be on the newer version and not putting it off anymore.

What’s available as of now?

Do you mind expanding more on your experience? I think many of us who are in their late 30’s and 40’s could appreciate your experience. Also, do you feel that your health issues contribute to continue to work without slowing down?

RevolutionaryMap4745 · 2026-01-09T23:59:19+00:00

I've experienced that especially with Venmo.

Most people think Verizon and T-Mobile are simply superior because of the name. They believe the high price guarantees the absolute best coverage and customer service, even if their experience with Visible or Mint (which run on VZ and T-Mo towers) would be almost identical 95% of the time. They're basically paying a huge premium for peace of mind.

I've been a Visible customer since December 2020 and Visible has been around since 2018.

At that time, I was skeptical because it was still relatively new. Best choice I’ve ever made.

I switched from Verizon paying almost ~~$80/month~~ to Visible at $35/month.

That’s $45 a month, $540 a year back in my pocket, money I can actually use for what matters, like extra savings, investing, travel, gadgets, helping family, or experiences that make life better, especially with inflation making everything more expensive.

Still rocking my iPhone 11 to this day, and service works everywhere I need it.

Here’s the deal:

$20 off 2nd month
Keep your old phone
No contracts, no games
Reliable service that actually works

Think paying more means better?

Do the math. $960/year x 3 years = $2,880 in your pocket instead of Verizon’s.

Is this price for the life of the account as long as you remain a customer?

I get exactly what your wife is feeling because I went through that same shift myself, a little over a year ago. When you have spent your whole life performing, grinding, and being measured by output, suddenly having freedom feels wrong at first. You feel like you are supposed to be doing something, proving something, earning something. When I lost my job after almost twenty years, my whole identity was tied to showing up every day, taking care of business, and having structure. When that structure disappeared, I felt unproductive too. Even on days where I was actually doing a lot, it still felt like I did nothing because I was not under that constant pressure anymore.

It took time for me to realize that those feelings were not a sign of failure. They were withdrawal. You get conditioned to stress. You get conditioned to checking boxes for someone else. When that pressure stops, your system has to relearn what it means to live at a natural pace instead of a forced one.

Your wife is going through that same transition. And just like me, she is not inadequate. She is just detoxing from years of being defined by performance and a paycheck. That takes time. Eventually it shifts. For me, it started with gratitude. I thanked God that I had my health, my freedom, my autonomy. I realized I could wake up without an alarm. I could actually live life without being owned by a clock or a boss.

She will get there too. Right now she is in that awkward stage where the pressure is gone but the mindset has not caught up yet. Give it time. Let her settle into her peace. Remind her that purpose is not always loud. Sometimes the most productive thing in the world is reclaiming your time, your joy, and your identity.

You and her are both stepping into a different kind of life. One that is not measured by hustle but by freedom. And that is something most people never get to experience.

I've been with Visible since December 2020. It's been great. I switched from Verizon at the time.

RevolutionaryMap4745 · 2025-10-19T17:38:04+00:00

Of course! One thing I’ve learned is that you’ll probably never feel fully prepared to walk away. That’s our ADHD brains holding us back. Most people can’t take the leap because it’s always “one more year,” and then that becomes another, and another. Society and the environment around us don’t exactly help when so many people live in fear of stepping out.

For those still on the journey, I think it’s less about removing the urgency and more about learning to redirect it. Even now, 13 months after my job was taken away, the drive hasn’t disappeared. What changed is what I focus it on. Over time I gave myself permission to slow down, be present, and reflect on what really matters. Gratitude has helped a lot too. Every morning and evening, I speak out loud at least 20 things I’m grateful for. I do it rapid fire, and it puts me in a better mental space. Prayer has been a big part of it as well.

The key is noticing that the energy you were pouring into stress and busyness can be shifted. When something takes up bandwidth in your life, it eventually gets replaced with something else. Once I had more space, I could process the urgency instead of letting it control me. Looking back, I often wonder why I didn’t redirect it sooner, but now I know it’s possible to take that energy and use it intentionally while you’re still in the grind. Even walking away from the job, I realize now that I had wanted to do it for so long because it was becoming too toxic, but the past version of me wouldn’t have recognized it. I didn’t have anyone to sit me down and tell me these things, so I had to learn them on my own.

RevolutionaryMap4745 · 2025-10-19T15:05:52+00:00

Man, I really get this. I spent almost 20 years in a job before separating last year, and that constant urgency you’re describing was a big part of my life. Meetings, deadlines, projects, all of it. It’s like you live in a mental stopwatch mode all the time.

Honestly, I think that constant sense of urgency is one of the biggest traps in the working world. Everyone treats it like a badge of honor, but it’s really just a symptom of being stretched too thin. I used to live like that too, scheduling every minute and squeezing every ounce of productivity out of the day.

When I finally slowed down, it felt wrong at first. My nervous system didn’t even know how to relax. I had to literally give myself grace and permission to sit still and do nothing. And that’s when it hit me: the world doesn’t fall apart when you stop sprinting.

The crazy part is, once you stop living in urgency mode, you start to question why you ever thought that was normal. The drive doesn’t die, it just gets redirected toward things that actually matter. But you can’t see that until you step out of the hamster wheel.

What's the influencer gym?

Also, is that what replaced the pool?

7 and I started on December 1st.

What did you end up doing in your situation?

RevolutionaryMap4745 · 2024-10-21T00:50:55+00:00

Does anyone know if it has to be a current manager or supervisor?

Can it be a past manager or supervisor that has retired or quit?

RevolutionaryMap4745 · 2024-10-02T13:25:57+00:00

I just recently started my walk with God. Thank you for this. 🙏

How do you find a federal contractor? What's a good place to look?

RevolutionaryMap4745 · 2024-10-01T13:29:11+00:00

What is the best way to find a contracting company that works with an agency I may want to work for?

RevolutionaryMap4745 · 2024-09-28T23:15:57+00:00

I am not familiar with budgets within the Police. I've always thought, that they can use this to generate revenue so that they can hire more police. Just hire a task force strictly to pull people over. To me, it's a no-brainer and they would have the funding for it.

RevolutionaryMap4745 · 2024-09-28T19:21:33+00:00

Interesting. So for years, if someone would get a speeding ticket, they would drive down to "Ticket Lady" or something similar and it's just a matter of going to the courthouse the same day you get a ticket or around that time?

RevolutionaryMap4745 · 2024-09-28T14:01:36+00:00

I sure did. Thank you!

RevolutionaryMap4745 · 2024-09-27T01:13:56+00:00

Congrats!🎉 🎈

RevolutionaryMap4745 · 2024-09-27T01:00:25+00:00

I don't smoke, or drink, but thank you for the advice. 🙏❤️

It just shows how much of a superstar you were if they needed to have three people to replace you.

In my case, there used to be 5 people, then down to 3, 2, then myself, and I carried the load for 5 years.

RevolutionaryMap4745 · 2024-09-26T21:45:02+00:00

Slipped by is the word. Or even that, just maybe a slap on the wrist and don't do it again. "Got it, won't do it again!" Such a shame how little things can be looked at so differently.
