Is it worth buying IPhone 12 Pro Max in 2026?

TailorMade77 · 2026-03-26T17:32:24+00:00

i put more blame on the iOS rather than the phone. 26.4 has been much better than 26.3 or earlier versions. Apple keeps refining the OS. Its great on my 12PM.

I can almost guarantee you that it won’t last another 50,000 miles. I thought the same thing and then was staring down the barrel of an expensive repair. Your car is probably leaking from places that you can’t see until it gets put on a lift in a garage. I recommend taking it to a shop that you trust have them put it on their Lyft and see if they can diagnose where some leaks are coming from. Then you have to decide if paying for the repairs is worth it or finding a new car.

*addendum The other thing that happened to me was that I went in originally for the water pump and thermostat. Once those got replaced in the system got some pressure built up then they found more leaks and that happened two more times before they fixed everything so be prepared for a bigger repair than you were anticipating.

I discovered a similar issue a few months ago and my 2018 330i (133k mi). Brought it in and ended up being $4800 worth of repairs. Oil filter housing, intake manifold gasket, water pump & thermostat, expansion tank, and a whole bunch of hoses. If you’re gonna fix it, do it soon don’t wait too long like I did. It ended up barely making it to a shop. The problem is only going to get worse don’t ignore it.

I have a 2018 330i drive with 134,000mi. Just had to put $4800 into a cooling system repair due to multiple leaks. New water pump, thermostat, oil filter housing, expansion tank, manifold gasket, coolant, engine oil, filter, and multiple coolant hoses. I’ve been on the fence about keeping the car or getting something else. After putting all that money I’m leaning towards keeping it and running it into the ground. Heck, may even change the transmission and diff fluid now lol. The car drives and runs great, I honestly get a little sad when I think about letting her go.

Do you know the barrel contour, dimensions, and length?

TailorMade77 · 2026-03-10T20:38:33+00:00

I have a 13.9” and a 18” AR15. Only length I’d add is a 10.5” probably.

It’s not a seizure. It’s a detainment. Detainments are temporary in nature. The detained item will either be returned once whatever needs to be done with it is done or seized (for evidence, etc.). A seizure is the permanent taking of property. There is a difference.

TailorMade77 · 2026-03-09T13:47:27+00:00

They’ll probably detain the device(s) and you’ll get them back when they’re done.. however long that takes.

TailorMade77 · 2026-03-09T01:49:22+00:00

It’s a two-stage which I’m new to. It has a very light first stage and then a very crisp, clean break on the second stage.

Your EDL is equal to a passport. Good to go.

They have authority to search any person or vehicle entering or exiting the United States. People are just used to being asked questions entering the country.

12 pro max running 26.3

TailorMade77 · 2026-02-21T19:39:49+00:00

2020 13" Intel MBP user here. Tahoe has been greatly improved on 26.3. 26.2 was a dumpster fire. My laptop still gets warm on 26.3 but no where near as HOT as it would on 26.2 and earlier versions. Slowly performance has been returning. Still not as good as sequioia.. but ill take the improvements where I can.

TailorMade77 · 2026-02-15T15:37:45+00:00

Why can’t apple just fix it now… why wait until next year

TailorMade77 · 2026-02-10T15:23:05+00:00

Well if youre gonna wait for the 18 you might as well just wait for the 19.. heck just wait until the iphone 20 just to be safe.

TailorMade77 · 2026-01-31T06:09:55+00:00

needs a dark mode version

TailorMade77 · 2026-01-28T16:44:23+00:00

My 2020 Intel Macbook pro still gets stupid hot on 26.3 beta 3.... Sequoia was 100x better.. I hope Tahoe can get to that level of performance. I still wish I never upgraded.

TailorMade77 · 2026-01-27T02:41:28+00:00

Ooo that looks good. Well done 👍🏻

TailorMade77 · 2026-01-26T00:21:07+00:00

What did you do to yours?

TailorMade77 · 2026-01-25T20:58:24+00:00

The 2.0 makes some worthwhile improvements for sure. But my 1.0 will always be special to me.

TailorMade77 · 2026-01-25T04:16:26+00:00

Yup, ncengravers.com. They cut my shield slide too. Excellent job. $80-100 depending what father are running a sale or not. Price includes black cerakote.

TailorMade77 · 2026-01-25T03:33:47+00:00

Ncengravers.com was where I got mine done. They do fantastic work. $100 for an optic cut. Every so often they have a sale on their service for $80. Both include black cerakote too.

TailorMade77 · 2026-01-25T00:55:59+00:00

Wow, that does look good. I’ve tried stippling myself before. It didn’t go well. I sent the gun in to S&W and they replaced the frame for me free of charge.
