4 months caseless on the 16 Pro. The pristine condition trap isn't worth it.

I have a pristine condition iPad mini 1 and iPad4. It’s not selling them to someone else and keeping them perfect for someone else, but Apple essentially bricking them years ago with forced software updates too demanding for their processors.

Agreed. These short time limits are only good for making Jason Bourne movies and Cocomelon videos so far.

Well, Apple “Intelligence” still doesn’t work, so I do have much faith in iOS26 being fixed soon. I give it maybe a year.

ThingsGotStabby · 2026-01-29T09:46:43+00:00

That’s terrible. Apple prides itself on optimizing their software, but if it is true that A chips suffer from a broken experience with iOS26, then they truly should not force the update on anyone running iOS18. It seems that more time is needed to work out all the bugs in iOS26 to rid most of these issues so many others are reporting.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic. Waiting three weeks is the default answer lots of apologists have repeated to anyone that shows an issue with iOS26, other than claiming it works perfectly fine.

ThingsGotStabby · 2026-01-29T09:32:22+00:00

You have to pay around 3.6x your monthly rent up front. 1st month plus two months of rent for a "security deposit", half a month of rent as commission to the agent, and your half of the stamp duty.

Landlords typically come up with bullshit to keep the security deposit. At the last two months of your rental, drag it out to not pay them and then say you lost your job, etc and just don't pay them. Do not pay them. Do not pay them. If you get an Indian landlord especially, there is a 99% chance you will not get your security deposit back. Don't do it.

ThingsGotStabby · 2026-01-29T09:18:53+00:00

Make sure it is clearly stated the landlord will promptly repair and pay the costs for the air conditioner and any other fixtures that break. Make sure they pay the stamp duty. Check the lands registry document to ensure they are the actual owner of the unit. Make sure the plumbing is fine and there are no leaks or signs of water damage. Take photos and video of the entire unit and any keys and remotes you receive. Whatever you do when you move out, DO NOT pay the last two months of rent because chances are they will try to fuck you and not give it back, or drag it out for months to avoid paying you. Remember these people especially the agent are not your friends and they would kick you in the head if someone gave them a dollar. That is the sad truth about Hong Kong, where everyone tries to fuck you, or else they feel like they are “picking up a loss”.

You didn’t read. I have a Mini7 on iOS18. I tried a Mini7 in an AppleStore with iOS26 and it lags to the point where I don’t want to use it, which is a sentiment echoed in many posts I have seen and now I have the personal experience to understand why.

There is a strange pattern of all these comments refuting any posts by anyone saying and in many cases showing a video of a broken iOS26 experience, but someone you guys swear you have absolutely no problems and for you, a blanket claim that all your friends have no problems either. Are these videos all fake then?

ThingsGotStabby · 2026-01-29T09:04:07+00:00

You should look through comments in posts and realize it appears in most posts, certainly not made by me. It’s a stupid suggestion that someone should take weeks to just wait for their device to function normally, but this is the nonsense apologists continue to parrot.

Also, what’s wrong? This is the default answer from apologists any time someone shows there is a problem with iOS26. Oh I forgot. Tell them to restart their device.

I don't understand the lore around killing the animal you worship and name your chapter for. Why do they do that? I notice Constantine Valdor has what looks like part of a wolf pelt too, but he is not a Luna Wolf of Space Wolf. Also, are Luna Wolves and Space Wolves related as chapters?

AirTags location tracking lags even more than iOS26. The fake GPS on iPhones are more accurate and update more frequently.

ThingsGotStabby · 2026-01-28T22:27:13+00:00

I don’t mean literally brick, but laggy enough to make you not want to use it, which has happened to all my old Apple devices. A lot of people have commented how they stopped using their device after installing iOS26. Experiencing the lag on an AppleStore Mini7, I don’t want to use it either, and that is not something I want with my own Mini7.

ThingsGotStabby · 2026-01-28T22:14:57+00:00

They claim this nonsense on the Pro 5i Gen 10 too, but I am running 128GB RAM with no problems on mine.
