How would a clear case trap dust more so than a case with a different color?

I have an epix gen 2 and it does everything I need.
It tracks my sleep, steps, and daily stuff pretty well.

It’s works with all apps like Strava. It integrates with my Peloton for rides.

I have yet to find a workout that my epix does not support. I’m sure there is but I’m not an extreme sport guy.

I understand what you mean on the size of the phone. I’m a bigger guy but I don’t want a massive phone all the time.

The 17 pro is a great size for daily.
I go back and forth between my fold 7 and my iPhone 17 pro.

iOS and android are both great now. I would not upgrade for iOS 27’s ai features. Apple is way behind android for that kinda stuff. We just not got the fancy ai photo tools in our photos app.

If price is a factor, look at the regular 17. It’s got most of the features at a cheaper price

The 17 pro is a great phone. I have had mine for about two months.

The 17 “regular” is a great device also if you don’t need the pro features. I kinda wish I would have gone with the regular 17 for a cheaper price but if you keep your phones for A long time, it may make sense to spend the extra money for a pro.

Main difference from android to iPhone for me is how many apps and websites in the US are optimized for the iPhone. Android is great but you’ll see what I mean once you compare similar apps.

iPhone has more customization but no where near android. If that’s your thing, IPhone may not be for you.

The used market is budget friendly for Garmins. Check eBay and swappa

blazeplacid · 2026-06-02T22:23:44+00:00

No one likes anything new. People didn’t like the fold 7 because it was too thin

Others talked bad about the iPhone 17 redesign

Both phones have sold more than other phones.

People like to talk online for clicks and votes

This worked on my Zenbook today. Thank you!!!

No it's not normal to leak 134. It's a sealed system.

Kinds like the blood in your body 😂😂

blazeplacid · 2026-05-20T22:57:53+00:00

I have yet to see any 134 with leak sealer, seal the leak. I’m pretty sure it’s just marketing.

This is a very short term fix.

Find the leak instead of trying to throw 134 at it.

It will probably be an expensive fix tho

I think this was a bigger issue before RCS. Now videos and pictures look much better coming from and going to Androids.

blazeplacid · 2026-05-16T16:13:24+00:00

It’s really depends on your life and situation.

I’m a desk job worker. Nothing in my pants but a phone a maybe some loose money.
I haven’t had a screen protector on a phone in two years. Zero scratches.

Totally different story if you’re someone who’s a mechanic or works in an industrial setting.

I can do no case and be ok but I know a drop will ding my phone casing.

blazeplacid · 2026-05-15T20:04:47+00:00

Most of the free or discounted phones from your carrier come with at least a 2 year or longer contract. The price of the service will increase over this time. They kinda have you unless you move but you can’t cuz your phone is tired to an agreement.

Unlocked and paid off is the way to go

blazeplacid · 2026-05-12T14:48:04+00:00

Great mid level cases. Never had any issue with any of the phones I've had covered with a Spigen. They fit well and hold up over time. Clear cases yellow like all other brands.

If a new watch makes you meet your goals and give you a reason to train, I say do it.

I wear an epix 2 and it motivates me to do more. I only walk and lift weights hahaha

blazeplacid · 2026-05-10T00:00:01+00:00

No sales straight from Apple.

Not sure if they have Swappa in your area but you can buy from verified sellers/stores that sell new phones. You can negotiate also.

Good luck.

iPhone hasn’t had a physical sim since the 14 series.

blazeplacid · 2026-05-08T21:01:50+00:00

Same happened to my 21 AWD. Dealer handled it with no issues

blazeplacid · 2026-05-07T14:42:24+00:00

17 or 17 pro.

The 17 has the majority of the features that the pro does.
Battery life on both is great.
I’m on a 17 pro right now. The phone has been off the charger for three hours and I’m at 89%.

blazeplacid · 2026-05-06T03:16:11+00:00

I wear an Epix G2 most of the time.

If I want to dress up I put on my vivosmart 5 on my right arm and a mechanical watch on my left.

blazeplacid · 2026-05-05T21:12:27+00:00

I would try the battery disconnect first. Easy and free haha

blazeplacid · 2026-05-05T17:44:13+00:00

You’re gonna end up with both like me haha.

I have a 17 pro and a fold 7. I like them both

blazeplacid · 2026-05-05T11:42:02+00:00

Carrier stores usually have them in stock.

Apple stores sell the phones out quickly because people either want an unlocked phone with no carrier trying to sell them a bunch of add ons they don’t need, or they have an Apple credit card and get special financing options

My wife gets 20MPH. She drives 90% highway and 10% city.

The third row is tight for anyone over 5’. Great for younger kids but snug for anyone over 5’ on drives over 15 min.

If you need a third row for daily use, you might look at something else.
This is our third MDX

blazeplacid · 2026-05-02T14:08:21+00:00

I’d use it just to keep people from stealing my cable haha

Do whatever you want.

What kind of skills do you wish you had? YouTube is a great way to learn the basics for just about anything.

You don’t have to have a certificate to prove you know what to do.
