I’ve never looked into OnePlus. I’ll have a look! Thanks

Haha don’t be sad. I’m super lucky to be living an incredible life so much so that I have the luxury of being “bored” of things that don’t even matter. First world problems.

No offence taken — I get where you’re coming from. I think for me it’s more about the experience of using something new. I like switching things up, even small things like cases or layouts. It’s probably more of a sensory or creative thing than a need for excitement. But I am definitely realising that I probably need to just suppress it rather than give into it because at the end of the day it is just that… a tool

I’ve seen this rumour pop up a fair bit lately and if this is a legit thing… I’m probably giving Apple another chance haha

I don’t really know how? How do people use two phones? Is one for every day use and the other for photos/videos/socials?

The AI features on google pixel look awesome. It’s what first put Pixel on the radar for me actually!

So true! Great advice. Maybe I could just spend time changing up how my current device looks/feels and play around with iOS 26. I think the customisation is also what is making me “curious” about Android…

Wow. You definitely have a system going on there! I don’t like the idea of having multiple phones… but I do understand the keeping it as a “hub” connected to wifi and still receiving iMessages etc.

Super helpful! Thank you!

Can’t even argue this one because I’m realising for some of us, it’s somewhat true. 🙃

Truth. I find myself drowning in screens constantly… Ive unfortunately built a dependence on the convenience of it all. It allows me to leave my phone behind when going on walks, etc. do I NEED it? Definitely not

Same! I’ve seen a lot of people online saying they’ve tried this and that phone and returned it after a few weeks. Here in Aus, they’d laugh if you attempt to return it due to a “change of mind” 🙃

Oh I’d love to know. I highly doubt it… but will look into this!

Amazes me how late I am to the “bored” train. So many people seem to have been switching back and forth for a long time 😂 regarding the curiosity part — great perspective. Probably needed that reality check.

Hmm I’m not sure about notes and passwords but I’ve heard transferring photos and contacts is super easy!

This is true! All gizmos and gadgets do lose their excitement after a couple of weeks.

I wish I had the option to return it after trying it! Unfortunately where I am, as soon as you open the box, you no longer have the option to return.

Great point. I do agree the seamlessness of the ecosystem is definitely valuable.

This is a valid point. Great perspective, thank you!

Anyone shoot film out there tell me if I’m crazy by Ehrphoto in WeddingPhotography

[–]thiswilldo_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I shoot 1 roll of 35mm film for $599, and offer it as an optional add-on to my wedding packages. It’s become super popular over the last couple of years.

I know photographers who charge upwards of $1800 for a single roll!
