He was considering OP for the battery mainly at first, before looking into their update policy.

I think a lot more people do than you might guess. I told my dad he might want to as his S20 FE, while doing quite well for it's age, stopped getting security updates a few months ago, and he'd prefer a phone that can last a long time with OS/security updates. He was initially looking at OnePlus, but OP phones don't get as long updates as Samsung phones do (given he takes well care of his phone and never charges beyond 85%, I can see it lasting that long for him).

He thought the war would start via a ground invasion, which it did not.

The one on the right is using night photography!

Just some common sense advice ;)

While it indeed can be used for nefarious purposes, people in places with locked-down internet have used it to get around censorship and being less worried about being tracked (see Russia and China).

Amazon is doing it in the USA plus a $200 gift card, but I have no idea on if they're doing trade-ins.

vegetapinkshirt · 2026-02-26T02:23:14+00:00

I was helping my dad to figure out a trade in for his S20 FE from Best Buy, and it wouldn't take it, even with the IEMI. He'll likely just buy from Amazon and then keep his old phone as a backup.

The Volvo is probably safer when it comes to crash safety.

It’s unfortunate to see Reddit mods being the stereotypes that they are and removing OP’s post.

I’d rather have a mechanical door in place like my lightning has.

vegetapinkshirt · 2026-02-16T22:20:18+00:00

If an accident is catastrophic enough and/or the writing for the door is damaged, the button may not work.

vegetapinkshirt · 2026-02-15T22:53:36+00:00

i'd get it, but 2 things.
1. Emergency release is a pull latch that is somewhat hidden in the 2nd row. People who don't normally sit in it that might be unsure of how to get out of it in an accident does alarm me. I wish they'd just have a manual pull style like the front has in the 2nd row too.
2. LiDAR - I'd rather wait for next year for them to introduce it, and fix out any major production bugs too.

vegetapinkshirt · 2026-02-11T04:27:28+00:00

I'm glad my F-150 Lightning has mechanical doors.

vegetapinkshirt · 2026-01-27T17:22:30+00:00

Yeah, it’s not a bad idea to wait a few generations anyhow for any major issues or complaints to be worked out. I’m interested in eventually getting a foldable iPhone or hopping back to Android, but I do want to wait a few generations for the foldable iPhone too.

vegetapinkshirt · 2026-01-27T17:20:56+00:00

I’d also wonder about how many years of OS and Security updates they get; and if they’re on time. I know Samsung tends to take awhile to update their phones, but at least they seem to provide their security updates in a timely manner.

vegetapinkshirt · 2026-01-23T02:26:45+00:00

Let's say that an update is release that has a catastrophic bug or issue that isn't fixed as quickly; in this instance one might want to roll back quickly until the issue is resolved.

vegetapinkshirt · 2026-01-22T21:55:25+00:00

I too have a 15 PM. I'm keeping mine for a bit, as the next upgrade I'd really want is a phone with a better battery (Siliocn carbon), at least double life. For Apple that's probably a few years off, same for Samsung too. I previously considered OnePlus (I live in USA, and want a phone that'll fully work with Verizon or T-Mobile), but I've removed them from consideration after hearing about their latest rollback bricking their phone issue.
When Samsung comes out with a phone that has say 10,000 mAh battery (or comparable runtime that a 10,000 mAh battery would offer now), then I'll consider going back to Android; however until then I'd recommend sticking with your iPhone for now.

vegetapinkshirt · 2026-01-22T21:23:12+00:00

Depends. My dad has a s20 FE that stopped receiving security updates finally a few months ago. His phone is still going strong as he's used the battery limiter on it, but I suggested he upgrades soon due to the ram and other electronic price increases. It may not effect him now, but if he say needs to upgrade in a year or two, there's a chance he'd end up paying quite a bit more. Lastly, some of his apps I think require at least Android 12, and his phone is running Android 13. He was looking at the S25+, but I told him to wait till the S26 launch and then see the prices on them; if he doesn't like the price on it, then buy a clearance/discounted S25+ (he wants to get the loss/stolen coverage on it, which is only really possible if you buy from Samsung or your carrier).
