Returning my new phone. My Actifit Report Card: April 3 2024
Another pretty good day today. As always it was stretching, calesthenics, and a walk in the park to start the day.
As always there was an evening walk with the dog to finish it.
Actually got a pretty good view of the sunset's reflection on the clouds. Pretty proud of that picture.
Other than that made a great batch of chilli which the children ate and enjoyed, horray!
I had to prepare dinner early because I had to make a long trip into Vancouver to pick up my parents in law from the airport. They have returned to Canada and will be staying with us for the next year or so.
Past that?
Well, I may have mentioned that I got an iPhone 15 PRO a few days ago. After two days trying to love it I found out that I really didn't want to learn how to use a different device. I'm much better with android. So, since the store has a 15 day return policy I decided to take the iPhone back and get a refund.
Why spend so much money on a phone I don't even like. Now no offence to the phone as it had an excellent display and was quite reponsive....
..... but I just didn't want to have to deal with learning a new thing right now. Maybe some other time.
And that's my report for the day,
Thanks for dropping by.
Until tomorrow :)

Other than the camera that I am told is superb and maybe features like Snapchat which is available on android phones, I really don't see the much use of iPhone (no offense intended). I'll rather stick to simple.
Here in Nigeria, data is a challenge, I learned there are some features on iPhone that wouldn't work without data. Maybe misconceptions but, I'm comfortable with my android 😂
It is a little different here in Canada.
Data is fairly plentiful (my plan has 50GB/month) and the phone plans are fairly expensive also ($50CAD/month).
I get to make two choices.
(1) get a slightly cheaper plan with less data (20GB / $35CAD) or
(2) get a new iPhone PRO with a more expensive plan (75GB / $60CAD)
At first glance spending less money for the 20GB plan is better. The 20GB is misleading its actually 20GB at 5G speeds but UNLIMITED at slower speed :)
But on a 2 year contract paying $60/month I pay $1440 for my bill with a final payment of $460 at the end of the contract and get an iPhone valued at $1900. In short: Pay $1900 over 2 years for a phone and get free service. Hard to turn down free!
Which left me with the quandry:
Pay $1900 and get a nice new phone and cellular service / data
or
Pay $840 over two years and keep my current phone which will just get older by the minute. Then again, it still work just fine.
Decisions, decisions, decisions :)
Thanks for your input though. I think its always better to hold money in hand than spend when you don't need to. But a shiny new iPhone was still very tempting :)
Always appreciate the feedback. Thank you.
