After 9 Years, I’m Officially Ditching the iPhone
I’ve just had enough.
I’ve been using an iPhone since 2016. Started with the iPhone 6, then iPhone 7, then iPhone X, then iPhone 14 Pro. But there’s this common repeating problem with the experience of using an iPhone, and that’s the battery.
As for context, I spend most of my time outside. I also travel more often. This summer, I went on a vacation for a weekend with my family to a beautiful lakeside in Northern Italy. It’s called Riva Del Garda.
And what’s the problem?
My iPhone battery got used up really fast.
You have to put yourself in my shoes. Italy is the most beautiful place on the planet. Of course, it’s impossible not to take pictures every time. Then, as any modern millennial, I often upload stories on Instagram. As many people know already, Instagram consumes a lot of battery. Like a lot.
I had to adjust the app settings to reduce how much it consumes. But no matter what I adjust in any settings, it barely makes any difference.
