Time to retire my iPhone 5S. I bought it in 2014 and it still works great, but I no longer have service at my home address here and many places where it can pick up a signal I can't make or receive calls or texts. The only places where it still works is along the freeway corridors. So, I ordered a Samsung S22+ and will be changing from T-mobile to Google Fi when it arrives. I didn't order an iPhone because I couldn't find a good deal on any of the iPhones except the SE, which is mostly a budget phone that is about 1/3rd of a smartphone by current standards. And, although I think the iPhone is an excellent product, the Apple mentality has really annoyed me over the years. So now I will have to wait for the S22+ to arrive, which, with Google Fi, is probably going to be late next week or the following week because Google is really slow at shipping things.
I also considered the Pixel 6, but there's a lot of reports about network reception issues.
So now I have a perfectly functional iPhone that I guess I will set up to make WiFi calls on if I can find an app that will work on iOS12. If not, I guess I can use it as a spare digital camera.
