Plenty Good Enough

Old iPhone 6 and "new" iPhone 6 Plus

The screen on my iPhone 6, though protected by a case, had acquired three hairline cracks. The risk of breakage had increased. Would I succumb to that new phone fever?

I had gone half a year without buying an 8 or an X, so my head was telling me to wait until fall for the new models. Normally I would give in to my heart (buy a new phone now! what are you saving it for?) but what swung the decision to wait was the presence of a bent-but-working iPhone 6 Plus that no one had been using since August. The cost of repair, including a new battery, was $215.

I have an upgrade that techies would sniff at. But the screen is gorgeous, and the 6 Plus is plenty good enough for me.
