minus-squarewise_pancake@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down1·2 days agoI hate this. I just bought a new battery for my 12 mini, I’m not going to upgrade until small phones are back. But also this phone still works perfectly, it’s like the day I bought it after the new battery.

minus-squarewise_pancake@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 days agoI was at a subaru dealership and they had a mid 2000s Subaru next to a new one The old one was awesome, big windows, good storage, small footprint. It was way smaller than the modern one, which is a full on SUV.
