There really are no upgrades, and replacing the battery is a real pain in the ass and requires "fine motor skills" I'm sure I never had. So, you end up going to Apple ($75 plus tax) or one of the third party kiosk guys at the mall ($55 plus tax) for a new battery. Bummer. That's really not been a problem for me, because I am not a heavy battery user on my cell. I really *hate* long phone conversations. But my wife talks for a living, literally, and has frequent and lengthy phone conversations with people she is seeing and helping. She's had an iPhone 4S for a few years and the battery was dying. Our carrier had a "special" on phone upgrades (a new iPhone supposedly is coming out this week), so I bought her a new phone (an iPhone 5S with a new battery) for $99. The good news is, I just sold her old iPhone 4S for $143 to a reputable on-line buyer of Apple gear. That's $44 more than we paid for it about 2-1/2 years ago. They're sending me a prepaid padded envelope for shipment to their facility. I suppose the buyer can flip the phone for a few hundred bucks, since it is off contract, but I really am not sure of these details. Why are you telling us this? Sorta wondered that myself. Was waiting for some earth shattering news or something ..... Narcissism. |
