Simple Living

For over 2 years I was on a Verizon Postpaid family plan paying about $140 plan (about $153 including tax) for 2 lines with unlimited data. Prepaid 2 lines @ ~$93/month I did the math and realized Verizon Prepaid offers a similar deal for much less and opted for the 16GB for my main line and unlimited for my second for a total of $90 a month (about $ 93 including tax). That is roughly a savings of about $60/month, which is quite significant! Limitations of Prepaid There are three (3) limitations: Video streams at lower 480 resolution, not that it matters on a small screen. Cannot use data while on the phone. No Disney+ for free Honestly, I bought Disney+ for a low price so that's not a big deal and I'm not too concerned on low video resolution as I stream mostly on WiFi.  The only one that is a slight pain is inability to use data like search the web while on a phone call.

I've owned my iPhone 6s since 2016 and it's served me well.  However, with the impending iOS14 and the decaying battery life, I'm planning on upgrading and evaluated my options as follows: iPhone XR iPhone SE iPhone 11 iPhone 12 Replaced the Battery Feb 2020 Initially, I planned to make a decision after the release of the iPhone SE in April, but decided to replace the battery on my 6s to give me more time to decide and also prepare the 6s to become my backup phone. It's almost like a new phone with the brand new battery and the phone can last me the full day again.  Before that I was constantly having to recharge within 1-2 hours or have a battery pack on hand. iOS 14 Second to the poor battery life, is the impending iOS 14 release that may skip the 6s.  If it does, I have no choice, but to upgrade and this is the main driver for my choosing to upgrade.  So I'm anticipating this may happen in September when iPhone 12 is possibly released.
