Anyone planning to buy the iphone 17?

I became an Otterbox Defender aficionado long ago. BECAUSE it is bulky. I doubt there's better protection out there.

Phones cost too much to take chances.

I just can't stand that bulk in my pocket. I want it as thin as possible.

Understood. But I, fashion icon that I am't, wear cargo pants. Sometimes I even wear it on a belt clip.

Priorities.

I love cargo pants from Wrangler. Summertime the shorts. They have a special pocket that can hold the 15PM. However, for years I have been using a belt holster so I really don't use that special phone pocket.

Anyone updated to the new iOS 26 yet? It has a nice "glass" aesthetic, but seems to make my iPhone 16 run sluggish sometimes.

I have been running it from release of the developer beta to the public release of iOS 26 on my iPhone SE (2nd generation) released in April 2020 and I am not seeing any sluggish behavior.

I upgraded all my stuff and haven't noticed any performance issues.

I do find the new behavior of the delete function in the Mail app mildly annoying.

So far it's running reasonably well on my iPhone 13. There was the usual "phone runs hot/battery gets sucked dry" period after updating, but it's been reasonably normal since upgrading.

I just need to update our Macs to complete our OS 26 transition. The Liquid Glass is okay except I disabled transparency in Dark Mode. It made the time unreadable.

Oh, my complaint about the Mail app is on the iPad, not the iPhone.

Just got an email that my Airpods were shipped and will be here tomorrow.
