For What Its Worth

RobertW,

Worth every penny, bargain.

TonyKgull , you seem to think 50-75$ to change a battery is cheap.
I, on the other hand, think of it as extortion.

I did do a battery change on a Nexus 5 (made by LG). Design was not intended to be user replaceable, but the internet teaches us well.

Go LG. I have a LG G7 ThinQ (G8 is out now) In runs Android 9, slightly skinned. But Samsung skins way more than LG does. So much so I did not recognize what version of Android the Tab 6S is running. I had to look it up. It does not even have the standard Android 9 pill button, instead it has the old 3 button things.

The iPad is not upgradeable and you cannot put in a microSd card. The battery dies after few hours and is best experienced always plugged into a charger. It has only 32gb and was so full it was offloading apps to the cloud.

The S6 has 8gb mem and 256Gb storage, Plus a micro-sd slot to add mmmmmmore. The Kid likes her movies

I have used Apple products (because that is what my work provided and I had to use,) as well as Android products. I have adapted to both, but I think Android is more intuitive (for me) and thus ore user-friendly (for me.) I had to have my friend (who is an Apple product fan all the way) give me a "tutorial" in Apple products, and write everything down so I could follow it step-by-step. The Android I could just figure out.

if you put FarceBook on a phone, tablet or laptop , you might as well go to the crossroads as see what you are getting for your soul.

I do have macebook on this one computer, no where else, just for Seagull group and an old irc club.
I have it constained from free access. I also control the interface with F.B. Purity v19.0.1. 

I don't use my smartphone for phone calls. [audience gasps]  I think it is 58cents a min if I make one. I don't give out the number except for emergencies where my daughter goes. I do not have a Plan, just prepaid $10/month.
I do not answer numbers I don't recognize and never answer long distance. Rogers has initiated malformed number blocking, which I saw in action on weekend. 3 calls from 355 area code blocked after 2ed ring. (either Albania or Virginia, depends on country code)
I have no data plan. I  mostly use wi-fi when at mall or pool and Skype to message wife.

My wife's work provides her smartphones. She has gone through Sony-Ericssons, iPhones and now Samsung.  They offered employees no-names but no one fell for that. They also provide her secure, vpn'ed laptops.

phone?
I was talking about tablets at first

My iPad Pro is now nearly four years old. I use it on solo and band gigs, where it's on for three to five hours straight and still has about 70 - 80% battery life at the end. FWIW.
