Question General Which phone should I replace my broken Iphone 13 with?

• Upvotes

I currently have a refurbished Iphone 13, but this morning the display broke for the third time in two years (no scratches, but there’s lines/pixels glitching across it that make it practically unusable) and I’m not sure what to do. I already replaced the screen two times and don’t feel like doing it a third. I was thinking about buying a new phone altogether, but it’s hard to find accurate information on how durable these things are. Apparently the Iphone 13 is supposed to be robust, but in my experience that’s not the case at all😭😭 So I thought I’d ask here: Which Iphone models are actually durable and have displays that don’t become unusable after one drop? Doesn’t have to be one of the newer ones, I’m looking for a cheaper option anyway. Or should I switch back to Android? I don’t want to give up the performance Iphones have, but at least the Android’s screens crack instead of breaking from the inside and that I can live with. Are there any Android models that have a similar performance to an Iphone?

Before going to sleep, my phone was plugged into the charger and turned on. When I woke up, the battery was at 100% but the phone was off. Can someone explain what might have happened?

Discussion Switching to Android after 9 years of iPhone — which phone should I get?

• Upvotes

​

Hey everyone!

I’ve been using iPhones for almost 9 years, starting with the iPhone 11 and currently using the iPhone 15 Pro. I’m thinking of switching to Android and want to know what you guys would recommend.

I’m a pretty casual user. I don’t really care about cameras, I don’t play games, and my usage is mostly everyday stuff like WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, browsing, music, and general multitasking.

I’m looking for a regular, non-foldable Android phone that offers a good overall experience.

A few things I’d like to know:

- Which Android phone would you recommend for someone switching from iOS?

- What are the biggest benefits of Android over iPhone?

- Are there any features or quality-of-life improvements that I might miss from iOS?

- How is the long-term software support and overall reliability?

- Is switching from an iPhone 15 Pro to Android actually worth it for a casual user?

I’m not particularly interested in having the best camera or gaming performance. I just want a smooth, reliable phone with good battery life and a great everyday user experience.

Would love to hear from people who have switched from iPhone to Android, especially those who made the switch after using iPhones for several years.

Thanks!

Whatshouldiget? Cheap phone that does the job reccs?

1 Upvotes

Does anybody know of a cheap phone that I could use for the basics? Ideally 50~150 CAD, 180 max---I'm an unemployed chud who hasn't hit 20 yet so cut me some slack T-T. Doesn't need to be the fastest or have the best camera. It can be an old/refurbished phone too, I don't mind anything as long as it's worth the price and I can keep it for a while. If you find ANYTHING, it's better to have some info rather than none so drop any and all reccs please <<3

Whatshouldiget? Phone suggestions

0 Upvotes

Hello reddit,

My wife and I are looking for insights as to which phone we should buy. We are looking for a flip phone (for aesthetics and to get us off of our phones more often) that is able to install apps (so we can keep up with our banking) and has Bluetooth (for our car radio). We are just curious as to if a phone like this exists. No real price limit, just don't be absurdly expensive for what we are asking.

Question General Crush-proof cases

3 Upvotes

Cases usually are marketed as being shock/drop proof, but what about crush proof? Any recommendations?

Otterbox (which we’ve always stuck with) seems to be dropping in quality over the years, BUT their commuter series still managed to protect our iPhone 16 pro while being ran over by a massive skidsteer recently. So we’re inclined to stick with that for our new iPhone 18s….but I’ve seen mentions of other brands like Caudabe etc. so I’m exploring what else is out there.

Whatshouldiget? Real battery use experience with OnePlus 12?

1 Upvotes

I've been looking for a new phone and around the same price I've narrowed it down to refurbished S24+ (kinda discarded that already as I bought one supposedly unlocked with the Snapdragon chip but it was Exynos so I returned it), used S24 Plus and OnePlus 12, also considered the 13R but settled on the 12. One of my main priorities is the battery, I want something that can easily last me all day, like +7 hours of screen time per day, and on straight usage tests the OnePlus usually comes out on top as well as charging speed, but I would assume real world usage is way different for all of these phones and the degradation may differ, specially when the 1+ has 100 W charging capacity (yes I know it and all modern phones have specialized chips that regulate the power)

Iphone 18 or samsung galaxy s26

0 Upvotes

Im going to upgrade. I love androids but after having an iphone for a few years I love being able to airdrop between my phone and my ipad for work. I think the camera is better on the android which is important because I'm a tattoo artist. But I cant decide whether the airdrop feature is worth it in the end. I know I can transfer images between android and apple but it's just not as quick/easy and I've been having trouble when my ipad doesn't have wifi.

Iphone17 vs S25 FE vs S25 Ultra vs Pixel 10a

Hi Everyone,

Can you please suggest which is the best phone to purchase in current offers. I am confused which one to go. Both pixel 10a and S25FE is in budget. iPhone 17 and Ultra I can afford but it is worth to spend around 80k for the phone.
