Tinkering with new!phone.

Good: very snappy (no surprise, one model line “up” + 4-5 years newer, plus usual “new/empty computer always faster” effect. Still!), beautiful screen, iOS 26 only about one third visual shitshow so far (reduced transparency on ofc), camera insanely good esp in low light, extra side buttons very handy.

Most importantly, not scratched (yet) and main side button works (for now).

Bad: TOO BIG. Literally hurts to use, even with two hands. TBD if I get used to it like everyone says or if it becomes a fun new RSI vector; most everyone do not have my nearly child-sized hands 😝
