Oh!

@kai Oh wow.
I reported in the Feedback app, that magically appeared and disappeared on my phone, that I know that they are purposely preventing me from upgrading to 18.7, which will render my iPhone 13 mini useless.
I’m taking full credit for it being suddenly available again 😉

@eWalthert @kai I upgraded my 13 mini to 26 a while ago and I can still do all the, mostly useless, things I do with my phone.

We should start a 13 mini club.

@vasilis @kai I heard from several people, that it completely drained their battery.
Now they have a codependent relationship with a battery-pack.

However I’m happy to be able to stay on 18.7 for a while.
And we should include 12 mini in the club, so @kupfers can be part of it.

mini = mini!

@eWalthert @vasilis @kai I have that battery pack interdependency anyway but happy if I don’t get less hours out of it for sure. I mainly don’t want to upgrade for the horrendous looks and usability. Already disliked all the changes to the Photos app etc in 18

@eWalthert @vasilis @kai @kupfers On mini, too. I refused updating (dislike liquid glass) but then I feared the security issues more. However, no noticeable worse battery performance for me. But: I disabled all transitions/visual effects and set the glass to „tinted“.

@kupfers @reimar @eWalthert Let’s just call it a small phone club.

@reimar @vasilis @kai @kupfers Indeed, I heard that to be a solution, from another Mini user too.
Good to hear, that I might be able to rock my Mini for a while longer.

@reimar @eWalthert @kai @kupfers Ooh thanks! I didn’t know about the tinted setting. Also some accessibility setting make it a bit less awful to look at: I checked show borders, reduce transparency and increase contrast.

@eWalthert @kai @kupfers Yes, a mini phone club sounds good
