Plus, since I am seriously thinking about keeping them longer, I think I would like to have bases covered and not face pressure to upgrade because of running out of space.

I am currently fighting a battle on too little space on my 23 ultra. I got a 512gb. The only reason I almost upgraded to 26 was because of space issues. I have about 24 gigs free at the moment. And every time I look up, some of that disappears and it goes down 13. I delete files. It goes up. A...

No. But...that seems to be becoming rarer, noting that enthusiasts who hang here a lot are not necessarily the most typical. :p I used to be on a 2-year cycle. I vowed to make it 3. This year would be that 3, but I'm unenthused with 26 and still happy with 23U. I think I can pass again. I did...

Wow. That's a lot of drop-off. I guess when you need it and it's an emergency, it's a nice option--I do always like options--but like you, I'd avoid that whenever possible. Have to say, I'm loving magsafe. I don't have to carry cables on my 10s. (Even the non-mag Anker 20 I have kept has a...

That's great, but every time they come out with a new number I feel like I have to throw away my external battery packs. And I just went magsafe. ;) What's the word on how this speed affects battery life?

Was wondering about that. Makes sense and seems to be a complete answer.

None, and just a film screen protector. What's your cat been doing to your phone?[emoji13]

You know, I don't think I've ever bought an unlocked phone! I've unlocked some after. Now I'm suddenly thinking. Always dangerous to be sure. But if say you buy an unlocked phone and you're a T-Mobile customer, there are some T-Mobile features like the video voicemail that are useful that I...

Wait a few months, check out what happens on Swappa in New ones. But at this point I think I'm keeping my 23 ultra. Samsung needs to give me some reason to upgrade. Bored now

Conversely, I am getting more reluctant to upgrade. I still like my 23 ultra. [emoji1] I think I need more incentives not fewer.

That is just what I just did at U Break We Fix. It cost about $97 including tax. It was well worth it, not that I had a choice because the battery was proving defective. It refurbished the device in essence. I am inclined to keep this 23U another year at this point. I am pretty much content...

No issues here...

So, recently decided to go MagSafe. I love the kickstands, the wireless charging. Anker's had built-in emergency cables, too. Bought that one (a 10k, my sweet spot for portability). Nice sale price too at the time. Decided to get another, but sales were not in progress any more. Price had ticked...

It tells me the last update was November 2025 and it checked December 25th 2025. There are no other updates apparently available. That is not the case with my phone, which reports of December 1st security update, but that's what my tablet is telling me.

I have run into this a couple of times over the years while copying a large amount of data. I am not entirely sure why myself but I do have some theories. On some occasions I thought maybe my cable connection wasn't perfect. On others I found some files I was trying to copy needed to be renamed...
