Phone

Unlike many others, I enjoy using iOS and the Apple Ecosystem. Do I trust Apple more than other vendors? Probably, yes. However, in recent months, I’ve noticed that my smartphone use has become quite minimal. It’s mostly for phone calls, text messages, online banking, payments while out in the city, navigation, podcasts, music, and quick web searches while on the go.
There’s no home automation, no elaborate workflows, no scanning, no gaming—just an overwhelming number of notifications I should probably disable to reduce distractions. Speaking of distractions, you might want to check out [Decluttering your phone and turning off those nasty notifications](Decluttering your phone and turn off thos nasty notifications). It’s not entirely my work but rather a collection of articles I found.
Now, let’s move on to the list of phones I’ve owned, starting from the most recent ones I can remember.
iPhone 15 Pro
iPhone 13 Pro
iPhone 11
Previous Phones
Here are some of the earlier phones I owned and remember. The Siemens devices stood out for their long standby times, reliability, and simplicity, though they weren’t particularly durable. The Nokia E71 remains one of the best organizer or “smarter” phones I’ve used—great keyboard, excellent software, but its biggest flaw was the lack of dust protection between the keyboard and screen.
