Ah, yes, but once I open that box, all of the fun of anticipating will be over. But of course, you are right, though. I do have other iPhones that I'm using in the meantime. Believe it or not, although I finally did open and sometimes use the iPhone SE 2020 that I ordered and received on the first available date, it took me a few months before I unwrapped it, and I'm just not quite ready to unveil my Mini yet, and I ordered and received it when it was first available as well.
I'm mostly using the original iPhone SE and an iPhone 7 at present. In the end, my sister didn't want the old SE, so I just decided to keep it. Some of you may recall that I had asked on here last year about giving it to her with a maximum battery capacity of 80 percent. Well, now the battery has a maximum capacity of 68 percent and I have to charge it at least three times during a 24 hour period, unless I use it for standby only, but it otherwise works great. I can tell, though, how much slower it is than even my iPhone 7 when trying to access large or complicated web sites. But since I live out in the country and don't intend to pay cab fare somewhere to get the battery replaced, this works for me for now, although I'll likely surprise myself and start using my new iPhones at some point. ----- Original Message ----- From: Alan Lemly <wale...@gmail.com> To: "viphone@googlegroups.com" <viphone@googlegroups.com> Date: Wednesday, April 14, 2021 12:37 pm Subject: Re: SE 2020 question > > > Hi Vicky, > > > One thing is for sure, you aren't going to learn about your iPhone 12 Mini by > leaving it in the box. > > > Alan Lemly > > > Sent from my iPhone with Outlook for iOS > > > > From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> on behalf of Vicky > Collins <vcollins5...@gmail.com> > Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2021 11:20:08 AM > To: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> > Subject: Re: SE 2020 question > > One of these days, I really do need to unbox my iPhone 12 Mini.
