We needed new cell phones. Well, to be truthful, Karen really needed a new phone. Her iPhone 4 was SO SLOW. We were actually in the mall in Seattle back in July to get them when I happened to mention that Apple would release their NEW phones in September. At that point it seemed silly to be buying a new phone. So, we left.
Fast forward to the day of the release of the new iPhones by Apple, today September 19th, and we are standing in a line at an AT&T store in the Mall of America waiting to have our turn at getting new phones.
Believe me, it was better than waiting in the Apple Store line.
The wait was 90 minutes. The process of buying the phone was 80 minutes. Really. But we're retired and had the time and the thought of having to wait 2 more months for them to get new phones was not a pleasant one.
AT&T was offering $200 in merchandise for each OLD phone you turn in. Karen's iPhone 4 was only worth $50 online so we gave them the phone and got a Beats Pill Bluetooth speaker and a couple of phone screen protectors. Great deal for us. Goodbye old phone.
After lunch in the mall we came back to the RV park. It was time to do laundry. Easy at home...just walk down the stairs. Since we haven't decided yet whether to put a washer/dryer unit in the 5th wheel we have to drag our dirty clothes to the laundromat.
Fortunately, this park has washers and dryers onsite. We got 3 loads done and then it's time for dinner.
After dinner we play with our phones for the evening, getting them configured the way we like and with the apps we need.
They are fast. We are happy.
Just don't put it into your pocket so it bends. The new IOS is the bomb if you ask me.
