I have a I12, did not really want it but the I6 I had was crapping out.  So been dealing with the Lowest Version model of the 12 for 14 years.  6 only lasted 6.  Wife and SIL replaced theirs with I16s some time back, I refused, she noted well was Free, NO Extra Charges until next bill arrived, went UP $150 from paid for Phones they had traded up from.
Well to make a Short story more long and boring, Just received a new update, I still allow it as one time did not and had to go into a store to get phone turned back on as would not link to ATT Towers.  So as to the latest and greatest(NOT), All my Photos end up with an ADDED MOV they were NOT taken as, have to delete those only to see those return to the phone and tie up space every week.  Tried offloading ALL Pics, phone stopped talking to PC.  So called ATT and Apple; "Not Eithers Fault" Phone is Old, did not take update well, again Is NOT their Faults.  so started looking BACK to Flip Phones, was explained would void existing agreement for service from ATT and would have to Upgrade or Start a NEW Service but same number.  Walked Out.
Walked five doors down to Verizon, talked about keeping number, got a stumbling not discernable well maybe not as to my old ATT Number.  As MY Number is the Base Number for Billing on the Account the other two lose their service if I leave, and Verizon is uncertain I can take but one number of a contract without the others(4 as SIL has a Ipad with its own number)

Now just angry.

APPLE will not agree to review the phone and fix the FU, said NOT theirs to fix, ATT will not accept it.  And I have a phone working against me.  Seriously thinking gonna dump all Microsoft and Apple and move to LINUX PC as well a Verizon replacement program phone and number.  Will leave the contract run for the wife and SIL turn off the phone I have let the battery dry up so does not add any Data Time.
