Well that's great news! I joined the wait-list last week and got an email saying they'd get back to me when I could get access.

I was unaware that it was supposed to transfer chat history. It's never once done it for me. I assumed it was like other platforms I've used where it doesn't sync your history unless you backup and restore.

Beeper looks amazing but is waiting list only.

Yes, but at the very end, and humans are unfortunately known to only half-dead titles and then run with it haha.

I love Dave's Garage! Great channel.

Anecdotally, I have to say iPhone seems to have terrible battery life. My wife and several friends all have had the last few iPhones and they seem to be charging their phones all the time. At least every night but often during the day as well. My Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ was amazing. Like 1.5 days of battery. Then I got my Google Pixel 6 Pro and 7 Pro and it blew my mind. I go 2+ days on a charge no problem.

I suppose to be fair I use my phone more like I did my BlackBerry back in the day, whereas they all use TikTok and stuff fairly frequently.

I love the iPhone hardware. Especially the mini.

But I really don't like iOS. Or the lightning connector.

Same thing with Macs.

Overall I think Apple makes gorgeous hardware but the software just isn't for me.

I always tell people the best phone (or best one iPhone vs Android) is whatever is best for them.

My wife loves her iPhone and everything about it, and that's okay!

That's the boat I'm in, so to speak! If you know of any good sysadmin or IT related communities out here, I'd very much so appreciate some recommendations!
