I've been thinking about a new 'iPhone' lately but I've sort of had anxiety about it. I hadn't been thinking about having a new 'iPhone' at all as I'm happy with mine and it's good and I feel bad because I have lots of phone cases (mostly cheap ones but cool ones) that I haven't used yet even once because I don't know where they are and I need to get stuff organized. But I saw in the 'Best Buy' flyer last week I think that they have the 'iPhone XR' on a deal for a two year plan where you get it for free and get a 'Best Buy' gift card too! I've had an 'iPhone 6S' since the summer of 2016 as it was a high school graduation gift from my parents. So my contract was up this past summer so I can get into a new one I think. I thought it was a good deal in the flyer but I felt anxiety and felt bad to get another one as I have lots of cases to use on my 'iPhone 6S' and it won't fit the new ones (because of the location of the camera lens on the back and the new one having a whole glass screen with no button) which is really stupid and sucks but 'Apple' wants you to buy a new case for their new phones to make more money. So I tried to put it out of my mind as I don't need a new one but it's a good deal. Last week or two weeks ago the deal was the new phone for free on a two year contract and a $100 'Best Buy' gift card but this week I was just looking in the flyer for next week tonight and its the same deal but a $200 'Best Buy' gift card instead! It's good I didn't actually act on it a few weeks ago as now you can get $100 more in a gift card. I just thought about it and maybe I could use my 'iPhone' now for music mostly or only as its annoying how the new 'iPhone's don't have headphone jacks which is something that I like and I don't like how they make the new phones not have headphone jacks as you have to buy new headphones for it to work. I looked into that when I saw this deal a few weeks ago that you can actually get a headphone jack plug in thing that plugs into the charging output and 'Apple' actually puts them with all new 'iPhone's because of the outrage it caused. And there's something you can buy to plug into the new phones with two outlet things so that you can charge your phone and listen to music at the same time as the headphone jack thing goes into the charging hole so if you were listening to music with it you couldn't charge the phone at the same time too. I could maybe get that headphone jack thing sometime but I think I might use my old 'iPhone' to only play music on it or something. Then I could still use my old phone and all of the nice cases I have for it. I've learned now that you really don't need lots of phone cases lol. I've used one for two years on my phone that is still on it currently and its dirty and stuff but I've learned that you don't need like 50 phone cases. If I were to get this new phone I would just get one for now that I really like and not get many other ones for it later on. Thankfully the new 'iPhone's come as 64 GB as the smallest storage size which is what I have right now on my old phone, which is great and I didn't know that. When I got my 'iPhone 6S' the deal for getting it free was that it was 32 GB in size but I wanted a 64 GB size one so we had to pay a little more to get it. I was hesitant to get a new phone as deals would probably be for the smallest size in storage, but the smallest size is 64 GB for the new phones which is good. I am just unsure of what color I should get for the phone. There are several colors to choose from: black, white, red, blue, coral. I'm stuck between red and black. I've loved the look of the red phones ever since they made some phones available in red but black is the more sensible choice. I don't know what color I should get... I would go with red!

I think I've made the decision that if I were ever finally able to get an 'iPhone XR' I would get the red one. I think. I love it. I just worry about it being trendy as black is a sensible color.

DEAR JESUS I NEED A NEW PHONE! No space, battery's barely holding a charge, and my screen protector's cracked. Probably a couple more drops and my actual phone screen will crack... I wish I could figure out my space problem. I've gone through my camera roll a few times and deleted plenty of pictures and got rid of some apps I hardly use and NOTHING IS ENOUGH. WHAT NEXT, APPLE? DO YOU WANT A KIDNEY? AN EYE? DO I NEED TO SACRIFICE A GOAT OR SOME OTHER ANIMAL? And my battery, I swear it could be on 100% then I check the time or look at the weather or send a message and it's on 20%. Well, okay, it's not that bad but it was being sketchy yesterday. I don't think it uses the battery that much to send a message but gosh it went like 15%, 10%, 4%...and my phone's been shutting off once it gets to 6% or 7% but then sometimes, it'll last up until 1%. Idk man...

I am thinking about replacement my tablet. I am not sure about getting a Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e or a Apple iPad mini 4. My current Samsung Galaxy Tablet is showing it age. It is slow, unreliable and only 8GB of storage space. I planned to replace it last Christmas but I decided to hang on to it. I don't have the space for all the apps that I want.

I've used Android tablets and iPads blow them out the water, they're so much faster and run so smoothly. I think the difference is that Android software is built to work on so many different tablets that it ultimately makes them work not that well, whereas Apple are only designing software for one device meaning that it works really well.

Has anybody got any good recommendations/experiences on headphones? I’m looking for some new in-ear headphones. Been rolling with the Sennheiser CX300 II for a few years. They’re great, but mine broke and apparently they are not sold anymore. I’m also looking for some good headphones for my digital piano. I prefer one with a wire, since bluetooth doesn’t work with a piano.
Update: I managed to find another pair of the good old Sennheiser CX300 II. GREAT SUCCESS!!! Music is back in my life.

I bought an 'Apple Watch 4' ( 44mm size and in space grey with a black sport wrist band) yesterday from 'Best Buy'. I had been thinking about it for a while and I wasn't sure if I should get it or not because money gets tight but I saw in a flyer there was a sale at a store that had $60 off it and I saw it was at another store too, and 'Best Buy' didn't have it on sale so I went there yesterday and they price match it and beat the price difference by 10% so I got $66 off it in total. I thought between getting silver and sport grey but for some stupid reason hardly any stores have any silver watches in stock in store (maybe one kind but it wasn't the one I wanted) and every store had sport grey/black so I got space grey (it looks like black). I wasn't going to buy it for full price so it spurred me to buy it when it was on sale (I saw they were on sale in a flyer on Thursday before yesterday). I like it and it's cool. I feel a little bad for buying it, I hope it was a good decision. I had been thinking about an 'iMac' desktop computer for quite a while but they're like 4 times more expensive than the watch so I'd have to save money for it.

Oh loooooooord I thought I was about to have to get a new MP3 player last night! I was going to sync my iPod and...nothing. At first, I thought it was my cord so I plugged my phone in to an outlet and it worked. Plugged my iPod in to the outlet, nothing again. Then I thought it must be the lightning port on my iPod because I accidentally hit my iPod when it was on its dock on a door a few months ago and it has been weird ever since. But I synced my iPod a month or two ago and it worked so I was like maybe it's not the port. Tried a new cord just now and HALLELUJAH! My sister's cat, Toph, chewed on it a little and Shadow usually leaves it alone but he also chewed on it and I guess that did something. Although it's been charging my phone just fine...but, problem solved, and now I have new music on my iPod to listen to. c:

I don't know if anyone has heard that a new 'Tamagotchi' toy thing called 'Tamagotchi On' will be released soon. I was thinking about getting it. I loved 'Tamagotchi's when I was younger and I had at least 5 of them. But these ones are steep in price...It's $60 USD or $80 CAD...They offer four colors and I'm not sure what color I'd get. Green is my favorite color out of the four colors but I don't know if I like how it looks. I'd maybe get blue if I didn't get green. www.bandai.com/tamagotchi

I found that the original tamagotchi's were also steep in price. I never saw one that was less than $40.

I'd maybe get blue if I didn't get green. www.bandai.com/tamagotchiI kept forgetting to post this but I got one last Friday ( July 12th)! I ended up getting the blue one at my local 'EB Games' store. They were pretty bad in the store and wouldn't ask if you needed help so I looked around and I finally found them myself - only two of them on the bottom shelf of some middle shelf thing. If they were trying to sell them they'd put them out in the open. I guess they didn't want to sell them then. There were only two there - blue and purple. I thought about it but I got the blue one. I asked if those were the only ones there and they said yes and they just came in the day before. They must not have gotten many at all then or some people came and bought some the day before or before I was there. I haven't opened it yet because I've been busy but I will and see what it's like.

Just gotta suffer one more month and then, hopefully, I can get a new phone! If I have the same storage problems with it, I'll cry, because I'd rather jump off a cliff than switch to an Android. My current phone, I have to turn it off and back on sometimes because it freezes but the problem with that is, if I'm texting someone and they respond while my phone is off, I don't get the message. Very frustrating.

Okay, I KNOW I AM OLD FASHIONED, but does anyone know a good library for music? iTunes is bowing out soon so that's not an option. I've got Sony's 'MediaGo' at the moment. It's alright but once this laptop carks it, which is probably not far off... 😬, I'd like to try something different.
