I am looking at the iPhone Air. Advantages would be that it is lighter and a new battery. Like you, everything on this phone will be put into the new one via the Cloud.

Mine was replaced due to (its) age. Started not to be able to access certain apps and the like as the OS couldn’t be updated.

I had a job 20 odd years ago and most of my clients were in the Middle East, they were a bit demanding to say the least and if they wanted some information during their working day or on a Sunday they expected an email response within 15 minutes.
Smart phones were in their early days and my work phone was a Blackberry with a key pad
Typing an email to Qatar Rail on the possibly of having a complete new rail system in place for the 2020 footie at 3am using keys that were too small for my fingers was enough to make me think that phones do not do very much to enrich my life.
This could have been a big mistake and there are days when I feel like I am being left behind when tickets, banking and everything else seems to be on phones.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, the company I was with launched lap top, GRID, computers to the sales force in the late '80's with cell phones soon afterwards. This coupled with voice mail effectively kept us at hand 24/7.
I recall cellular calls were .25 cents per minute. I had an Oki phone with a car top antenna.
No complaints since this forced me to adopt computers into my life and transfer the technology to my family. I got the older children pagers which came in handy often.

I remember mobile phone calls costing 50p per minute, and it was charged by the minute, so a 10 second call cost 50p. I remember Orange announcing that they were going to charge by the second instead.

Man. in NAPA(wish that name tag was still around)... 1 of the higher-ups a good guy... had asked us for our cellphone# & why we didn't have the email app connected to the system for just confirming info... you have our home# & the stores#s... leave a mesaage & we'll call you back... if the company's system needs confirmations... the company has to supply us with whatever to do confirmations... in the system it calls the store's# we're at... you know the place we go to do work to get an ok paycheck... we'll make a deal right now... you authorize my pay to 18hours a day... get me a cellphone NAPA pays for & i'll shake your hand right now... we got a giggle & i can't do that... & my stare back at him had he just walked away....
