I have done the same. Great experience.

TFW you hear people talking about flying somewhere on points then paying for the way back. And then you hear them sayings it’s on another continent.

Good luck with that.

Also if it ain't Boeing I'm not going :p

I was at the Panorama Terrace at AMS recently and really enjoyed the detour.

For some business related demo/test reasons, I'm being asked if I want a new work phone. The selection is somewhat constrained to one of the new iPhones.

Since I'm coming off an SE (yeah, really and still the best form factor Apple ever produced IMHO), I'm leaning towards the XS for it's slightly smaller size/weight. But does anyone who has either the XS or VR care to share their thoughts?

In the same boat. Would love thoughts on XR v XS.

The Razr 4 looks kinda cool.

I used to think the larger form factor was too big. Now, I’d never consider going back to the smaller form factors.

XS Max all the way.

A quick google will show you the differences...if work is paying, why not go with the best model?

I would need to pay the difference. And I'm cheap. And poor. Rich in love on account of the 6 2/3 kids, but poor as bleep on account of the 6 2/3 kids. :p

Understood. Then go with the “free” model. No need to pay the difference especially when you have almost 7 kids to support.

Congratulations by the way. That’s amazing.

Hey, thanks.

I was being silly anyway. I am tremendously blessed and spend enough time abroad to know that our version of "poor" is not even remotely so.

Blessed indeed. My first born is just over 16 months now. He gives me so much joy....it’s truly the best feeling in the world.

Your son is also a date destroyer. We know because we've seen him pull all his cutesy moves on the ladies. 😂

Careful. You'll end up with a whole pile of wingmen.
