new phones are in da house!

Feb 12, 2026

We switched from AT&T to T-mobile and our new phones arrived yesterday. I’ll post soon about our experience, but today, it’s all about the phones.

Perry’s not a loyal Apple fan like I am — he jumped the track and went back to Android this time around. I stuck with the trusty iPhone. Ben kept with Android and Samsung but his phone has not yet made it here.

How much of an upgrade was it, you ask?

I went from the iPhone 14 Pro Max to the 17 Pro Max and to be honest, there are a few improvements but it’s not far and above better than what I had. Of course, we didn’t unbox until around 10:00 PM last night, so once I have time today to dive in, I might change my mind.

Hugo’s not especially impressed with the camera upgrade, but I think I might be…

Hugo isn't impressed.

More soon on the “switch” experience, but I’m going to give T-Mobile time to see if they do what they said they would. I will tell you that if you port phone numbers from one carrier to another, it’s not always easy — and my experience certainly took more than 10 minutes.


Now you know: The Tuesday before Valentine’s Day is the most common break-up day of the year. (If you’re still with your partner, you’re probably safe until 2027.)
