Well, I really bought last Friday (9/24/21) but I wait several days to execute the migration over from my really good Xs due to last weekend being pretty busy. It was also my first time doing the iPhone-to-iPhone migration since I stopped tethering my iPhone to my portable; not by choice, an update to make iTunes work with the iPhone crippled the legacy version of Garage Band, a deal breaker. Anyway, the migration didn’t take as long as I projected given all the crap I had. I was also pleased in what little I had to re-enter on the new 13 to be back to the functional state I had been: re-entering my credit and debit cards was a given, the facial recognition on a few apps and I did move the SIM card immediately.
So why did I get caught up in the blitz for the first time? Well, my employer offered it on the release day at the discount I get, I did the math for how much I’d get back for my old iPhone to offset cost. Plus I thought the blue would be groovy and having the storage space quadrupled to 256 GB would be sweet. The primary reason for going Pro was the camera. I’m not a great picture-taker (photographer is for people who seriously into it, I’m not) but I attend numerous concerts, book signings and conventions so I want to keep making the memories for my Brushes with Greatness section closer to immaculate. The additional space will come in handy should Kathy and I ever return to making new puppet movies. We had a new skit for them and then the morons know as Red Amerika and MAGAts just had to keep this mess rolling.
Meanwhile, enjoy the first two photos I took. My very photogenic cats. Isis demonstrating her recent trend of having Resting Grumpy-Cat Face as she ages and Agamemnon being in my lap saying, “I’m ready for my close up Hoo-Man!”
