IFR (she/her)So now she has an <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/iPhone13ProMax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iPhone13ProMax</a> complete with tempered glass screen protector.But because she can’t afford a new phone and I pay for her <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/SIMonly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SIMonly</a> contract, what she actually has is my phone.And I have upgraded to the <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/iPhone15ProMax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#iPhone15ProMax</a> on my unlimited contract. We’re both happy and mine was a doddle to transfer/set up because I KNOW MY PASSWORDS. (Apple ID and Google.
