A Bite of the Apple
As I alluded to back in this post a few months ago, I had considered getting an iPhone to replace my Windows Phone (which is quickly becoming more obsolete). Well, between then and now, a few more Windows apps I own fell by the wayside, and a stubborn error keeps happening with my Telegram app and (of all things) the Microsoft Word app that prevents either one from updating (the Telegram one is worse because, apparently, ALL Telegram replacement apps in the Windows Store can't be installed for some weird reason, and I can't uninstall the main Telegram app because of the error). So, when another app decided to be "unable to connect to the server", my patience has just about run out.
A while back, through various and sundry machinations and events, I managed to get my paws on a factory reset and unlocked iPhone 5S 64Gig. It's the only one of the 5-series to have a 64-bit processor like the 6-series and above; which means I'm able to get the iOS 11 upgrades (it's updates to iOS 11.0.3 as I type this). I've spent some time getting it set up, (manually) migrating contacts, and finding equivalent (and working) apps. I also managed to figure out the long, convoluted process of making my own ringtone. (2010 is ringing once again!)
I still have to make up my mind if I want to stay with Truecaller as my call blocking software, or take advantage of another one. I don't know if the iOS version is different from the Windows version. In the WP10 version, if a blocked caller calls again, they can still leave voice mail, which semi-defeats the purpose of BLOCKING a number.
Anyway, tomorrow will be the first full day of me using the iPhone, so I'll figure it out sooner rather than later.
