Am not able to either perform or minimally perform some of the basic functions I was able to perform with my worst Android phone. Which I could return the phone and back out of the service contract without penalty!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This was a necessary change for me. The old iPhone needed new battery. The new iPhone 17 pro max is awesome. The battery life is incredible. The screen clarity is superb. I highly recommend.
My texts now lag and freeze up frequently. I was kicked out of my Facebook account and it took me 2 weeks to get it sorted out. There's really nothing exciting about it, and the problems are annoying. I would not recommend!
