I love this phone. It is just over 5 years since I’ve had it. Bought it from new back in fall 2020. It has been fantastic and still is. I love the size and form factor. Performance is great and has not slowed down. My battery is at 80% capacity now. ...

does anybody have one with official iOS 26? i dont know when these phones got it

I love this phone but for some reason my ones battery degraded down to 86% battery health in less than a year, I bought it as an apple certified refurbished.
