ೃ⁀➷ Baby My Phone
Tumblr media
type: headcanons
listen to me yap about what phones i’d think twst characters would have.
2.2k words
Characters: NRC students
Tumblr media
╰┈➤ Riddle
Uses a landline.
╰┈➤ Ace
He uses an iPhone but it’s one of those broken, screen protector hanging off, yellow clear case iPhone 8s.
He still thinks his phone is better than an Android and refuses to switch.
His wallpaper is one of those with a massive Nike tick and a “just do it” in a neon red camouflage pattern.
He hasn’t changed it since he was 12.
-2/10
╰┈➤ Deuce
He has a Samsung for sure.
It’s not one of the most expensive ones like an S24 Ultra but it’s reliable.
He’s got a pretty average phone case. It’s navy blue and heavy-duty, making his phone practically indestructible.
His wallpaper is probably yellow with a cartoonish picture of a chick breaking out of an egg.
Pretty simple.
Distinguished taste for an equally distinguished gentleman.
9/10
╰┈➤ Trey
He has a Samsung S10.
I don’t know why, but he just does.
I can also see him using one of those grandpa wallet cases where he carries everything inside.
His phone case doubles as a purse with the bits and bobs he puts in there.
It’s literally a fanny pack that just happens to have space to hold a phone.
Need a napkin? Hold on, let him get it from his phone case real quick.
It’s really handy but a little ridiculous with the amount of stuff he carries in there.
The battery life is hammered thanks to the hours of temple run his siblings play on it whenever he goes home for holidays.
His wallpaper is probably a picture of his siblings, which is cute.
4/10.
Would be higher if it wasn’t for the silly wallet case.
╰┈➤ Cater
We’ve already seen his phone multiple times in game, so I don’t think I have much to say.
His wallpaper is bold, like the phone case he uses.
It’s not exactly ugly, but it definitely suits him.
It’s just not something most people would want to put on their phones.
He’s 100% an iPhone user but he’s the type that gets the new model that comes out every year.
Either that or he’s using one of his sister’s hand-me-downs that’s an iPhone 13. (just like me fr).
6/10
If it wasn’t for that peculiar phone case, I’d rate it higher.
╰┈➤ Leona
I can see him using a Samsung S24 Ultra.
He barely uses it, though.
Most of the time, he tosses the phone at his nephew to keep him distracted when he sees him at home.
Because of that, he’s got a home screen full of kids' mobile games like Talking Tom and Subway Surfers.
The phone’s got a small crack in the screen from when Cheka dropped it but it wasn’t a big deal so Leona never bothered to get it fixed or replaced.
He’s got a leopard print phone case and his wallpaper is a selfie Reggie took with him sleeping and set it on his lock screen that he never bothered to change.
7/10
Again, the phone case is a no from me.
╰┈➤ Ruggie
He uses a Samsung too.
It’s an older model, like an S10+.
It’s a gift from Leona that he tossed at Ruggie one day.
Ruggie is pretty grateful for it since he was wondering how he’d contact his grandmother back at home without a phone since he wouldn’t be able to get a durable one until a while of saving up.
He takes pretty good care of it and there’s no scratches or cracks.
His wallpaper matches the selfie of himself and Leona that he set as the latter’s lock screen.
He got himself a heavy-duty phone case just to make sure it doesn’t get damaged.
10/10.
Totally not biased.
╰┈➤ Jack
He’s an iPhone user, probably sporting an iPhone 12 Pro Max. You can’t blame him for needing a large phone when he’s got pretty big hands.
He uses a clear case that’s somehow got no yellowing to it and his phone is green. It’s got a pretty wrecked battery life thanks to the younger sibling x phone syndrome.
His little sister killed the battery life with her 500 cumulative hours on Roblox and Among Us.
He doesn’t really mind since he doesn’t use his phone more than like 4 times a day.
8/10
Pretty cool.
╰┈➤ Azul
A tasteful Samsung user.
He’s one of those people who thinks iPhones are a scam and refuses to buy into it, like the classy businessman he is.
(he just has no idea how to use one).
Idk if Merfolk have waterproof phones or just communicate with echolocation but let’s pretend that the fish people have phones too.
He sports a Samsung Z Flip5 in lavender. He also has a baby blue phone case with a little seashell on it.
The twins tease him about his cutesy design choice but he shrugs it off since he knows it looks good.
It’s a shame he rarely uses the phone when he’s not going to send emails, do schoolwork and post on the lounge’s social media, though.
He also watches food ASMR videos. His wallpaper is a picture of the sea in the usual daytime lighting.
10/10
Very nice
╰┈➤ Jade
Another Android Avenger using a Samsung S22 in sage green.
His phone is in pretty good condition.
Though, he’s got a few spots of soil trapped between his screen protector and the end of his phone case.
There’s only like a single, tiny crack on his screen protector for dropping it on the floor face first when in the Botanical Garden talking to his little plants.
Can’t really blame him since he looks up tutorials when handling new spores. His phone case is transparent with (you guessed it) a pattern of little mushrooms littered on the back.
His wallpaper is a pic of him and Floyd when they were in their first year at NRC. It’s a strangely cute phone for someone as shady as Jade.
7/10
Nice, but the mushrooms r kinda overkill.
╰┈➤ Floyd
His phone doesn’t have a single crack on it.
He’s someone who takes really good care of his stuff and has a bunch of screen protectors since he knows how prone he is to dropping and accidentally throwing his phone.
His battery is fried tho since he’s notorious for playing a bunch of those silly mobile games like Fill the Fridge or Crowd City.
When he isn’t tormenting people with his deadly hugs, he’s sat perched in a corner gargoyle style with his eyes glazed over as he plays Block Blast with a score of 10,000.
Floyd’s pretty diverse with his phone case and he changes it depending on how he feels that day. Most of the time, he goes for his pale green one with an eel drawing on it, like the bag he used during the Camp Vargas event.
His wallpaper is either matching with Jade’s or a random photo of the sea he took a few days ago.
10/10
Very cool
╰┈➤ Kalim
Gets the newly released iPhone every year.
He’s not that bad though, since he gives his old one to his sibling and they pass it on to the next sibling like One For All.
His phone has no cracks on it too. He makes sure to take good care of it since he knows it’s gonna be his younger sibling’s phone in about a year and he doesn’t want them to have to use a broken phone.
He’s just nice like that. His phone case is orange with little peach circles dotted all around the back.
He’s another notorious mobile gamer with his number 1 game being Where’s My Water. His lock screen is a particularly nice-looking spread from one of the many parties he’s had over at his dorm.
10/10
Kalim is the best
╰┈➤ Jamil
Humble Samsung S21 user.
He may or may have not opted for this brand out of spite after Kalim suggested he get an iPhone so they could easily AirDrop stuff to each other.
(Quick Share is better anyway)
Isn’t much of a mobile gamer but he’s found a second home on AITA communities on Reddit.
I don’t make the rules, I just enforce them.
Jamil’s wallpaper is either something pretty like the sunset at his dorm or something silly like a selfie he took doing face masks with his sister.
As per sibling rules, however, he always makes sure to change his second lock screen any time he goes home.
She can’t know that he cares that much.
1000/10
Jamil favouritism.
╰┈➤ Vil
iPhone 15 pro max ultra mega sigma plus plus premium user.
Sometimes he has to record videos on his phone, so he needs one with the best camera and screen refresh rate possible.
It’s scary how he has no games on his phone except Wordscapes.
Believes screen time is terrible for your skin (is it?) and refuses to spend more than an hour on it outside of updating his different social media accounts.
His phone has no cracks and he hates greasy screens so best believe he’s got a glass cleaner wipe tucked into his pocket everywhere he goes.
His phone case is purple with a pop socket in the shape of a gold crown. His wallpaper is a picture of himself (ofc it is) from his favourite photoshoot.
6/10
Vil
╰┈➤ Rook
Samsung Soldier.
Rook uses a hefty Samsung Fold5.
Sometimes he needs a phone to do phone stuff and sometimes he needs a tablet to view a proper sized map of NRC for various uses I will not elaborate on for legal reasons.
When Vil takes away Epel’s phone, I imagine Rook allows Epel to use his phone to play Subway Surfers or Roblox.
Lives risky life and doesn’t use a case or a screen protector.
His phone somehow isn’t shattered especially after the billion times it’s fallen to the ground at the speed of light when he watches people from trees.
His lock screen is a Pinterest collage of Vil. 5/10
Vil
I refuse to elaborate
╰┈➤ Epel
Cracked Samsung S9.
Been using the same phone since he was 12 and refuses to let it go.
Anytime he falls, the phone disassembles and his battery goes flying.
He has to do a walk of shame each time to pick up his battery and put it back inside his phone.
Sometimes he stays up until 3 am playing COD mobile with Deuce and hides his phone under his pillow every time Vil opens his door to make sure the first years are asleep.
His wallpaper is a really cute selfie with him and the rest of the first year group. No phone case.
9/10
The battery thing is sadly relatable
╰┈➤ Idia
He uses a Samsung S24 Ultra.
Perfect mix of amazing performance as well as free rein to go into developer mode or download any 3rd party apps and modded games as much as he wishes.
Strongly believes Android is better.
When he isn’t raging at kids on Fortnite, he’s hidden in a corner of his room reading fanfic on AO3.
He will not tell a soul why his screen time shows that he has 6 hours every day on Samsung internet.
His phone case, I imagine would be a basic black with a little doodle of a cat on the back.
His wallpaper would be a pic of his PC setup when he thought it looked particularly cool.
10/10
Super techy.
╰┈➤ Ortho
He is the phone.
╰┈➤ Malleus
Uses a landline.
╰┈➤ Lilia
He has an iPhone 14 and no one can tell me it isn’t Kuromi-themed.
I’m talking lock screen, phone case, home screen, widgets, and icons.
It’s the black and pink/purple pallette that they both sport that makes my brain associate the two.
He’s got a few cracks and scratches from when he hangs upside down and his phone crashes to the ground like a missile.
One of his other lock screens is a pic of Silver when he was a baby and walking for the first time.
Don’t tell Silver, though.
8/10
Super cute.
╰┈➤ Silver
Lilia got him an iPhone 14 too so they could AirDrop things to each other and FaceTime every day for the year Lilia was at NRC without Silver.
Other than that, Silver rarely uses his phone.
His sleep timer is through the roof since he hibernates for most of the day.
He’s got a plain black phone case and everything on his phone is at default settings.
Including home and lock screens.
6/10
Very normal
╰┈➤ Sebek
Wanted to be cool like Malleus and have no phone since he does not wish to partake in the use of technology of human invention.
Instantly takes back that statement once he was out with the Diasomnia dorm and got lost in a marketplace.
Lilia and co had spent hours looking for him. After that, Lilia got him one of those “my first phone” gadgets for kids where the only contact numbers are emergency services and parents and the “parents” can easily access his location.
That way, they can prevent any accidents that creates their very own “Finding Sebek” franchise.
5/10
Very silly.

batfam and phones:
dick- iphone user and annoying about it. literally the worst omg. speaker phone all the time good luck calling him to have a private conversation because it's gonna be all over town by the end of the day, possibly even the next city over depending on where he is. and he always wants to face time! you text him to ask a simple yes/no question and all you get back is 'ft me' like come onnnnnn bro 😩.
jason- based android user 🤪💖. does NOT vibe with how far phones have come since he died. no he does not wanna talk to the robot phone lady NO he is not giving the phone his fingerprint or letting it scan his face you are crazy you are weird what is wrong with you. he sucks so bad at facetime too he just doesn't get it. he also thinks airpods are stupid <3
tim- the kind of iphone user that should really get an android. refuses to put a case on his phone because he's a menace to society and his own wallet. it's actually so tragic because if anyone could get the most out of those fancy iphone camera features it would be tim but nooooooooo he dropped his phone from the top of the dinosaur in the batcave last week and now the only thing he can do on it is tell siri to call people 😒.
steph- iphone user but hot? idk. shes on her third pair of airpods this month but she would rather die than buy a wire headphone adapter. her phone is always goingoff because she's in every groupchat ever and she sets so many alarms but forgets why she set them in the first place. uses air drop for nefarious purposes (a rare win for jason nation on the phone front 🥳).
ex: (most embarrassing highlight reel of all time. if you didn't think she saw you you're wrong because she did 💖)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
duke- iphone user because bruce bought him his phone. he didn't wanna be rude! if he wasn't so worried about hurting bruce's feelings he'd switch to android so fast. will leave you on read intentionally as well as unintentionally it's his fatal flaw 💔. he's just not a big texter! he thinks about how to respond and then forgets to actually type it out and send it. you'd have better luck in a group chat rather than messaging him directly. his ringtone is probably some naruto op lol.
cass- also subjected to iphone because bruce bought her phone but she doesn't really care because she prefers being face to face anyway. do not call her she hates talking on the phone and she will not answer. she'll watch the phone ring and then text you after to get her point across. uses airdrop for good (jason nation loses once again 😔).
ex:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
bruce- iphone user but doesn't care about the whole debate. most of his kids have iphones so he has one to make getting in touch with them easier (sorry jason lol 🤭). sets his phone up on a stand so whenever you ft him he looks like he's in a zoom meeting. responses to texts are either entire essays or a simple 'k'. there is no in between.
damian- another bruce appointed iphone user who could not care less. also absolutely terrible at facetime. him and jason get it from talia 💖. tbh the only things he uses his phone for are, setting alarms, googling things for homework assignments and drawing references, and the cheese viking mobile game.

The Hogwarts Legacy boycott is the most counterproductive internet activism I’ve ever witnessed
Note: I’m not playing Hogwarts Legacy because I think the author is overrated and hasn’t been good in years. And well, again, feeling concerned about some of her opinions on transgender people.
With that said, finding it very interesting how everyone are harrassing anyone who dares to touch the game, whether by purchasing it or by playing a free copy or by pirating, due to the transphobic views of the author... On Twitter. Which is ran by Elon Musk. A transphobe. 
Not just that, but Twitter most certainly on the regular hosts and spreads more antisemitic and transphobic views on their site than Hogwarts Legacy ever will...
I especially find it fascinating when tweets show they were sent from iPhones. You know, iPhones, primarily made in China, likely helping fund the genocide of Uighur Muslims.
If you choose to boycott the game for concerns over transphobia or antisemitism, then I do commend you for that. I’m a big proponent of the idea that people need to show their opinion with their wallets more often. Rejecting something you could’ve enjoyed because you don’t want to contribute to making the world a less safe to live is commendable. For the same reason I have a lot of respect for vegetarians and vegans. I could never do it. More power to you.
With that said, no one consumes cruelty-free in reality. You’ve probably eaten meat. Or used Twitter. Or had an iPhone. All things that you didn’t actually need to do in order to survive, but things you chose to do anyway.
Why did you? Likely because it’s impossible to care about all causes at once. No one is capable of doing so. 
When deciding what to focus on, it’s likely a competition between what is easiest to give up and what cause you care the most about. Hogwarts Legacy is probably to most very easy to give up. To others, not so much. Which may sound silly, but then again, so is choosing Twitter (created by a transphobe) over going outside and touching some grass (created by Mother Earth who is likely not a transphobe). We all have something we’re attached to that we don’t actually need.
There’s an additional angle to this, though. Not only is it hypocritical to shame others for consuming in a way that could potentially fund something you consider harmful, but it’s also ineffective.
An aggressive approach is counterproductive.
Similarly to how you’re probably not going to make someone stop smoking by putting a cigarette out on their skin and yelling at them how they’re going to get cancer, sending death threats to people for playing a video game is unlikely to be effective either. Chances are they’ll double down. Note how some responses to this organized bullying has been “well then, I’m going to buy two copies”? Congratulations, the hydra grew two more heads and now the game earned even more money. Odd how you’d want to contribute to that if your concern is genuinely that buying the game could cause transgender people to die en masse.
Hogwarts Legacy became the best-selling game on Steam before even being released. Not just in spite of the boycott, but also in spite of the bad reputation of early access game releases.
Perhaps the biggest irony of it all is J.K. Rowling’s fear of transgender women surpressing cis women are now as a result of the boycott suddenly not looking so unwarranted. Women streamers have been pushed to tears. Girlfriend Reviews being an especially sad case, where a Jewish woman received a free copy of the game, donated any money earned from it to transgender charity, and yet was harrassed, threatened, blacklisted, and even had some accounts on social media shut down due to said boycotters making deliberately false reports of hate speech. I guess it wasn’t enough that J.K. Rowling herself got death threats and had a book written about her in which she dies a gruesome death. No, instead activists doubled down on the misogyny. 
And it’s sad. It’s genuinely sad. A movement that should be about the freedom of loving and respecting people for who they are and who they choose to be has now instead become an authoritarian movement against wrongthink and a breeding ground for bullies and oppressors.

Ludo Money App: Your Ultimate Guide to Earning
Tumblr media
Online gaming in the present age is not only an entertainment package, but it is also an opportunity to make some bucks. Out of the available many games, Ludo is emerging again not only in terms of fame but also a source of earnings through different Ludo Money Apps. If you have been wondering whether it is possible to make some cash while playing your favorite game of Ludo, then this article is for you. In this guide we will discuss all that you require to know about earning through Ludo Money Apps.
What is a Ludo Money App?
A Ludo Money App is an application for Android and iPhone with which you can play Ludo on your smartphone and not only for entertainment but to gain money. These apps commonly provide a service to connect players from different locations to games, tournaments, and where people bet real money against each other. The user who wins the game or tournament receives some money that can be cashed out based on the application’s terms and conditions.
How Do Ludo Money Apps Work?
These apps operate on a simple principle. Here's a breakdown of how you can start earning:
Download and Sign Up: First, choose a reputable Ludo Money App and download it from your app store. After installing, you'll need to create an account. This might require you to provide some personal details and payment information.
Deposit Funds: To play games that offer monetary rewards, you’ll need to deposit funds into your account. These funds will be used to enter games and tournaments that require a buy-in.
Join a Game: Once you have funds, you can join games. These could be 1-on-1 games or larger tournaments. The entry fees and rules will vary depending on the app and the type of game.
Play and Win: Play Ludo against other players. Like the traditional board game, your success can depend both on your strategy and a bit of luck. Winning games or tournaments will earn you money.
Withdraw Your Earnings: If you win, the money will be added to your app wallet. You can usually withdraw this money to your bank account or digital wallet, depending on the app’s setup.
Choosing the Right Ludo Money App
With numerous apps available, choosing the right one can be critical. Here are some factors to consider:
Reputation and Reviews: Check the reviews and ratings on the app store. See what other users are saying about their experience.
Ease of Use: The app should have an intuitive interface, making it easy for you to navigate and play.
Security: Since you’re dealing with real money, ensure that the app has good security measures in place to protect your data and funds.
Customer Support: Good customer support is essential for resolving any issues you might encounter.
Payout Options: Look at the withdrawal methods and timelines. It’s important that you can easily access your winnings.
Tips for Earning More
To maximize your earnings from Ludo Money Apps, consider the following tips:
Practice Makes Perfect: The more you play, the better you’ll understand the strategies that can help you win.
Set Limits: It’s easy to get carried away. Set deposit and loss limits to manage your finances responsibly.
Take Advantage of Bonuses: Many apps offer bonuses for deposits or referrals. These can give you extra money to play with.
Participate in Tournaments: While they may have higher entry fees, tournaments often offer larger payouts.
Stay Focused: Treat each game seriously and stay focused on your strategy.
Risks and Considerations
While playing Ludo for money can be fun and potentially profitable, it comes with risks. The most obvious is the risk of losing money. Gambling can be addictive, and it's important to play responsibly. Always remember that no game of chance should be seen as a primary source of income.
Ludo Money Apps offer a modern twist on a classic game, providing not just entertainment but also an opportunity to earn some extra cash. By choosing the right platform, playing wisely, and managing your funds responsibly, you can enjoy what these apps have to offer while earning money. Whether you're playing for fun or to supplement your income, always prioritize safety and responsible gaming.

the recent chapter definitely inspired this. in luigi’s childhood how often did mario struggle with the ever changing technology lmaoo
OH MY GOD HE STRUGGLED SO MUCH!
Technology has never been Mario's strong suit, and if he had a say in it he would've stuck to his good old flip phone, because "well this is hardly a phone! Hardly anyone even uses them for calls, Weegee!"
He is such an old man. Mario is definitely the type of person to have one of those old flip phone cases with his wallet inside of it as well! And he would open it up and squint his eyes whilst trying to take a selfie and then go 'Luigi, how do I turn it on?'
He squints his eyes as he taps at the screen, recoiling his head back with that dazed face. Each time a new phone comes out and he chooses to get it for Luigi, he goes into the store and is like 'how do I get the uh- the box thing? Which one is good for a 13 year old? No, no I don't want him on the sooopal medios, can I get a phone without them on?'
Don't get me started on gaming technology! Luigi is a whizz kid, graduated highschool at 15. When he was a kid, Mario got him a pc, but because he had no idea what he was doing, he got one of the ones where you have to put it together yourself. Cue him being on the phone to tech support for a good few hours like 'I don't know how to set the box thing up! What do I do?'
He goes back into the room and Luigi's set it all up himself.
Luigi calls him an old man, because 'oh my god, Mario, who's that bad at using a phone?'
He proper flipped when the iPhone X came out because 'WHERES THE HOME BUTTON?!'
But yes he is such an old man, and if you'd like me to write a oneshot of this please say so because I would gladly do that LMAO

if you act like a thief, i'll treat you like one.
When she makes a sound, it is because she wants to be heard. Gotham is perfectly suited to her because its bowels treat her as a friend. If she slips through the streets, those shadows bend to her every step until they grow into her seams and edges. She attracts that darkness so easily. The Wraith, they call her, because she is nothing more than smoke. Inej slides through fingers just the same. A slip of a girl, a slip of a ghost. She is only as useful as the abilities of her body. At least in this way, she built this image for herself. No one forced it on her.
“Stupid games.” Inej’s voice barely rises over the noise of the Crow Club. It is a busy night. No one prays on Sundays in Gotham except to the god of greed. She knows Joker is not here to gamble, but Kaz is otherwise occupied upstairs in his office. She wonders if he knows he has a guest. Does he have a guest? The natural purpose for visiting the Club is not present. It would not match what she knows already about Joker’s comings and goings. This is not his usual haunt.
Tumblr media
Inej extends her arm. In her fingers, Joker’s iPhone as offering. “Stupid prizes.” She nudges her chin. Over his shoulder, a waitress slips a wallet from a customer’s pocket as she passes his table. She can’t be older than thirteen, but the man is too drunk to notice anything but his losing hand. “I’m not sure how she got around your dog. For that feat alone, perhaps you will stay her punishment. We all do what we must to survive.”
🔪 YELLOWSTONE PROMPTS.

Apple's Move to USB-C is Apparently Really Popular with Consumers
Tumblr media
It took some time, but Apple's new iPhone 15 series phones finally ditched the company's own lightning port for the more standardized USB-C hardware format, joining the likes of the MacBook and iPad lines, not to mention countless other Android phones all over the market. With that said, it looks like Apple's latest move has been popular among consumers, especially folks who like to do a bit of reading online. More specifically, data from the folks over at mobiles.co.uk shows that the buzz surrounding Apple's new USB-C-equipped smartphones is nothing to scoff at - more than a hundred thousand news posts about the iPhone 15's new hardware feature have gone live, proving that the move to a more standard hardware connectivity solution - no matter how late - is favourable on Apple's behalf, at least in terms of public awareness and marketing reach. While USB-C ranks as the top dog in mobiles.co.uk's data chart, second place goes to Dynamic Island. The feature was introduced with the iPhone 14 series, and marks Apple's move from its rather divisive notch design, to a more mainstream camera cutout display style also seen on competing Android brands. These aren't the only pre-existing smartphone trends that Apple has adopted though, as the incorporation of AOD (always-on display) on the iPhone 14 series also proved popular, ranking in third place in terms of news posts. Given this new information, it's quite possible that Apple is feeling the building pressure from the competition. While iPhones continue to reign among the world's top-selling smartphones, it's no secret that they're somewhat behind in other hardware and software aspects compared to a multitude of Android phones, especially when it comes to battery technology and camera hardware. Still, the popularity of Apple's flagship handsets is something impressive in itself, amounting to huge sales numbers every year. The iPhone 15 series features four different models, which include the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus, and iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max. The Pro models come with new Titanium builds, as well as the new USB-C ports. The phones also feature the new A17 Pro chipset from Apple, which features some promising performance upgrades including ray tracing technology for gaming. Apple even went so far as to announce a handful of console ports for the iPhone 15 Pro series, which include the Resident Evil 4 Remake, as well as Resident Evil Village. Meanwhile, the "regular" iPhone 15 and 15 Plus count as the more wallet-friendly models in Apple's 2023 lineup. They do adapt some newer hardware, and in addition to USB-C the iPhone 15 also features the Dynamic Island camera cutout, as well as an upgraded 48MP main camera sensor, a considerable improvement over the 12MP lens that Apple has used for so long in previous iPhone models. One caveat however is that the base models run on last year's A16 Bionic chip, instead of the A17 Pro as with the Pro models. With all that said, USB-C is a step in the right direction for Apple, and we can only hope that the company adopts more competitive hardware on its future handsets. Buyers can grab the new iPhone 15 series starting at £799 for the base model iPhone 15, and £999 for the iPhone 15 Pro. Read the full article

Did I forget it was Friday again? Of course I did. 7: Black Friday Shopping. + Willie and Flynn. Because I feel they're the only ones who would throw themselves into that chaos.
Willie wandered into the kitchen, taking in how covered the kitchen table was, Flynn at the head pouring over the scattered papers. “Hey chica, whatcha doin’?”
“Making a battle plan for Black Friday,” she replied distractedly. “Gonna got those sale racks hard and get all my shopping done in one fell swoop this year.”
“Oh man, the dreaded holiday shopping trips. I gotta knock mine out too,” Willie groaned. “Maybe I should take a page out of your book, do it all in one day.”
“You’re welcome to join me. We leave at three in the morning.”
“Three?”
“Sales start at five, need to stop for coffee before we get in line. Dress warm, wear good shoes.” Flynn then looked at him, “Feel free to back out if you want, I can fight back all the pushy Karen’s on my own. But if you come, you gotta keep up, I will leave you behind if you fall.”
Willie held his hands up, but grinned, “Oh believe me I know. Hate to be the person who gets between you and a sale. Your killer instinct is terrifying.”
Flynn gave him a slightly feral smile, “Kind of necessary when you’re dating Carrie.”
Willie laughed at that, and the two agreed to their attack plan, both heading off to bed exceptionally early in order to fight the raging hordes of shoppers the next morning.
Willie groaned as his alarm went off, Alex still sound asleep beside him. He had elected to sleep with ear plugs in, and wished him good luck. “Better you than me,” he had said before falling asleep. “Flynn’s a shopping terror on a good day, would hate to see her on the biggest shopping day of the year.”
Willie showered quickly, tossing his hair back in a messy bun and throwing on his comfiest clothes and shoes. He could hear Flynn beeping the horn to her obnoxious VW Bug as he grabbed his wallet and dashed out the door.
“You’re late,” she said as she veered out of the driveway, her bright orange car the only one on the road. “We’re gonna swerve through the nearest Starbucks for quads of coffee and breakfast sammies. You vegan this month?”
“Vegetarian,” Willie conceded. “I missed cheese and eggs.”
“I don’t know how you do it. I couldn’t live without bacon.”
“Your boyfriend does,” Willie commented.
“Only around the high holy days. He’s not kosher the rest of the time. And he only does that to appease MeeMaw.”
“No one messes Chavalah Peters,” Willie admitted.
Soon enough, bellies full, and thrumming with caffeine, they pulled into the first store on their list. Electronics.
If Willie thought Flynn was terrifying, he hadn’t seen anything. The people pushing and shoving to get discounted TVs and SodaStreams. He swore he saw one woman bite someone to get the latest iPhone. He managed to snag a few games for Reggie and Carlos, plus a new set of headphones for Carrie, complete with pink cat ears.
Flynn emerged from the fray with a towering pile loaded on a dolly, smiling and calm, though she glared at the biter, flexing her nails.
The next store was much the same, only people were fighting over clothes and shoes instead of appliances. Willie kind of stood back in awe as Flynn maneuvered through the crowd to grab him a pair of sneakers for Julie and a few band tees for Luke.
By lunch time, Flynn’s car was full, they were both flagging, and agreed that they were done. They made their way home, with Flynn thanking him for a great day, and collapsed on the couch for a nap.
“Never again?” Alex asked as he came to tuck Willie in.
“It was scary and exhausting, but I actually had a lot of fun,” Willie admitted with a yawn.
“You’re crazy,” Alex said with a fond shake of his head. “I just buy everything online. But you survived, and Flynn came back with a smile, so good job.”
Willie was fast asleep before the last word fell from Alex’s lips, not even registering the gentle kiss pressed to his temple. A soft smile on his face despite the aches all over his body.
