Yesterday my friend bought a new iPhone. She was so excited to use
it but the data transfer from the old one wasn't working. I tried
to help her and tried to transfer her data manually to my laptop
but I didn't have enough memory. If I would've had more time I'd have
tried setting the backup to my ssd, but I wasn't able to do it
quickly and advised her to go to the apple store with it.

She had tried to contact the customer care but they told her she'd
have to pay for an appointment. I thought they'd probably help her
for free if she just showed up (which they did).

I don't want to deal with phones anymore, they make me anxious
and sad. My friend was scared she spend so much money on a bad
product. I think it's a valid fear, since phones are not really
made to last anyway. But I told her they'd be able to help her and
please don't worry.

It'd have been way cool if I could've helped her just like that.

My own phone died a couple of months ago and I've been using an
iphone for the first time in my life since. Its an SE 2016 I
think and it'd be fine if the battery would work. It used to be
from the husband of my mothers niece, who died last year. I want to
take good care of it, and am happy I can use it. But I was so happy
with my old phone, which was budget but had been reliable until the
moment it died. I don't want to buy a new phone since I don't really
need one and also I can't afford it. I used to like to research phones
but it bores me now. They're too big for my hands and my pockets.

This evening we ate pita bread and played a board game. I won once
and lost twice. The heating was on all day, not too warm, not too
cold.
