      Ah, shame. I still consider the 10 to be a downgrade from my 9 Pro. I want Battery Share.

      I’m also less likely to be subjected to surveillance, I’m guessing, as I live in northern Europe. Hopefully. 😅

        These devices are installed in public spaces. Think Transit stations.

          Right, but considering where in northern Europe I live… I don’t think we’re a target before it’s time to upgrade phones at least, honestly. 😅
