    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. 😅

        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. 😅
