My old phone - the Apple iPhone 6S Plus - was dying... it's battery was just not able to hold it's charge for long... I think I had to recharge it every hour as it's level would quickly drop below 5% by then.... well, it was over 5 years 7 months old... 

I was waiting for Celcom, my telecommunications service provider, to announce their annual special offer to my organisation in terms of a discount package for the latest iPhone models.... and on 12 November 2021, that offer came though and I quickly ordered online for the new iPhone 13 Pro 256GB in Graphite colour for RM4,198. This is actually a tiny bit cheaper than my older iPhone that cost me RM4,199! (Although I didn't buy that through Celcom's usual offer, silly me).

The new iPhone was finally delivered to my home on 29 November 2021, and it took me a day to set it up... firstly, I had to unpair my Apple Watch 6 from the older iPhone, then I performed a backup of the old phone through iTunes, then after switching on the new iPhone, and going through some preliminary installation procedures that included an upgrade to the latest version of iOS, and this took a long time, more than an hour if I recalled. After that was done, I simply restored the backed up data to the new iPhone, and then paired it back to my Apple Watch, and it was completely configured and ready to be used.

I haven't really played around much with my new gadget but below is the first photo taken with it when I had lunch at Dave's Deli and ate the delicious quarter chicken meal.

So far, I'm very happy with my purchase and am delighted in its performance and quality. Hoping the battery would last longer than before....
