It was annoying picking up from the store, but you use the cable to connect them because you had a 15 pro to a 16 pro and it seemed to work out. And, you know, I would grade your setup experience as pretty much went. Okay.

So I get a new phone every two years, and there are two reasons that I dread getting a new phone. One of them is the setup process. The other one is cases, which we'll talk about later, right? And it really does deter me from getting a new phone.

You think I'd be excited to get another phone and I am, but then every time I actually am getting one, I'm like, Oh no, my world has been thrown into turmoil because the computing device that I use probably the most that's with me all the time now is going to not be satisfactory for some period of time.

First I have to deal with the setup process where I just hope everything transfers over and I deal with all that or whatever. And then the cases, which we'll talk about later. Right? So, uh, I think last year, if we go back to, or not last year, two years ago when I got the 14 Pro, I think I said that my setup process went smoothly for once.

My usual experience is I get a new phone and the way I order it is through the Apple star app. I order it on my old phone. And when you order on your old phone, you can say, Hey, are you going to get a new phone? That's going to replace the one that you're currently ordering on. And I say, yes, it's like the most automatic smoothest default path, which is like new phone will replace this phone.

Don't change anything. Don't get an unlocked phone. Don't do anything weird. Don't change carriers. Don't it's like just the default straightforward thing. And yet, pretty much every year, with the possible exception of last year, I don't recall exactly, I end up on the phone with Verizon. On iPhone. Which is not the time you want to be on the phone with Verizon. No. Well, guess what?

I ordered my new phone using that same old default method. I took it out of the box. I couldn't use the wired. Well, I decided not to use the wired thing because the 14 Pro has USB 2 speeds and Wi-Fi can beat that, I think. So I'm just using plain old, you know, phone-to-phone wireless transfer with both phones plugged in. And it starts doing the thing. You know, I see a new phone.

Do you want to do this? Connect to the other phone. Type in the passcode of this phone and that phone. Scan the fuzzy dot ball, you know what I mean?

the whole the whole process right all right can i interrupt you right there does that actually do like is that like a qr code does that actually transmit data yeah there's there's actual data in there okay i i just i can't fathom how i believe you okay yeah it's just it's just artfully done but yeah it's it's like sort of an obscured artful kind of like qr code type thing anyway um

And then they start doing their thing. One thing that's always annoyed me is the phone you are transferring from has like a white sheet up that says, you know, finish on other phone or whatever. But if you try to dismiss that sheet, it's like, oh, do you want to exit the setup process? It's like, no, I just don't want to be staring at this white thing.
