My phone's information is automatically synched to the Cloud, and also to my laptop and iPad, so I wouldn't really lose any data, it'd just be a drag and an expense to have to get a new phone and restore all the info to it.
Also, can Laurie, or anyone, tell me what this is?

I don't have an iphone nor a smartphone. I only have a simple phone that we carry around for an emergency. Pay only $10/month for a pay as you need plan. Don't need to show I have a life carrying an smartphone in front of me all day. I have a life. Enjoy my guitar, reading, traveling, downloading good shows & talking to people face to face. Oh yes, daily walks & time at our gym downstairs is great.
I have a Nokia 3210. It's now 22 years old,has no camera,no SD card,isn't connected to any 'clouds' and has minimalist storage.
BUT...over the years I've had it,it's been drowned twice,been whacked accidentally many times,dropped onto the floor of my truck from the dashboard-and just keeps going.
It still has it's original battery,which still holds charge for 2/3 days depending on use-and best of all,in 'quiet' moments,I can play 'Snake on it'.
EVERYONE laughs at it,calls me a skinflint,tells me how 3G connection is ''so yesterday''-but it keeps going. I have a little 22mp camera for pics-so I'm content.
Ditto! I LOVE my little Nokia. The young guys at the Nokia kiosk were reveling over how
compact and well made it is. I'm not giving it up until it dies. Best battery, that's for sure.
I use my smart phone a lot more since I got rid of my land line, which I don't miss at all. My photos are synced to icloud, so I presume they are safe there, although how to retrieve them if necessary would be
a puzzlement.
Probably what I'd miss the most is the respect of my son-in-law as he bought me the phone and pays the bill.
