No, I still have the 7 plus.

Facetime is about the only feature on the iphone I prefer over Androids - that and every android phone I have ever had has been almost completely useless by the time the 2 years are up - no battery life, extremely slow, and screen issues. I have had none of those problems with the iphones I have had.

Yes, I am a nerd.

This is key to enjoying an android phone:
It’s an Android smartphone with zero bloatware, similar to Google’s Pixel line,
Custom android UI modifications by manufacturers are usually terrible.

As a guy who likes shiny things but isn't super techy, how do you get something like that to work on say ATT?

Blake Shelton is People's Sexiest Man Alive. I guess they're cool with the racist/homophobic/philandering ways.
