Transcript

My cousin upgraded from the iPhone 12 to the 13 in the big 2026. He called me to flex his new iPhone. I was dumbfounded. I didn't even think it was possible to get an iPhone 13 off of AT&T anymore. Apparently, he had warranty on his iPhone 12 was cooked, but he seems so happy. So I guess whatever makes you happy.
