Last Monday I was taking photos of my front door, and had my iPhone in my back pocket. Squatting wasn’t working so well, so I sank back on my bottom and heard a terrible crack. I don’t know what I thought it was, but I didn’t imagine it was my phone screen. I didn’t realize it until I pulled it out of my pocket 10 minutes later. Because I was finishing my One Last Secret edit, I couldn’t replace the phone until Thursday. Now, I wouldn’t usually replace an entire phone because the screen was cracked, but the phone didn’t work at all. Also, it was an iPhone 5, and I’d been pondering replacing it. The 7 looked good to me, but when the nice rep, Julie, showed me the camera on the 7+ I was immediately sold on it.
Here are some of my first few photos…

I don’t know whether to say I’m so sorry your phone broke or congrats on the new, cool phone! The photos are pretty cool; I’m sure about that!
I was “awwwww.” Then I was “yay!!!!” 😀
Good luck with your new phone, and you took some lovely pictures, too.
Thanks, hon–it’s an adventure!
