i figured i’d just have to be patient and wait for another couple weeks for mine to ship out and arrive, since it gave me a target date of Dec 4-18th when i preordered… but was happily surprised to get an email late last week… and bam! here it is :)

i’ve only had it since yesterday, so still getting used to it… and i really mean that, since this is the first time in years that “getting used to it” means just that — the muscle memory for hitting the “home” button is real, mang… holy shit… yeah, gonna take me a bit to get used to all this swiping.

surprisingly, that top tab isn’t bothering me as much as i thought it would… and i don’t care what they say, it’s definitely smaller than my 7 Plus — not sure how i feel about that, to be honest.

anywho, i’m digging it.

now to get my animoji on..! ;)
