So today I would like to start a story about my experience starting a new technological device when I changed my old iPhone 7 to an iPhone 13. It took place on October 20, 2024, when I was attending a workplace meeting event at a hotel. I dropped my old phone, and I was really upset because I found that my phone was broken; there was a scratch on the LCD. Fortunately, at that time, it could still be used normally. But after the event, I went to the mall to figure out what I should do. I mean, should I change to the new device or just continue using the phone with the scratch on the LCD? After surveying and asking the salesman in the e-books section, I decided to upgrade to the new iPhone 13. I had to pay an extra amount of about 7 billion rupiah. I learned a lot from this experience. I learned that I always have to be aware of my own device.
