Two really dumb people and Tmobile is going to pay. Also, never trade in your phone. I keep the previous generation as a backup in case I lose or break it, and I take a hammer to the older ones on rotation.

By the time I'm ready to part with a phone, they offer peanuts for the trade in. I might as well keep it and do something else with it

Sometimes they offer crazy promotions. Verizon had a any pixel for a pixel 7 deal. My boss traded in a pixel 1 for like $500 off a 7.

My boss traded in a pixel 1

He probably didn't realize having Pixel 1 means unlimited lifetime Google Photos backup in original quality... I bought a 50-60$ used one just for that purpose.

Wut. I still have a pixel 1. Hold up.

Ok, for others, the pixel 1 needs to upload the photos so you sync a camera folder with your new phone to p1. Deets: https://www.androidpolice.com/2021/06/02/how-to-google-photos-pixel-free/
