I just bought a 2022 Hyundai Tucson which has a pad to charge a phone. It won't connect with my phone to charge it, but it did connect to Blue Tooth. The salesman said I would need to either use a cord or buy a newer phone. Is that true. Is it time to buy a newer version phone to properly use the items on my car. I need some advise. Thanks so much!

Well, mine was an iPad. but, if that is what you are asking, I had Apple do it. I do a lot of of repairs on phones and tablets myself (like replacing broken screens) but I was "lazy" and just sent it to them.

I have an "old" version iPhone SE that needs a new battery. I am considering doing it myself, The battery is cheap. And I don't need the phone, I will probably give it to a grandkid or just throw it in a drawer after I replace the battery - LOL.

I have not done an iPod battery yet, I can't imagine it to hard but I haven't had an iPod in a LONG time.

I have a 7, and wifie has an 11. I love my 7. It has that button sensor on the bottom you can push to go to the icon screen, push twice to see all the running apps. It also brings up the settings for my hearing aids. When I try to use the 11 which does not have that button I have to swipe this way and that and it drives me bats. I am not buyong another iPhone until they give me my button back. And my 7 is plenty fast enough for what I do.

Absolutely, but American's are all about convenience. We eat out at fast food, which is more expensive, we drive cars instead of riding bicycles, etc, etc etc. It's all about what you can afford, what you enjoy, and what bothers you.

Being a geek my desk is covered with chargers and cables. I long for the day I have no cables anywhere - LOL...
