I know you crave future nostalgia. Like you, I’ve already sacked 2020 and have thought up ways I’m going to love in 2021.

Frequently, nostalgia brings me back to the iPhone 5s where it defined my life in France. Many memories were created straight from a razor thin aluminum build that played Soundcloud mixes from mugs, captured drunk mishaps with quick clicks, and sent snappy texts with a single finger. Long nights, reliable battery, making it through wine and music, spring and summer, espressos and exams.

Phones are too big now. If I wanted a tablet, I would’ve gotten the iPad. But phones, in the tourbillon that I was thrown into with the mini monolith of the 5s, should convince you that memories can be made straight from your pocket with ease and light.

Currently, the 11 Pro Max is too much power for someone as average as me.
