It is unfortunately time for an upgrade. Double unfortunately, I have tiny hands. I already have to use a ring on the back of my current phone for stability. To my dismay, almost all new phones are GIANT. I want to be able to use my phone one handed without cramping. The features I want are;
-longer battery life
-better camera quality
-bigger storage (64gb currently)
-as small as possible while keeping modern functionality
I’m wondering if an iPhone 13 mini is still worth it in 2026, it would be 2 years newer than my current phone, but still 4 years old. I don’t want anything much bigger than that unfortunately. Does anyone have any recommendations? Or insight on whether it’d be worth getting the 13 mini still??

I’m buying my first house and in the backyard is a large bed with bamboo growing along the back. We’re having an arborist come in and grind down the first 4 feet of bamboo to create a buffer zone between the bamboo and the rest of the yard. He recommended planting something in the 4 foot buffer zone that shades the area to kill off any shoots that start up in that area from lack of sun. I live in a mild wet area of Oregon, the bed is shaded for half the day to my best guess due to the fruit trees in the yard. I’m thinking maybe hydrangeas? Something low maintenance would be preferable as the rest of the yard will require a good amount of work. Any suggestions are more than welcome as I’m a first time gardener
