Unpopular opinion: The new IG logo actually looks clean.

Is it just me, or is the hate for the new Instagram wordmark completely overblown? Looking at it, the tweak actually feels natural and clean while keeping that familiar script vibe intact.

People are acting like Meta dropped a total disaster, completely ignoring what an actual bad rebrand looks like. Just look at Kia making a logo so illegible that thousands ended up Googling "KN car," Porsche flattening their classic crest into a lifeless 2D decal, or Aston Martin tweaking theirs just enough to erase all its character—all before Jaguar wiped out its entire identity for a sterile placeholder.

Compared to actual visual downgrades like those, a subtle font adjustment is painless. Feels like people just reflexively rage the second any layout changes.

Bought an iPhone X as a secondary phone

Hey everyone!

Just picked up a 64GB iPhone X to use as a secondary device, and I’m curious to get your thoughts on whether I landed a good deal.

A bit of context: My main phone is a Nothing Phone (2a). I had all my Saudi banking apps set up on it, but the SIM card actually tied to those accounts was sitting in my old Huawei Y9 (2019). Dealing with OTPs and constantly transferring money between wallets was turning into a total headache. I finally decided to grab this iPhone X strictly to keep my banking apps and secondary SIM in one place, and honestly, Apple Wallet has made everything so much easier to manage.

I paid 250 SAR for it. It’s a 64GB model, and both the battery and screen were replaced before I bought it. Now that everything’s running smoothly, I’m planning on selling the Huawei Y9.

For 250 SAR with a fresh screen and battery, how did I do?
