Hi all, this is my first time listing a phone on Swappa. Wanted to ask a couple questions. What shipping service does everyone recommend I use, and how much do you typically pay for shipping? Wondering if I have to go with a specific service or find something that has more insurance than the standard USPS $100. Secondly, is there any way a buyer can lie about the phone I send to try and get money back from me? Is there any protection for the seller?

I am on 26.5.2, and lately iMessage has become unusable. Anytime I am trying to participate in group chats while I'm actively getting messages, my keyboard constantly freezes. I literally have stopped texting when chats are active because it is such a miserable experience to type with things freezing up constantly. Also, more recently If I step out and it's hot outside, the phone gets too hot immediately and doesn't work.

I replaced the battery last year and my health is at 89% now. Seems to have degraded quicker than I imagined.

I have already turned off all motion related enhancements and turned down glass mode as much as I can. Still, it feels like my phone isn't capable anymore. Web browsing + media consumption is fine though, no issues there.

I know we're close to the next release and I will definitely have to upgrade, but wanted to know if anyone can suggest things I can do now to keep my phone going for the next few months.

I currently have an LG 27GP83B-B that I've used for about 4 years. It's been great with zero complaints, and I plan to keep it as a second monitor after upgrading.

My usage is roughly a 70/30 split between work and gaming. I work from home ~8 hours/day in Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, etc.) and game/web browse for another ~2 hours, mostly on an Xbox Series X.

I recently upgraded to a wider desk, and the 27" feels a little small now. I'm looking for a 32" 4K monitor with 120Hz console support (144–165Hz is ideal).

I've ruled out OLED. I know burn-in has improved, but with so many hours of static Office apps, I don't think it's the right fit for me. I'd rather buy something I can comfortably use for another 4+ years than spend ~$700 and worry about burn-in after 12–18 months.

The AOC U32G4 seems to check all the boxes and is currently around $319 on Amazon, but the reviews are pretty mixed. Am I overlooking a better option?

My budget is around $300 since I can get a 32" LG OLED for about $670. Does anyone with a similar work/gaming usage have recommendations?
