    Yeah, hopefully they lower the prices or you can find all the refurbished ones for cheap.

    I have a portable battery charger. It would recharge my iPhone 5 up to six times on a charge. I used it a lot.

    Since I got the 6s, I haven't needed to recharge it on the go. The battery life is impressive. The 7 has even longer battery life.

    I have 3 seasons of ER on my 128GB iPad. Six seasons or more would fit on a 256GB iPhone 7. No extra memory card needed.

    I have a 64GB iPad Pro and am not even close to using all the storage.

    I have an S6, an S4, and android tablets. Neat for a change, but not convenient for my use. My iMessages show up on all my devices. Not on the android devices.

    ER the TV show? So you need a brand new phone to watch a 20yr old TV show.

    Okay....

    That is gross. But that isn't an android issue, it's Samsung's dialer. Unfortunately, for most people, Samsung's software is synonymous with Android.

    Go find it to stream.

    It was filmed in high enough resolution that it looks great in HD. And it's a great show.

    Just how high of a resolution do you need to watch it on your iphone?

    Fingers crossed that your iphone 10 will be able to hold your Murder She Wrote collection.

    It's on my iPad, which is 2k x 1536

    I can watch it on my TV, too.

    iTunes. All my stuff on all my devices.

    iOS10 out today.

    iMessages got a huge bump in features and look.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ER_(TV_series)

    ER was filmed in 1.78:1 widescreen from the start, even though it was not broadcast in widescreen until the seventh season when it began appearing in the 1080i HD format.[citation needed] Since the sixth episode of season 7, it has appeared in letterbox format when in standard definition. As a result, the U.S. DVD box set features the widescreen versions of the episodes, including those episodes originally broadcast in 1.33:1 (full frame) format. The episodes also appear in 1080i widescreen when rerun on TNT HD, though the first six seasons still run in full frame 1.33:1 on the digital TNT network. Only the live episode "Ambush" at the beginning of the fourth season and the title sequence for the first six seasons are in standard 4:3 aspect ratio.
