Tips and Tricks for newbs

Hi! I recently left a long time job where I accrued money with a 401(k). I rolled it over into a traditional IRA using RobinHood and invested around $12k (100% of the rollover) into VOO. It’s been performing good and long term is all that matters to me.

After I did this, obviously at my new job I was hoping there might also be a 401(k) but no, there unfortunately is not. Well, I opened a Roth IRA with Robinhood and began depositing 10% of all my income into this account. I have Robinhood Gold as well if that’s important. I also purchase VOO.

I make an estimated $55k after bonuses (won’t know until EOY). That’s still short of my max allocation I can do a year inside my Roth IRA (considering 10% rule). I was considering moving it up to 13% or so? Maybe that 3% can be tossed at a random stock or other stocks to slightly diversify?

Let me know if there’s anything I am missing or could do better at. TIA!

iOS 13 iPhone 6s

How sought after are these devices when on iOS 13? I have a 32GB model and a 64GB model. They’re from a refurbishment project and so far the 32GB model is 100% again (OEM pull display, new adhesive, 2200mAh xcap battery). BUT! It’s on iOS 13.0 (the GM build). The 64GB model is on iOS 13.6 and needs the same set of repairs (new display, adhesive, and battery).

How sought after are phones like this? Is there a preferred marketplace for phones that can be jailbroken? I’ve typically used eBay before.

iOS 13.0 iPhone 6s. Update, or no?

I have two iPhone 6s models. Both the gold color.
One of them has 32 GB on iOS 13.O
The second one has 64 GB on iOS 13.6

I’m conflicted on which one I should update if I should update any of them. The only thing I’ve really done is offload music onto the 32 GB model, using 3UTools.

I did recently refurbished the 32 GB model with an OEM pull screen in mint condition, and an xcap battery. Replaced water seal.

I have to do the exact same set of repairs for the 64 GB model.

I definitely think that the 64 GB model will probably become my daily driver.

I would definitely appreciate jailbreaking. I have access to my 14” M2 Pro MacBook Pro. So the checkra1n jailbreak is probably in my future.

What would you do in the situation where you had one phone on an earlier release of iOS 13 and one phone on a later release of iOS 13? Would you keep them both on iOS 13 or would you update one of them?

I know that one of those phones would immediately lose a significant sum of value because I would presume that a firmware this old would be sought after on marketplaces like eBay.

Anyone got a video or kbase article referring to how tf the OCTA machine removes flip and fold BG and outer UB’s?

Really just would like to get it working again to use it for removing UB’s from frames.

My DM says it never works, but I can’t imagine it would be any worse than what I can do by hand (blasting an iflex with hot air after the phone sat on the heat plate for 20 mins). Even after all that work, I STILL obliterate the copper layer on the UB 🤦

Just help a fella boost some revenue for my store. Thanks!!!
