Thanks!! My son has an iPhone 6 with public mobile but wants the google pixel 5 for Christmas. Will I need a new SIM card? Not sure if this current one will fit...

@suestarr iPhone 6 is a nano SIM and the pixel 5 is nano SIM. Just pull out of the iPhone put it in the new phone.

Be sure to get the pixel with a sim I think some come with just esim. Best to check

@Jb456 @suestarr the new pixels are dual sim with one physical sim slot and esim capable for the second.

@kb_mv ya kinda of figured that. When I checked Koodo last week they only listed esim. I see now they have updated their page to list both nano and esim.

@suestarr you'll be fine 🙂

@geopublic Do cell providers still sell locked phones? Seems a waste as they are required to unlock phones free of charge upon request. I assumed this was for older phones only.

I was thinking about upgrading to the 5, but google getting rid of the telephoto and the slow shutter speed put me off this year. it doesn't even come with the neural core... it would of been better if they went with the 765g+neural. hopefully the 6 will come with all 3 cameras and a better processor.

I do like the aluminum design and the battery capacity!
