Not with that choice review

I don't own the Motorola Choice reviewed does more than I need
Mines a AU$20, 2021 MOTO G+ probably cheaper now https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/moto-g-power-2021
the Motorola Moto G Power 2021 is viewed as an excellent choice if
battery life is the highest priority but falls short in display
quality, processing power, and software updates. It is best suited for
casual users who do not need advanced gaming or photography
capabilities

The review I read on Iphones latest mistake is
iPhone 16e From AU$999
https://youtu.be/OGjwCmn_XI0
The very latest worst iPhone is the iPhone 16e for its combination of
design flaws, performance issues, and poor software experience in
2025. Prior models like the iPhone 5c and iPhone 14 also hold
reputations as some of the worst in Apple's lineup due to value and
upgrade

I bought my wife an iRon. told her it integrates with the iWash, iCook,
and iClean functionsÿ :)

Rod snipped this out, go to the end to hear the conclusion where he
gave it expensive junk status

you have a great mobile phone (Motorola),
I think it's a bit like stereos where improvements were inaudible to
the human ear, but a gazzo told you it as better and pushed that logic
in $$price$$

All my neighbours have Iphones supplied by who they work for
ALL have problems hearing calls, admittedly reception here is not
great.
However my Moto receives calls clearly and transmits clearly, in my
area, Neighbours impressed.
the Iphones are repeat that please, the other end saying the same.

my moto has very clear sound, and can be made very loud

Yes the Motorola's do have very clear sound
But I believe Iphone do also, whoever their receive and transmit is
not as good as the Motorola's, so calls are not that clear.

My first Motorola I used over 50 years ago in petrochemicals as a
young lad,Two way radios.

I had a Motorola Bag phone soon after they became available here in Oz.
I think it cost close on $1k at the time. I sold it to a guy who was
going to PNG.

"Receive and transmit" from everyone's mobile phone seems to be
rubbish in my area since the damn telcos switched 3G off. I'm not
sure if that includes any Motorolas though. I know now that
Telstra's "Blue Tick" is BS - those phones might display more
(meaningless) bars but they drop out at the same time as others.

so calls are not that clear.

Well maybe that's something else. You could hardly describe calls
dropping out entirely, or going silent for half a minute or so, as
just "not that clear".

My first Motorola I used over 50 years ago in petrochemicals as a
young lad,Two way radios.

As I've mentioned before that was old Motorola. I didn't even know
the brand had been dug up from its grave until you started raving
about them here, but they're actually Lenovo now (Chinese).

Motos are using AI in their phones now
