Yes, I've been daily driving OnePlus 15 since it came out. OnePlus might have the most phones in my personal phones of the past decade? And it looks like this will be my last one.
OnePlus announced they will officially no longer launch new products in North America or Europe. Software support will continue, but OxygenOS on these phones will turn into ColorOS. RIP

Im not asking you to understand the politics and diplomacy. What I want you to understand is the Argentine psyche.
Imagine being born and everyone around you holds contempt for England. Perhaps for a war you didn’t experience. But your parents did. They might know someone who died. Or a veteran.
You’re taught at a young age “Las Malvinas son argentinas.” Maradona in 86. It wasn’t cheating, it was REVENGE. They stole from you, so you steal from them.
Scaloni downplayed the historic significance of this match. But for the people of Argentina, that’s impossible to do. There’s a complex, broken relationship with England that is innate in Argentine culture. It’s part of the national identity.
44 years have passed since then. Of course, some hatchets have been buried and olive branches have been extended in this globalized world. But deep down inside, this football victory just means a little bit more.
Serbia and Montenegro before their final match at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, played just 18 days after the country officially ceased to exist.
The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was renamed Serbia and Montenegro in 2003. On June 3, 2006, Montenegro declared independence after a referendum, officially dissolving the state and marking the final chapter in the breakup of Yugoslavia.
However, the 2006 FIFA World Cup was already underway. Since the team had qualified before the country’s dissolution, FIFA allowed Serbia and Montenegro to remain in the tournament under the now-defunct nation’s name and flag. By the time this photo was taken before the team’s final group-stage match against Ivory Coast on June 21, the country it represented had ceased to exist nearly three weeks earlier.
Although neither side could qualify for the knockout stage, the match became a unique moment in football history. It marked the final appearance of Serbia and Montenegro on the international stage and the last time the former Yugoslav national anthem, “Hey, Slavs,” was played at an official sporting event.
The game itself reflected the team’s turbulent circumstances. Serbia and Montenegro took a 2-0 lead before Ivory Coast staged a comeback to win 3-2, bringing the nation’s brief footballing history to an end with a defeat.
Midfielder Dejan Stanković remains the only player in FIFA World Cup history to represent three different national teams without ever changing nationality. He played for FR Yugoslavia in 1998, Serbia and Montenegro in 2006, and Serbia in 2010, illustrating the dramatic political changes that reshaped the Balkans over just 12 years.
