I will never go back to any windows based PC's, for years I had nothing but issues. A few times per year I would need to backup the PC, format the drive & reinstall whatever version of windows the PC was using. I need to give my iPhone 5 to my wife before I destroy it at work, plus I want her to move up from her 4.

I know in & around major cities (Houston, Dallas, Austin & San Antonio) the prepaids that work on Verizon's system work well. The only issues I have heard from a couple buddies that have them is once you get away from the major cities the coverage can fluctuate some. Hell, for $45 it's worth trying it out for a month.

Yep, we'll I'm truck driver for 5 years and over the road I had to try them all and Verizon came out way ahead of the others. But yea if your around a nice size city I think it would be good. Hell even sprint is 70 unlimited and if in a major city.

And then wait for the 6x, 7c, 8s.....

Buy one and you bought it all...At least with 18 months...I'd rather wait for 4 years..

Yeah, Crapple just can't out do themselves at times.

Why would you get a 5c or a 5s if you have a 5 or even a 4s? The specs are either the same or very close to the same.

But, Crapple is getting nasty. They immediately discontinued the i5 when the new ones were announced yesterday. Before, they waited years to discontinue a previous model.

Oh yeah, and their stock dropped about 25 points. Ugggggh

For the smart consumer, a droid would probably be better. Smart consumers are far from ever being the majority, ever. Ever.

That being said, as a business, Apple is God.

**Brett N** · 09-11-2013, 04:41 PM

Apple is definitely the god of marketing. But I do think that the consumer is more savvy than they used to be. They do make fun commercials. So does Target but that's a different thread entirely.

**austinite** · 09-11-2013, 04:52 PM

If we look at apple marketing from decades ago, we would notice that way back then, they targeted the younger consumer. Those young consumers are the parents today, that give their kids apple products for Xmas.

Microsoft has always been business, business, business. That's not flying so well today (in comparison, of course). They only recently started targeting the younger consumer with funky ads and attempts at kid-friendly software.

I have had two droids, and one ally with android and none of them equal my iPhone. But best reception phone I ever had, I had to get phone quick so picked up a tracfone and had a signal almost everywhere. But it wasn't a smartphone either.

Apple has really dropped the ball. If the DNA wasn't so big I would probably get that. I might get the 5S just because my 4S has been giving me a lot of issues. Tried exchanging the 4S but i still have freezing/lag issues. I love the 4S build but think its time to move on.

Mine freezes constantly as well.

Issues with a 4s? Why? They are way better built and run just as good as i5. I just let my i5 go for the 2nd time and got a 4s. The 5's suck, my camera went out < WTF kinda shit is that?

5c looks interesting @ least.

Not sure. I have had the phone exchanged but still have the same issues. Like I said I don't want to give the 4s up but I am sick of dealing with this issue. It's been going on for almost a year. I'm done with it.

**Brett N** · 09-12-2013, 04:45 AM

Have you tried to do a restore on it? Like, back to factory settings?

My 4s is fine but I haven't updated the software for quite a while because I jailbroke it and I am pretty happy with the way it is now. Seems like anytime I update anything they actually make it worse than it already was.

Yes I have done it all. When I got the exchanged 4S I purposely didn't restore the phone to see if the issues would still happen and they did.

**Dpyle** · 09-12-2013, 05:09 AM

I still have the basic 4. Got it for a dollar at my last "upgrade". Had my old 4 for the full 2 years with no issue, and have had this one for a year so far with no problem. Still have the old one as a back up since it was fine

**< <Samson> >** · 09-12-2013, 08:27 AM

I hear of people having all kinds of software issues. But, I never have. Well, my iPhone gave me a little bit of shit, but it was jailbroken & running all kinds of shit.

Most of the shit I see go wrong is hardware. Dying lock buttons, home buttons, batteries blow up, screen gets discolored or they get wet & do all kinds of odd shit.

I haven't had one iPhone yet that had frequent freezing or restarting without liquid damage.

But, I still hear of it - Just never see it.

No one has a Sony here?

Got 4 minutes of underwater footage of swimming with sharks. Yeah it's gimmicky but very cool. It's taken awhile but the XperiaZ has really grown on me.

I burn through battery and data like crazy On this thing compared to my old BlackBerry.

Anything is considered an upgrade coming from a Blackberry.
