shmogt, if you know the cost of Apple's ecosystem, then you shouldn't be complaining so much about the cost of the whole thing as you already fully know how they work and why they do it.

So complaining bitterly that they're "overpriced" and give poor value for money, when you've already brought a whole load of equipment off the company itself is kinda ridiculous. If you thought it was poor value in the first place, one must question why you continue to buy things from the company.

You say the software and that you know how things work with Apple's product is a good value, but then contradict it with the money expenditure. You can't have it cheap, user-friendly and good quality. Can only have two out of the three.

Apple stuff is good and always works how I expect it to. Which is great. I would understand it costing a bit more since its a better brand. However to me it cost a lot more than needed. iPhone 5 is like $700 here and the iOS is the same, camera is the same, etc. So it was mainly just making it a tiny bit taller and making the new plug that was the big focus. Small amounts of new engineering yet same expensive price higher than any other phone. Computers being much more expensive I hate it on the day I buy one but it runs great forever so it's cool, but phones you are gonna get a new one in a few years. Than all the accessories are super expensive which you have to buy, like cables and such. There is no deals ever or sales it's just the same expensive price always. That is the one big thing I don't like.

I dont get why people need the new iPhone5 so badly?
I'm sure my iPhone4 runs 2 more years without any big problems. They are made to last longer, why should I replace it year over year then?

Just because it's cool, because it's new?


Ohh, uhm ,it seems like the new phone isnt made to use any longer than a year. the aluminium body will look like kitchenfoil in a few month of using...

iphones are an investment + fun to me if i go on a 2 year plan i end up paying 200 for the phone and when its over i can make 100-300 dollas stickin with the 4s till the 5's upgrade comes

Just bought a Galaxy S3 and I'm very happy with it.
But if not, I'm sure I would be also a victim of the Apple-mania.
I have also a Iphone 4 and I couldn't decide which one is better, the Apple or the Samsung.

Oh man that's me right now. Both those phones are top phones out there but I think the S3 just beats it since it has a lot more features. How do you find battery life on it, I have heard people say its so awful an others say its spectacular?

As I see it now, if your planning on buying a top end phone, you have a choice of a IPhone 5, S II, or a galaxy note 2.

If it were my money I would go with the note 2.

There is also the newly announced One X+ which is now much stronger than the One X.

A few friends are suffering with the scuffing on the 5 and its a real shame for such a high end device. I'd hope Apple alter what they use to coat the aluminium backing quickly.

This. My iPhone 4 is jailbroken and there is absolutely no way I'm getting another phone until this one is completely defunct. My phone does everything I need it to, and more.

I use barrel, infinifolder, winter board, and an app to have any pic you like as your unlock screen and replace your network with anything you like!

Forecast is also a good LS feature

Gridlock is also cool

I'm not liking that gridlock one, but that forecast one is awesome!

Each to their own also, check out 'Zeppelin'.. It's what gives me the Nike tick instead of my standard carrier.. But can also be whatever you want. Either word or pic (you can download close to a thousand different styles)

 

[nealcropper]

I have just bought the forecast one

 

[harveybird]

I removed the "slide to unlock" completely, along with the camera button
lemme upload a pic rq ;]

 

[nealcropper]

I kept the slide to unlock because I wanted to make the unlock icon that apple logo with Steve jobs replacing the bite out of the apple.

 

[harveybird]

but this is my lockscreen, nothing to touch slide or poke

I use to have it set to where i swipe the status bar (top of screen) and it unlocks, before i restored my phone it had features... that the iphone 10 will have

Hahaha, I know, one of my mates has an iPhone 5 and was showing it off to me the other day. Everything, and I mean everything that his phone does mine does more and it does it faster, and if it couldn't do it now then all I had to do was go onto cydia and download an app and it could. It's a joke. I'm not sure what possed him to upgrade for £200 from the 4s, he's wasn't jailbroken though. I haven't upgraded my iOS yet though. I haven't looked for a hack for it so I don't know if it can be. Plus I don't see the point to be honest. It seems more of a downgrade than an upgrade.

The 4G LTE is worth the upgrade alone if you're coming from a 4 or 4S. I'm always on LTE and it's awesome how fast it always is.

As far as features just about every smart phone has the same features now days. I've played around with an S3 and I don't see what the big deal is about it. It works exactly the same as an iPhone, just with a slightly different look.

 

[harveybird]

Ive had 4g since im on at&t for a while now

The 4G would be worth it, IF I ever used 3G, which I don't. Everywere I go nowadays there is a wifi connection on offer. Not to mention that every time I actually properly use my phones Internet, I'm in my house, which has a 60 meg connection. Ain't no mobile connection can match that.

I can't be on wifi at work or in my car, so it's worth it to me. I'll use it at my house, but I don't use my phone when I'm home so it doesn't really matter.
