    Ok, I'll say it. So far Apple is just playing catch up with Samsung. Full disclosure: I hate iTunes.

    Also I had an iPhone 3 and after 2 years could no longer update it, nor did most of my apps work after they where "updated". Apple literally made a device that forces you to upgrade every 2 years. And for that I will never go back. My iPhone 3 still works, but I can't load anything on it because iTunes doesn't work with it now.

    They may force us to upgrade, but I've yet to have a phone go :BOOM:!

    I've never had a phone go boom either.

    It was a joke.

    I was joking.

    The only thing I have to say about people making the "catch up" comment is that no matter if it comes out after anyone else, Apple really does take time to put love into their product. I find it the most reliable of any phone I've ever had.

    Basically, y'all are way smarter & savvier than me. And have cooler phones.

    I have to support all smartphones, computers, networks etc. for work so I have to be updated on the latest everything and have older things around for testing too. Oddly though, I hate technology, overall at least. I drive people nuts because they text and call and I rarely answer. Only things I do a lot of is Instagram, because I am a photo guy.

    Right there with you, once I leave work I could care less about looking at a phone or computer until I have to come back the next morning.

    IPhones are cool and so are androids
    The real question is how fast/good is your connection and how reliable is it without those 2 all you have is a fancy paperweight -.-
    Speed and connection can still be at the mercy of the device.

    Well, since upgrading to iOS 10, the message app keeps crashing.

    I had some sticker glitches in beta but never a crash. been running it for a while with the release and haven't had technical issues. Biggest issue we have seen with upgrades is if people do over-the-air. That is fixed by updating connected to iTunes, which is usually faster anyway.

    Agree with this. They do it right. I work in IT and I can't stand the problem associated with non-apple products. Apple works and it works well. I realize that a lot of techies hate Apple and they hate it because the technology is not fun for them. They can't mess with it. But, for many of us, that's exactly what we like about it.
    There is a reason why F500 firms transitioned from the blackberry to the iPhone.

    Samsungs/androids are garbage. IT security nightmare. It really is third grade software.

    Anyway, there is also this whole OWS spin to it. Apple is often associated with elitism and the 2%. When the iPad was released, I stood in line and paid 990$ to get mine and there were others who did that. Apple didn't offer financing yet and everyone in line paid up front. Financing wasn't ready for a couple weeks or month. It was also the height of the new recession and that kind of mindset set in. It was out of reach for the majority of the world.

    Nowadays both phones are equally costly. Maybe iPhone a little bit more. Verizon really did a good job at convincing the 98% that the new toys are affordable while driving them deeper into debt. But the attitude stuck on. And Apple people are annoying folks. I used to have my iPad hidden in my bag and random people would come to me brag about their toy and how much they love it. Just like that. And when I brandish mine out, they would go away.

    There was even an internet joke.... How do you know someone has an iPad? They readily tell you, whether they know you or not. It was a status symbol for a brief time. Not anymore.

    But I don't get the lingering attitude towards it. I personally hate Android phones because the OS is so rough with loose ends, sneaky as hell and they would sell data and randos would have my info. The google app ecosystem is very sneaky too. My icloud account does not do that and I love it. It does not annoy me that is very important.

    I don't need a smartphone. I need a cool assistant which lives up to my expectation. Apple is so seamless. I used to fret about the gaps in android phones. To the poster who asked if I had exposure to coding, I have a sun solaris ecosystem in my home. I left IT behind in my late 20s but never forgot the skill.

    Developers love the android phones because they are often geeky nerds who never get laid and a phone they can hack and do allegedly cool things is one of the few they feel ups their self-worth :p I don't have a gf but I design my own apps on android OS.

    Please tell me you have a case like this on your phone.

    hard to say Tracy. YMMV. I've upgraded my work phone and my personal phone and my son did his phone with no issue whatsoever.

    So usually it's a good idea to wait alittle bit with OS updates so they can work out the bugs. However, with regular updates, and security updates, always update as much as possible.
