    Every thing in own is apple. MacBooks, home computers, family iPads, phones, iPods. I love how easy they are to use and all sync up flawlessly.

    I assume the Android users who are on here bashing the iPhone also own PCs?


    Sent from my baller ass iPhone 5S...... FAMS!

    My PC is upstairs. I have used it once this year. I know you have no idea what a Note3 is like but I need nothing else. I don't even need my frikking big screen tv. I can watch flawless 1080 video on my phone. If I hold it 2 feet from my face it is the same size as my 55 inch tv is from my couch.

    I could rig a simple holder to keep it still while sitting if I needed to. I have a nice case with a fold out stand so I can watch it in bed, with my kicker amphitheater via bluetooth it sounds fabulous.

    By the way, I had to edit my girlfriend's contacts in "the cloud"

    Fuck apple, the only way I found to delete them was using the actual delete button on the keyboard. They make such easy stuff so difficult for some reason.

    No, every time my girlfriend logged in to Itunes for 6th months it said her password was wrong. I know it wasn't, I would change it, log in and out then it would be wrong.
    It stopped doing that finally. Don't know why. Maybe by 2020 they will fix the text glitch that they know is their fault. I doubt it.

    That's rich though about inferior phones, did you read the link I posted?

    Tell you what, I'll match you link for link:

    http://www.forbes.com/sites/toddhixon/2014/03/26/why-i-dumped-my-android-phone/

    I've really got nothing against the galaxy. A poster just told me the other day they were thinking about getting a galaxy and what did I think, I said "I don't have one but hear people love their galaxy"

    I think it is a preference choice. I'm also not that into this apple vs samsung thing. I enjoy toys so love when the latest version comes out, but I can't say that I am a phone master and can say without a doubt what phone is better and why.

    As soon as I am having major problems with my iPhone, I don't think I would hesitate to switch over. Samsung is certainly catching up in market share and heard it is easy to switch over.

    But right now I like the size, sturdiness and convenience iPhone offers ( like HCP, my whole network at home is apple).

    What I don't get is your insistence on what a superior phone galaxy is when each phone offers different features and the choice depends on what you want from your phone.

    You sure do like the fact that old rich people who want a phone that works better with their new BMW because of a specific app choose the Iphone. You got me there.

    I would drop my Note3 in a heartbeat for any brand phone if it were better. There just isn't one right now.

    Iphone fanboys wouldn't even look at another phone.

    The article you linked made me laugh when he mentioned wired and bluetooth in the car. I have a cheap pioneer stereo in my car with a mic and play slacker over bluetooth and talk on the phone hands free. Why would I care about wires?

    That's all you read out of that article huh . . . I guess all your article with some dork holding up a 2 phones says "Galaxy better because bigger"

    Here is another article:

    http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/...ill-beats-samsung/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0

    I’ve been using the new Samsung for about three weeks, and while I do think it is the best Android phone you can buy, it sure isn’t the best phone on the market. By just about every major measure you’ll care about, from speed to design to ease of use to the quality of its apps, Samsung’s phone ranks behind the iPhone, sometimes far behind. If you’re looking for the best phone on the market right now, I’d recommend going with the iPhone 5S.


    And I'm sure you can match me with an article saying galaxy is the best phone on the market.


    I don't even know what a Note3 is, the debate out there among phones seems to be Galaxy S5 vs. iPhone 5s.

    Got tons more links voting for the iPhone from all different demographics you can laugh at if your want them . . .

    (FWIW- love my iPhone with my BMW, is that a decent reason for me someone to pick an iPhone?)

    iPhone's are easily the best size for a cell phone.

    Getting something bigger is just stupid and it keeps me from going to a different phone. I don't want or need a phone the size of a scientific calculator. It's just not practical.

    Not true. I have had a HTC one for the past 15 or so months ans my wife has an iPhone 5s. The screen on the HTC one is leaps and bounds better. I hate web browsing on her phone, it's terrible.

    "I have an opinion!"

    "Your opinion is not true, because I have an opinion!"

    Jesus, people!

    2) fanboys


    Apple products really are so gimmicky. But hey, their marketing works and they're killin' it for now.

    lol . . . I didn't know phones bring out so much emotion out of people.

    I thought I was really into phones as I am waiting for the newest version to come out, but after this thread I think I am not as into phones as I originally thought I was.

    The posts and articles I read because of this thread has opened my eyes to what a battle this is. Labeling people, insisting which phone is better . . . just weird to me.

    I would almost get one of each to have the best of both worlds, but doesn't make sense with a phone. I think my next tablet will be a samsung so I can see what this is all about.
