    I'm pretty good at keeping my S7 out of swimming pools but I'm not so good at not dropping it on hard floors. I've already dropped it 2 or 3 times but it keeps on ticking.

    I have never bought a single Apple product in my entire life. Am very proud of that fact.

    It's a family thing. My mother was a teacher so always had Apple stuff. Since that's what public schools bought. So she's always preferred Apple tablets and phones as well. My dad for some reason always preferred IBM/PC stuff. And preferred Anfroid phones too.

    My brother takes after my mom and I take after my dad. So it got to be like a game whenever we get new phones. We talk about the shortcomings of the other brand and how proud we are not to own the other. It's like a family game. That's all. It has nothing to do with the actual phone quality.

    ...Ha !...so I assume Thanksgiving dinners with your family have a lot of differing conversations and opinions.

    ...as far as computers, I went to a Mac about 7 years ago...converted my wife too and we both agree that Macs and the operating system is best for what we use a computer for...I did give the iphone a try a couple of years ago but I hated the keyboard and I had also gotten used to wireless charging which Apple did not offer back then. Other than that, I've been loyal to Samsung for years. I prefer the Galaxy's look and camera and layout and much prefer the Android operating system for cell phones as opposed to iphone's IOS operating system.
