      [deleted post]What can't you say anything useful what he or she said is right why should i buy expensive phone just to show up ???!!! just to make my friends jealous while i can get a superior phone with half of iPhone price

      iPhone isn't successful as a phone but apple is really successful at marketing iPhone since normal users don't really care about better OS or hardware or anything they just care about a phone which has good reputation

      for me i prefer good hardware and software than high priced phone for bad hardware and software

              If I can pay 900$ for my iPhone , I sure can pay another 100$ if I'd broke it's glass. At least I'm paying for high quality glass , not cheap plastic.

                            I am not an apple 'hater' nor am I an 'android fan'
                            I own a number of apple products, I just don't think the iPhone is the best product out there! Yes, it's easy to use, the OS is simple but I want a phone where I can do WHAT I WANT with it, rather than 'apple' dictating what I canor cannot do, what software I can or cannot use. Android is a better OS and that stat's prove it. Your all gonna say apple is the most highest selling phone, but why is that?! one phone, one shape, one size, one price..like it or hate it, take it or dump it, you have no choice. Whereas android offers a phone for all ages, at all prices.

                            Yeah, you can customise your iPhone but you have to use Cydia and jailbreak your phone..if you were to do this, wouldn't it just be easier to buy an android handset?!

                            All of you who say iPhones never crash or lagg, you're wrong, I work in a phone shop and day in, day out we have customers who come in complaining that their iphone keeps crashing etc. People are just too uncomfortable with using anything but an iPhone cos it's ''too complicated'' ...it isn't the case, they're just too used to iOS and don't really have the brain cells to work anything other than an iPhone.

                                        I feel very privileged to own not only an iphone but lots of apple products. You can hate the brand as much as you like, but what you dont see is apple fans hating other brands and operating systems because they no they have a sound product in there hand its a bit like the other users are insecure about what they bought. Whether its a better phone or not, whether it was the timing in the market whatever it was steve did something amazing and has made millions of people happy. So enjoy your android and enjoy your iphone because there both good products and steve jobs has been the pioneer of all of it.
