Exactly! like i said apple devices are worth of every penny and more, well of course not for everyone, but clearly most of iOS users are very happy with their devices, thats why apple have most loyal fans because users doesnt want to change it anything else, because the product is so good.

But end of day, how you can know the product is worth of every penny, you cant, you need to buy the device and then you know if t was or not, i own iPhone 3gs and iPad 3, both have been worth of every penny.

You clearly havent ever owned iOS device, you are here talking about your friend havin lag, sure.. So how you can know iPhone isnt worth of every penny when you havent ever owned it? :D

Sorry but you are little bit ridiculous.

      IPhone 3gs performance still can surprise me, its hard to believe that phone came 2009.

You are here talking about a flagship device. So lets compare it with another flagship device instead of going with phones that are low end or mediocre. My neighbour has been using his Samsung Galaxy S since 2010 and he is still able to play games like granny Smith, nfs hot pursuit etc without any lags. He is bound to recieve the latest jelly bean update for his device and is very satisfied with is gadget . And dont say that iPhones don't lag at all. I have seen my cousin complaining about lags and freezes on his iphone 4s just because the memory of his phone is 3/4th full. If one pays huge amounts of money for it then it should be the most perfect phone. Just a memory issue here is causing it to lag.There are lots of other software related and hardware related issues too. Check the web. Regarding updates; All smartphone manufacturers provide performance updates and fixes for their flagship devices for a period of 3 years if not for operating system. Compared with Apple, Samsung is doing the same job for their flagship phones as apple does. Anyway, its your choice and I am no one to advice. Just expressed my opinions. :)

                Exactly, thats why iPhone is great, even 2009 iPhone 3gs is still very useful device, it runs newest IOS. So theres very well spend money.

                IPhone is worth of every penny and more, you think people should buy cheap phones which works like well cheap phones, then you are hitting your head to wall when you use laggy and buggy device and buy new device next year, maybe before, well if thats your thing, then ok.

                I Prefer quality everywhere what i buy, i buy good products so they last long and give me good experience.

                For example iv been rollerskating a lot, i didnt bought cheapest or medium price rollerskates, i bought almost the most expensives ones, because well the cheap ones were totally crap, my friend bought the cheap ones, and like you might imagine he didnt rollerskating long, because his rollerskate sucks big time. I rollerskated for years with the same rollerskates, yes the cost a lot but was worth of every penny.

                Why you think iOS devices still own over 60% of all the mobile web traffic? Well iOS users tend to like to use their devices because the usability is so great.

                  Great to see Moto still in competition. I guess the design factor has started taking its toll on Samsung. S4 is not ugly but they seriously need to revamp their entire range of phones... or Galaxies i mean. I think it's a wrong move from Samsung to name every other phone as Galaxy. They should have left it exclusive for the flagships or higher end phones. It gives a kind of false impression of super functionalities to the average lower end common buyer who makes his decision not on internet but shop. Galaxy this, Galaxy that... they need to put a break on this bulls*** .

If you think that business is something that is made to tear the pockets of consumers like us and earn super profits then I dont have anything much to say. No wonder on why smartphone giants earn huge sales revenue. According to me, money that I have is something that I earn out of my pain and hard work. I really value each penny that I spend and I really dont like to waste it on gadgets which are exorbitantly priced than there actual worth. There are majority of people in this world who dont even have a days meal. Just try it out, financially helping the above mentioned people will derive 10 fold satisfaction than using a smartphone. Again I say, use your money sensibly and buy a smart phone that is somewhere worth for the price that you pay. Good luck for your life friend! :)

                        I used ios, android, wp & symbian belle. Ios have great interface and good, wp have good interface and easy and have future, android is for children and game fun and fall at future. Symbian belle is very good for me, its very easy very usefull and very beauty. My point is : 1.symbian 2.wp 3.ios 4.android :-]

                              Smart people do research and review the phones' specs before buying it.. that's why they visit site like this. What is the use of these reviews and researches if we allow ourselves to be slave in one brand.. its better to go to your brand fan page and praise it! let the other do their review to make a choice..

                                I just wanna clarify something. if i have money I would buy a better phone than iphone. Also I would buy it unlock because here in US it's always modified. In fact, I just bought a Nokia pureview 808. Why you say...rather buying a point-to-shoot camera, I rather buy the Pureview 808 because It's almost a professional camera also a phone so yeah...The package that a costumer gets worth the price!...


                                I point is if you don't like a particular phone then don't buy it. If you like to follow a trend then go ahead. Personally, I rather know what I'm buying than just bought because of the look...Now that just plain ignorant consuming.

The maximum price they are charging for their phone in the name of premium brand is 647 US $!!! Any doubt? Copy and paste this link in your browsers address bar and see for yourself under the topic production: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki...5#section_2. So I guess the so called 'smart owners' of iPhone like to trash huge amounts of money in the name of satisfaction!! Apple iphone is a gadget which is only affordable for Americans as they get it at subsidised rates under carrier contracts and i am sorry to say that, again my American friends are easily tricked by the service providers as the monthly contract fees that they pay for two years, when's summed up together with the subsidised rate of iphone will be an amount much higher than the cost of iphone itself! A common message to all of my much respected fellow smart phone users. Be careful about each penny that you spend on smartphones. Before buying, make a thorough evaluation on the phone that you are buying. The smartphone manufacturers and service providers out there are really cunning and are always keeping an eye on your wallet!! Super profits are the major goals of such gaints. Beware customers!!! ;)
