The last iPhone I had was the 3Gs. I just cant stand apple's BS... I mean, I cant even use a micro SD card in my iPhone?? Just so apple can charge hundreds more for the 64GB version?? I like the iOS operating system because it is quick and responsive, but it is so locked down like their hardware that I just cant stand it. You have to jailbreak it just to use some of the apps you want to use that arent "apple approved", not to mention the added apple tax - you can get a comparable non-apple phone with similar (if not better) specs for usually half the price.
Its a total racket. Apple purposefully left out an SD card slot just so you cant save hundreds of dollars and buy the smallest GB iPhone version and pop a 32GB SD card in it. If apple werent so greedy and at the very least added a micro SD card slot, that would have made me somewhat more content with using one of their devices.
It also pisses me off that they release a new iPhone every 6 to 8 months, then they stop supporting the older generation phones with the new iOS releases. You spend $700 on a new iPhone just to have it be outdated in less than a year...then you have to spend another $700 for the new iPhone 5, 6, 7, etc... Its the same with the BS iPad - release a new one every 8 months and the last generation iPad instantly goes down in value by half. You cant expand the memory in it either, like the iPhone, so you download games and videos and music and fill it up constantly, so you are always having to look for stuff to delete so you can fit something else on there. iCrap devices just frustrate me more than anything. They look all nice and shiny, and the OS is nice and responsive...but they are intentionally crippled and very limited.
As it is, I have had an Android phone since around the time the iPhone 4 came out and havent looked back once. Everything I do on my computer I can do on my Android phone. I absolutely love it. Most games that I had to pay for on the iTunes store I can get for free on Android. Sure there are a couple ads here and there, but I usually shut my data off to save battery when Im not using it, so I dont even see the ads. Any app I can think of I can find, download, and use on my LG android phone. I got a LG Nitro HD (duo core 1.5GHz, 8MP camera, etc.) and it is the best smart phone I have ever had. Rarely do I have any problems with it, and it is quick and responsive. Battery life is great - I can be listening to music on it for 8 hours straight at work and the battery is only down to 65%...even with a live/animated wallpaper going in the background.
Also, WiFi reception is hands down way better on my Android phone than in any iPhone I ever had. At work I was lucky to get 1 bar on the wifi router we have in the lobby. I usually get 2 to 3 bars all day long on my Android phone. Also, the cell phone reception seems better as well. I used to get no bars at my buddys house out in the sticks unless I went outside. With my Android phone I get at least 1 to 2 bars of cell phone reception, and that is with the burly Ballistic case I have on it so I wont destroy my phone at work. Even the camera seems more clear and crisp on my LG Android phone.
I just love the fact that android, or non-apple devices, allow for the use of micro SD memory expansions, so if I fill up the 16 or 32GB micro SD card in my phone, I just pop the full one out and stick a new one in and I am good to go. I have a 16GB card just full of mp3s and archer TV episodes to listen to and watch at work. Absolutely love it.
