Re: Anyone switching back to Iphone?

If the iPhone 6 has a 5'' screen or bigger then I'm Back. I love the build quality on the Apple iPhones. Its a very sexy phone! Also they maintain their value. The iPhone 5 is still getting 400-500 bucks used where as I can't get 300 bucks for my note 2. Also, the iPhone gets updates way longer and faster. Unlike my note 2.... I'm still waiting for the 4.3 update :'(
All that being said, the note 3 is a excellent phone!

What do you mean? Since iOS 6, I believe we have gotten ICS, Jelly Bean and Kit Kat. Apple has only gotten iOS7

Someone mentioned that the updates are rare. So that's why I'm asking. I'm new to this, is it wrong to ask such question?

Well they're released to the Nexus line first. And then it takes a while to reach the other phones but I wouldn't say they're rare

Re: Anyone switching back to Iphone?

Not at this point. If Apple came out with a super sweet phone maybe as I try to get and try all the top end phones. But judging by the past several iterations that will never happen. At this point I plan to stay with the note 3. I have never been this happy with a phone ever. I will upgrade to the note 4 when that releases though 😎

Rockin my Note 3

Re: Anyone switching back to Iphone?

Ive got a GN2 and recently purchased a broken i4s from a friend to fix and sell. After the repairs I played with it extensively and found many "features" infuriating. The keyboard is absolute junk compared to Swiftkeys on my note2. The screen, which looks really nice, is tiny. I'm a gadget tinkerer and after about 2 days of getting to know the iphone I got bored. Yes its easy to use, but if you enjoy making your phone anything other than just a phone it'll bore you quick. I have alot of iphone using friends and most are not tech savvy at all. Different strokes.

After Google releases a new platform, each manufacturer has to make it work with their respective skin. Touch-whiz needs to be built around it, as does HTC's sense, etc. One of the reasons the Nexus devices are so popular is they don't require any other tweaks. It's also the reason that Apple is so stable in its vanilla boring way.

I liken it to using technology on training wheels....

Yes, they make the app available and free for that day only. On rare occasions, they make it available for free again. I've seen some of the Office products available for free after I got it via the app of the day.

When you get a FREE app of the day on Amazon Appstore, you own it the same as if you purchased it from the playstore. You can re - install it at anytime on any device. I'm not sure about updates or newer versions though.

Re: Anyone switching back to Iphone?

No. I now dread using my work iPhone because of how small the screen size is. Sometimes it's painful to type on.

I never thought I would say this but I had no issues with the iPhone prior to buying the note and now I feel like the screen is way way way to small.

Re: Anyone switching back to Iphone?

I'm actually one of the people on this forum that have an iPhone 5S. I made the decision that I'm done being in the Apple Environment. Sure, it's super smoothy buttery goodness in terms of performance... But what's all the performance if I can't use it the way I want to?

It's unfortunate because the phone cost me a lot of money. I will soon find a buyer and immediately get the Note 3 next :)

They just released the untethered jailbreak for all the latest Apple devices running iOS7.

yeah, and it has Taig on it, a chinese cracked app store and other questionable software. I will stick with rooting an android over jail breaking an iPhone with that.

Only way I'd get an I phone is if they jail broke it in such a way that made it bigger and let it run android :)
