Thanks for buying the brand new iPhone 5c and iPhone 5S!!!

Now let us make you feel shitty about it.

Well, they desperately need a 5" / 1080p phone.

5.5 and 4.7" versions released.

Better cameras, faster chips, thinner, and a watch Spring 2015.

Samsung has the watch out now. Not for the iPhone, of course...

Wow, extra $100 for that 5.5" phone that everyone else offers at the normal $199 or less price.

Iphone will forever be behind the Android. I'm sorry, but if you're a tech nerd, the Iphone isn't for you. . . . .

I'm sure it's been argued here many times, but the Iphone is designed for the user who just wants shit to work. . . . In a very basic format. Android allows customization beyond the norm. If you're a nerd, you'll lean towards the Android platform.

And comon, lets quit with the whole "Iphone does what you want when you want" bullshit. We all know the Iphone has just as many issues as any other mobile OS these days, it's just as problematic as any Android on the market.

Iphone seems great for older people, like my grandparents for instance. They just want a phone that will do the basics, what they need, when they need it. The Android is designed for people like myself and the rest of you. . . . People who want a platform they can customize and make their own, different from the public. A platform that allows 3rd party applications, things such as the amazon app store. . . . Google even acknowledges the presence of 3rd party hack-apps. . . . That's right, apps on the Play Store that require root access to use. Does Iphone allow hackulous/appulous applications to thrive on their market? No sir.

Since everyone else was bashing the Iphone, thought I might add my thoughts. Hurrah to those who use the Iphone daily, and appreciate its stability.

My wife was watching the news this morning and commented on the line to buy iPhones: "Most of these people look like they're on welfare."

I wonder how many iPhones tax dollars bought today?

Meanwhile, the first guy in Perth to buy an iPhone dropped in on the concrete during a live TV interview. Whoops!

The Droid's open architecture OS is great for some things, but is the primary reason why it can't make further in roads into the business world. Not enough security and protective from viruses.

Aside from my shitty service provider, I'm getting less and less cool with my Android phone as time goes on.

1) Response time after key presses get slower and slower with every OS upgrade.
2) Web browser is complete ass.
3) Fuck the power monitor that occasionally only notices juice going away in 25% increments.
4) Downloading a PDF from my browser forces me to navigate out of and away from my browser to open it.

So many teen/20-yo people buy iPhones that clothing sales plummet when a new model is released.

Siri ensures I'll be using funny accents whenever I know I'm calling anyone with an iPhone.
