Bull****. A handheld device, meant to be used in one hand while standing up, walking in crowded areas or even running is not something that you should be afraid of dropping.
Such a device should be engineered to either handle a fall or be inexpensive, or both. The iPhone EXCESS is neither.

But, this fone might be able to run Arena of Valor for 5-7 hours..

U know, for when you want to miss the entirety of that outside event you're pretending to be participating in..

yeah! my 5S has been trusty for the last 5 years but i think it's finally time for an update haha (especially since the seal around the screen is going so it doesn't sit quite flush with the body anymore)

BTW, in 2011, the 16GB Phone 4S was $199, and the price of the 8GB iPhone 4 got its price dropped to $99.

that must be On-Contract pricing.

I remember buying the very first 8gb iphone for $600.

Don't think I'm getting an iPhone again.
Still not 100% decided, but it's looking like I might replace my iPhones with something else, probably a OnePlus 6. Just don't feel like paying that much for a phone.
Yes I use it a lot and for a lot of things - gaming NOT being one of them though. I don't want to game on a phone when I have a PS4 and a PC at home.

Def not a 1+,  they're known ch33terz on the benchmarks.. hahahahaha.. and their camera is no good, small companies don't have the budget for an entire photo department.

The only person we trust at the moment, who was caught ch33ting but STOPPED cheating is Samsung.

Samsung s10 is prolly the way to go if ur doin android. and they will for certain take great pictures.

I've tried Samsung and I don't like their bloated-ass apps and UI.
Not that fussed about pictures either really.

That's from the s2 to s5 days.. it's one of the older complains.

s6 and on, the UI is great.. the latest touchwiz 9 is very clean and bloat free.

Other than the tech is inferior, drastically overpriced, the company ignores what customers actually want, and that it has less features with each model?
Well other than that, nothing I guess.

Pretty sure I had an s6 and I didn't like that either. I will probably attribute that to the memory leak more than anything that was going on around the time I switched back.

Although the aesthetic is clean; can't justify a getting an iphone ever again. Don't want to buy into the ecosystem and I didn't really enjoy my experience with it.  Have a pixel 2 right now which is decent; but I'd like another phone with a stylus. Maybe the new Note from samsung.

I love my Xperia XZ1 Compact.

I'm here to kick ass and chew bubblegum--and I'm all out of bubblegum.


At some point during the worst timeline iphones were almost waterproof. That sans headphone jack tho..
