i no exactly why i bought and love the iphone , it works! Its way ahead every other company sinply shoves the newest peice of technology onto and older phone design and os . LG and samsung especially . Iphones have huge respect and are not expected to go wrong and so i have confidence to spend more money and be secure for my 18 months and almost be garenteed that they wont update to a newer model and leave you stranded within 6. Also there is a community surrounding all apple products and though reading through the fourums these problems look widespread . they are nothing compared to other manufacturers where people simply do not bother getting there phones fixed or complaining on fourums because thats all theyd end up doing !
