Any buyer remorse?

[skywalkerr69]

As a huge supporter of Apple products (MacBook bro, iPod touch, iPad 3, iPhone 5, Apple TV) I have grown to love the items they produce due to many factors. I've bought every iPhone since the 3GS. Now, while playing with the 5, I feel kinda bored basically. I feel like I've bought the same item for 4 years straight. There's nothin wrong with the iPhone whatsoever, it's a great device with many bells and whistles but those bell and whistles don't make much sound anymore. I feel like my 4s is the exact same device with a smaller screen. Anyone else feeling like this purchase could have waited or was unnecessary? Anyone wish you could give another Platform a try for a while?

The iPhone is great. I feel a little remorseful paying $810 to keep my unlimited data though. Verizon scum..

Nope. No remorse here.

It's the best phone I've had. So, none at all.

I'm a gadget freak and I always run a couple of phones. Just now I have a BB9900 plus an S3. I've added an iPhone 5 (had a 4S) and I have to say that the screen on the 5 makes it special. My 4S was a bit sepia and the S3 is too dark. The BB9900 and the iPhone 5 have amazing screens. And a dark screen is a deal breaker for me.

The only remorse was selling my 4s to purchase the 5.

I liked my 4s, would have kept it around for a backup, but no regrets purchasing the 5

I think is it much about how people feel when using their devices (no matter what make / OS etc). Overall Apple products gave me the best feel when it came to design, built quality, OS, durability and (non-) value loss.
I had several iBook, MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iPad and iPhones (praise the Lord for eBay, otherwise I couldn't afford it ) since 2000 more or less with (usually very) short intervals of Windows laptops or Android mobiles and they just couldn't compare and leave the overall impression. They always had individual features (design and/or hardware and sometimes OS) that made me go "uhhh, thats nice" but then again issues I couldn't bear for more than a few weeks.
As mentioned before I think the Apple ecosystem is the overall killer feature that makes it worthwhile to invest in Apple products.
My latest non-Apple adventure btw was a HTC One X - excellent phone, but the battery only lasted for an office day with tweaking a lot and I never managed to airplay anything (tried about 10 different Android apps) without problems to my Apple TV.
I now have the iPhone 5 (besides other i-hardware) and it all just works again!
