For the last six years, finding and buying a new cellphone has been the easiest task for me. I've just ended up buying the newest iPhone everytime. No questions asked. 3GS, 4S and now 5S. I'm not so sure when it comes to my next phone though. iPhone 6S Plus? Nah.
The arguments for buying an iPhone have been the same over the years:
- It's so pretty
- I've bought so many apps that would go to waste
- It works well with my Mac, iPad and Apple TV
- I know how to use it
Now, though, I'm finally questioning this habit. My robot-like behaviour. First and foremost: I miss the thrill about buying a new phone. Secondly, it's so friggin' expensive nowadays. In Denmark, the 6S with 64 GB is going to cost around 7000 DKK (= $1050). I know it's gonna be a great phone and all but come on ... even if I had that kind of money lying around it's a lot in a market that's filled with nice and much cheaper phones.
Sooooo: Have you made the shift from iOS to, lets say, Android? I'm really considering the Oneplustwo. I'll still have my iPad Mini and Mac so I don't fell that I need a phone from Apple all that much.
