I used to have a Samsung Galaxy S III. But I switched to an iPhone to maintain compatibility with iTunes (and because I was familiar with iOS based on using it on an iPod Touch and iPad). Fat chance I'm going to an Android phone again because of my heavy investment in the iOS ecosystem (and the fact on the iPhone, thing actually work for the most part).
This fall, I will likely finally retire my iPhone 6 (64 GB Space Gray) for a new iPhone 8 (256 GB Black--though not Jet Black). And it will likely have most of the user interface I'm familiar with, too.
Hi there
Im happy you're enjoying the apple ecosystem like i am
Ill advise you to probably upgrade to the 6s plus when the new ones come out because they will have gotten more affordable
i recently lost my iPhone 6s plus and even though i could have gotten a 7 or 7 plus i opted not to and got another 6s plus
First off with the 6s plus i had all i wanted from a phone straight out of the box
I didn't have to be convinced that i needed courage to spend an extra $169? to get AirPods
I don't know why people think apple will release an iPhone 8 this year
THEY WONT
Why would they when they can release an 7s with dodgy courageous updates like
1.NEW A11 Chip that will somehow be 2x faster than A10 {and most people won't notice wow i never knew i needed so much speed with the A11 chip}
2.The brightest and most colorful iPhone yet {lol really its on apples page}
3. 2 cameras that shoot as one {but still the same as the last iPhone}
4 More WaterRESISTANT {Key word resistant not proof because **** you if you leave it in water and it malfunctions}
5 Faster LTE and worldwide roaming {Roaming you won't need because you only use it when you travel 2 weeks a year but you're elated your new iPhone has it}
6 IOS 11 {lol this one is probably worth the upgrade but then again iPhone 5s may run it too so?}
7 lol lets not forget the "Wireless Effortless AND MAGICAL AirPods we won't give you for free even though your phone is now worth a thousand bucks
8 Our team is working on a new color to trick your brains into wanting it too even though you never wanted it till we released it , We will call it Water Clear or SNOW WHITE
and then make money only to release the 8 next year and make around the same money or more?
Think of it like this
Apple releases iPhone 8 this and makes 400 million
or Apple releases 7s makes 300 million this year and releases 8 next year to make 400million
Yeah Im pretty sure they'll prefer the latter
Why skip a generation of iPhone when you can make money off it
Like i said i have an iPhone 6s plus and a 2014 Mac but I'm not a blind loyalist
The fact i WILLINGLY give them my money gives me a right to expect more from them
Gone are the days i happily chugged down the CoolAid
Apple needs to be more accountable to their costumers
