? Yes, better. If you think the iPhone 5 (for example) is a better phone than an HTC One or S4 then I'm afraid you're deluded ... rather like Apple as I've described - too complacent, resting on laurels too much etc etc! There's your problem!
I don't have the slightest concept of what could make either of those devices "better" than the iPhone 5. Honestly.
I've seen them, that's about it. They're ugly, the software is atrocious, the battery not good, and overly big for a phone...Oh, and they're not Apple products. We're at a point in time where that alone is a factor...because an iPhone fits into my ecosystem of Apple products, instantly. You buy it, turn it on, log in, and its your iPhone. Its your iCloud account. iCloud is more than enough reason to never, ever buy any device other than Apple.
So what is it that makes those devices even "good" let alone better than iPhone 5?
