I had to downgrade to a 5s. Lol lost my job due to federal fraud charges to the company. I miss my 7 plus and miss the cases @blaine07 buys. I can’t compete anymore. I’m so lost lol. It’s not by choice. Lol the battery is forked so I’m tethered to a battery pack
Wow, sorry to hear; I'm sure you'll come out on top thouh! I haven't bought at 7+ stuff lately. Been playing the S8+ game

Lol gives me time to catch back up lmao those ****ers took my 7 plus as “evidence” lmao
 
Nope lol. Because it was used at work feds took it as evidence. I miss it so so much
 
My issue is not the Samsung its the Android software that i dont like the IOS suit me better
Yes i agree, android has its benefits of course. I like the customisation aspect. The apps are really strong on iOS in comparison though. Androids apps are getting better but iOS apps and even iOS is solid.

Usability the S6 is great in that the screen size is good. Down side is that it's just a touch too big in skinny jeans pockets especially when moving around.
 
Back on topic: I use an iPhone 5 as my backup / second line.

It's the Feds. I doubt it.
My tb mbp
My brand new razer
Ip7plus
And the more expensive I watch. All gone.
Sorry to hear. That sucks!
[doublepost=1497754994][/doublepost]This just bothers me, a lot. Can't they just copy the contents and give it all back?
 
I keep getting torn between my two devices.

The reliable solid iOS with a not so good camera but better apps. Smaller battery as well of course.

Or latest android decent camera ok battery being bigger and slightly worse apps..

So annoying. I must have switched back and forth yesterday around 5 times not knowing which to settle on...
 
Still hangin' with my trusty 5S. There was a time when I went 4 years of "New Model" each year, but the 6 didn't inspire me to change, nor the S version the next year. The 7 looks interesting now with the 8 just out. Why? Cause the 8 is the 7 with typical "Just A Little Better" like I experienced between 4 and 5S.
4 phones that were in essence very close. What changed? Well, these minor "Features" that had nothing to do with day to day life on the phone. They were, in essence, just tiny candy to make me bite into a huge bit of money to be had by Apple.

I remember meeting someone who had the first iPhone during the iPhone 4 release. He was reluctant to upgrade and I wondered how he could think that way. I could argue against that time, but I can't these days. The models from my 5S to now are all fine devices. What comes after is a pecking order of tiny bits of BS in real use. The camera? Please, it's the size of an insect. There's no magic when it comes to lenses and size or light. The Bionic (OK, we're already into high order BS with "Bionic") processor? Go ahead, and call it Titanic! Oh Wait, that didn't go well ;)

"It's the Best" is used every year and people just let that little bit go with the baby need to create a Xmas present for themselves each year. I get it. I was There. It's fun! I don't fault anyone the pleasure of one more opening of the thing that gives so little and means so little, and yet it's somehow important in a tiny moment. The fact that 12 months later, you're feeling the same thing to make the "New" is an obvious hint to the "Sell" of the newest Gloss. Get My Meaning?

If Not, Peace to you
 
Just bought a new SE 64gb. It is excited to hold and handle with one hand. The design is still undefeated by those latest bezeless pieces of metal.
 
I own 2 iPhone 4’s. One is my sons which is worth £10 and ones’s my late wife’s which I’ll never part with. Only a phone but means so much.
 
My mom does! It’s a hand me down back in 2015 from me. She’s fine with it since she uses her iPad for media consumption.

This model and the 4 are the epitome of Apple design. Just classic proportions.

I'm using my good old 4s right now. Just sold my 7 Plus and plan on something new with all the Black Friday deals going on. It's old but still gets the job done, at least for a few more days anyway.
 
Used my 5s from about one week after that launch until November 3, 2017. My 5s served me well, but I am very pleased with my upgrade :) My husband still is using his 5s and 5c, but considering an upgrade to an 8+ or an X soon.
 
I use the old iPhone 5 from my late aunt to use as a music box to help my daughter fall asleep. The aunt passed away shortly after my daughter was born 15.5 months ago, and my uncle didn’t have a need to keep the phone or number anymore.
 
I owned an iPhone 5 from 2012 until 2016 before it died on me. (I should maybe take it to an independent apple repair shop one day to revive it) After that I was desperate to replace my phone because I was traveling and backpacking at that time and I needed a smartphone to help me with my travels and planning, as well as using gps to find places.

I bought an iPhone SE in 2016 while I was in Japan, and still have it. It's a beast of a phone with iphone 6s internals in an iPhone 5/5s body. Of course I am so very tempted to get an iPhone X despite telling myself stick with the SE for 1 more year until the 2nd version of iPhone X comes out in late 2018.
