couldn't. I was at the apple store ready to cop the iphone. The more I played around with it the more I :what::scust::comeon:. Told ole girl to put the phone back. Apple's lack of innovation in recent years is pathetic. Google is killing them in that regard. I stopped using Iphones about 4 years ago and not much has changed from then to now. The OS is stale and boring and some functions are just retarded. I see OSX the same way but that's another topic for another day. Good screen, camera and build quality. But the iphone has always been this way. What else have they improved on? Not much. Apple reminds me of EA with the Madden line. Luckily it's an open market and Android is making huge strides. Nexus 6 is a better buy. HTC is a better buy as well.

I don't have an allegiance to Apple or Android so I feel like I have a pretty unbiased mindset here... But I just can't see paying 3-400 more for an iphone over a premium android phone. And "ecosystem" or "it just works" just isn't a good enough reason.

Apple to me makes some pretty good products...but their products especially the iphone are more of a class thing than anything. More of an "I can afford one too" thing.

Ipad is great. I understand paying a premium for those. I can kind of understand macbooks. But the iphone to me doesn't make any sense paying way more than the competition.

I'm open to being swayed, though.

I have no clue, really. There is no phone out there that I really want. I remember when the first few iphones dropped, I really wanted them. I had to have them. Now? Meh.

apple specializes in overpriced simplified fisher price tech for kids, old people and hipsters

Seems that way..but they do some things pretty well. Design is 2nd to none. Quality is good as well. But they rely on that. No need to innovate when nikkaz will line up for anything you put out.
