    16G wifi+ LTE or 32GB wifi only?

    It depends on how much you travel. I travel a fair amount, so having the 16GB Verizon model worked out great for me. Plus, with T-Mobile as my phone carrier, I knew that there would be plenty of areas that I'd travel through that I had NO coverage whatsoever. So, that was my reasoning for...

    Traded my Note 3 for a iPhone 5..

    Honestly, I think you should have kept the 64GB iPhone 5. You made out like a bandit on the first trade! But, trading the iPhone 5 for a G2 was a major step back. Nothing against the G2, but the iPhone 5 had more storage space and was/is worth more. But, at the end of the day, do what works for...

    T-Mobile's 'Get Out of Jail Free Card:' they'll pay your early termination fee to switch

    Yes, sort of. He called AT&T desperate for preemptively stealing their play.

    No Compromises

    Welcome to iMore, brother! I'm enjoying the new Mini, as well. I came from a Nexus 7 2013. While it was a great tablet, it felt more like a phone. After moving to the new Mini, I realized how much I had been missing out on, from not giving iOS a try awhile ago. Hope you enjoy it as much as I...

    Android and IOS?

    If your 4S is running iOS7, then you have access to iTunes Music (which is a free alternative to Pandora, etc) and iTunes Match (which is a cheaper alternative to Google Music, at $25/year). You also have access to Apple's huge selection of apps. And, if you're into mobile accessories, you'd...

    iPad mini w/ retina vs iPad 4

    As the other two posters have correctly noted, the new iPad Mini is basically a scaled down version of the iPad Air. However, if you're basing your choice on photo and image editing, then you should be aware of the color gamut "issues." Apparently, as referenced from several websites, the...

    Not new to iMore, but new to iOS

    Hey everybody! Happy Holidays! I've been an Android fan for quite awhile, but decided to take the plunge and grab an iPad Mini retina today. It's quite the departure from Android, but isn't as different as I thought it would be. Nonetheless, the build quality on this thing is phenomenal, and iOS...

    Can Apple afford to stay high-end only?

    I agree, that Apple's products are too expensive for people in emerging markets. However, I wouldn't say that "Apple is losing ground in emerging markets," since they really don't target those markets. In the future, this could change. And agreed, on the Lumia 520 doing well. At $99, its a...

    Can Apple afford to stay high-end only?

    I completely agree with your comment. However, although the vast majority of people purchases their devices on-contract, I still think the iPhone does compete, price-wise off-contract. The off-contract price of the iPhone 5s is $649, for the 16GB version: this is comparable to the Galaxy S4...

    Is it possible to buy a used iphone 5 for 250$ or less?

    I would go for a 4S, at that same price point. It's not uncommon to see the 4S priced around $200, now that it's two generations behind. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Mobile Nations mobile app

    Is it possible to buy a used iphone 5 for 250$ or less?

    Yeah, it may have a cracked screen, or it may even be a stolen phone. Or, it could have been dropped in a toilet bowl... :screwy: Sent from my Nexus 4 using Mobile Nations mobile app

    The free 4S will be an 8GB

    Most, actually all, of my friends that have iPhones only have music and pics stored, anyway. I have about 500 mp3s on my Nexus 4, and that only uses about 2-3GB of space. Also, with a lot of people using music streaming apps, there's less of a need to have massive amounts of storage. In my...

    The free 4S will be an 8GB

    That's a great deal, considering that most (maybe all?) of the other phones that are free on contract are crap, lol. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Mobile Nations mobile app

    Verizon... c'mon! are you kidding?

    You can always threaten to leave. I've never done it, but I've heard that it works wonders for some people. Just don't try to do it more than once. Then they'll actually call your bluff lol
