Disappointed in iPhone 5s

[acadia11]

First of all, there's no blind lust. I don't buy Apple products just because its made my Apple. I buy them because they work for my lifestyle and if you read my previous post, I said I believed they do hold on to features. Secondly, I never said LTE, NFC & MMS are gimmicky nor are they Samsung exclusive features. I specifically said Samsung, which is only one of the many companies that manufacture Android devices!!! I came from Android and I still love what the OS has to offer but SAMSUNG, IMO, uses gimmicks (Air Gestures, Smart Scroll...etc) to sell devices. They'll get used in the first few days or weeks, then they get turned off! You always get your panties in a bunch when someone disagrees with you. Its a forum and people post their opinions...get over it!!! Not everyone is biased!

I'm a grown axx man I don't wear panties, so they certainly don't get bunched!

Why must every single person who defends their opinions somehow draws the worse out of the other parties? Why can't everyone just accept that different people view tech differently? Lol

Yeah, I see that but a lot of the youngsters come to these forums to argue. I guess that releases some tension or something.

It's the anonymity of online. Where most people aren't generally running around starting fights outside the internet, they can easily do it here. Opinions are the only thing we really know each other by in a forum...

I'm holding myself in control. I'm on the verge of spending more money to get a 5s (Which I absolutely, positively, don't need).

There's nothing wrong in being disappointed in a device that you purchase but you gotta do research on it before you buy. Wait a few weeks after initial release to see what the reviews are.

Try to make a decision in the 14 day return period. Especially if you drop $800 plus on a something or even if you do a contract.
If you go outside the return window live with your decision.

Initially try to make the best choice for what you need and like to do with a mobile device.

Because we have certain members on this website that, instead of logically and factually discussing Apple related news and topics, decide to spout off about whatever negative thing they can find, even if it isn't true or remotely relevant.

That's unfortunate.

I just don't have time to use tablets/iPads. I'm generally always at work. That's probably why I'm eyeing the 5s, since I sell them, they are always right there in my face.... I lasted 4 days before getting the 5c. Let's see what happens.

So you don't want to play games on the go? Gameboys were great for that too.

Have a Vita for that, and a 3DS XL soon. I'm a big gamer/fan.

Go with a silver or space grey 5s. No reason to fight it any longer. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.

I've read that some people don't keep or keep access to any personal or sensitive data on their phones. So, perhaps the OP is in that category.

But if you lose your phone or someone steals it they can very easily use it. I take some comfort in knowing that if my phone falls into the wrong hands it'll at least be next to impossible for them to use it.

As for the OP, you knew it was an incremental upgrade. I skipped the 5S and will probably skip all S upgrades in the future. I've not used the 5S but I feel like a lot of it now is just marketing and hype from Apple (or Apple focused blogs, etc), not really something the average user would really want or need or miss if they didn't have it. My guess is you're more mad at yourself for falling victim to the hype.

Gone from the 5 to the 5s and haven't regretted at all.

 

[Jrome.brooks]

The s models have always been good in my eyes

 

[Johnly]

So the 5s (or the s models) are the best versions right? So upgrading every s year or four always gets you the best iteration right? All reality, it is so dang good to be back on iOS! No matter what the version
