A friend of mine has a bag (I call it man-purse) that is cute and fashionable. Perhaps I should consider, Lol.

You can call it a laptop bag? Be all professional and stuff. ;-P

The M8 LOOKS like a nice phone. ...I will be eager to see what the iP6 offers...but really? The rMini and Air meet and exceed my big screen needs.

Does it have that special aroma?

I am a gadget lover so I like having multiples. I have 2 5s' in two different colors for when the battery dies on one. I got two iPads because there are times when my rMini may fit the task/environment better than the Air. Gadget lovers do gadget-lover things.

What did you do in the toilet with your phone? ����
*sigh* my android days. limitless customization, and supreme control of the surface level ui....but very little in the way of true utility. OP made the long-term-good-user-choice, imo (and if i read the thread correctly) by going with iOS/iPhone.
Are you serious?
What do you consider utility, and what can an iPhone do that isn't locked to Apple devices than an Android flagship can't?

To me nater, you already have the answer.
The utility is interacting with Apples walled garden, iTunes, airplay, iMessage, FaceTime.
Continuity, handoff, instant hotspot, airdrop and Touch ID to start..... Apps utilizing home kit, health kit, and extensibility to follow shortly.
All of these utilities cannot be reproduced by an Android device
Apple wasn't the first one with a fingerprint scanner. Them having a huge home button does give them an implementation advantage though.
Health and Home Kit are easy to reproduce - you just have to partner with the right place. The fitness tracker stuff has already been in Samsung phones for several months now. I think Google shouldn't have much issue personally.
Continuity and handoff aren't hard. Microsoft can already do the Office Stuff (and Google with Docs).
I was sending and receiving texts from my PC and having my PC alert me about phone calls in 2011 via Kies Air Message on the GS2.
AirDrop you can just use WiFi Direct. Can work with more than just one vendor's devices as well.
Extensibility... There are extensible Android apps.
Meanwhile, iOS still doesn't let you do something as simple as change what resolution video you're taking in the camera app.
There is not much that you can do on these phones than Android cannot do. The opposite, however, is not necessarily true. Android is a lot more flexible and utilitarian than iOS. That has never been the focus and strength of iOS.

No one is arguing whether they were the first, they are the best. Apple's implantation is unmatched in accuracy, speed, and security, unmatched. And no the s5's implementation isn't even in the same league as Touch ID. I should know, back in February, I was at the launch of the s5 during MWC.
It's not the same, no matter how much you want it to be.
As I said above, as flexible as android is, it will never be integrated into apples ecosystem, into apples walled garden.
- The S5 has nothing to do with this discussion.
- It is.
- And who cares about Apples ecosystem. This wasn't about that. Apple devices will never be integrated into Google or Microsoft devices and ecosystems. What is your point there. Native platforms are always advantaged when we're talking about their native services.
This is why I just ruled that out when I asked the question. To avoid a useless discussion. Why do you keep going back to it? You got nothing else? Also notice you left a lot out that I stated
Android is more flexible and has just as good integration with its native services as Apple devices with theirs. Only difference is Google and Microsoft are a bit more open with their services and hardware than Apple, so they don't dictate your device choices for using their services or other devices. That's called freedom (the kind worth talking about).

( This Off Topic) I wonder if you are actually free or have any freedom with all these technology stuff. Aren't we all slaves of tech? Freedom to put this and that software into a phone? They are just screwing you tight a bit by serving you the illusion that you are free.
