Good for you!! Enjoy, Jake!!! Happy Anniversary to you!! :D

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

Thank you!!

Thanks, everybody!

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...

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...

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...
