Hi peeps!
Have to say. Prior to the trying the 4S, i was absolutely anti-apple. Finally bit the bullet and bought one after my siblings all got one.
I too am a self confessed gadget addict. I've been through numerous phones and am currently on my second iphone 5 again after taking a sabatical to try WP, BB10 and Android. Prior to the 4S i also dabbled with meego, symbian, windows mobiles the list goes on. Time has not been kind to my bank wallet. Would love to be a tester !!
Safe to say i'm back again and hopefully getting a 5S.
I get bored very easily and i guess i find iOS to be fluid, fast, stable and easy to use. It just seems to work i guess which probably makes my mind wander a little after a while. Download an album on itunes and it appears on your phone, facetime family with mimimum hassle no problem, stream photos to the apple tv etc. initially i wasnt keen on being "locked down" to an ecosystem but when you look at the integration and fluidity of the whole process you appreciate the apple brand.
I miss the customisation of the others OS' but having thought about it thats all i miss which is strange. I dont even mind the size of the screen after having used 5 inchers like the htc butterfly. I
actually prefer a 4- possible 41/2 inch screen tops. Getting into the settings etc was always a mission and frustrating but iOS 7 has made some big changes which i look forward to.
Compared to newer phones the i5 may not win the specs war but i've never found it to be lacking in grunt, slow or unresponsive.
How long before i jump to another OS again i cant tell. Will i still return to the iPhone guaranteed!
