Should I upgrade to the iPhone 5? I'm a current Android user?
So I'm a Verizon customer and I currently have an Android (HTC Thunderbolt to be exact) and I have an upgrade coming up in December. I was wondering if I should get the iPhone 5. The main reason I want to get it is because my Thunderbolt has been acting up for the longest time. Randomly rebooting, saying that there's no SD card when there's and my service cuts off every 5 minutes. I live really close to the Bay Area (the San Francisco area) so I doubt it has anything to do with me being too far away from the cell phone towers and I even got the latest update!
Another reason why I want to get an iPhone is because of the 64GB model. Yes, I know, a dumb reason to some but hears why I NEED all that space. I'm a music maker, I'm also a music enthusiast. I need some for work (I write songs for an entertainment company so I need the instrumentals & demos with me everywhere I go) and I need some for my personal use (ie when I'm driving and exercising). I also DJ for parties in my spare time so I like to make my playlists ahead of time.
Also I'm planning on moving to Japan soon and I heard that the iPhone works in Japan. My Android does but I had to look for a specific type of sim card and that took forever. If it takes any sim card or a widely known sim card (the Verizon model) that is also a plus!
Added (1). Panos - I don't really think that Japan has Verizon. From what I was told I may need a prepaid kind of service. I heard good things about the gs3 but from what I've heard I need to buy the 64GB separate. I really want a phone for music and the occasional video/picture taking. I think the most I would do to a phone is jailbreak/root it.
I love my iphone, i would recommend it to people, also the galaxy s3 is a good contender. Both great phones, if you like tweaks and 3rd party apps then get the gs3 but if you like games from the app store and itunes for music then get iphone 5.
go to the store and play with them both.
but you have to watch if verizon is big in japan.
sprint has global phones such as the evo 4g lte and the iphone is also.
- Why would an iPhone user suddenly be unable to text another i phone user? My husband and I have both have iPhones (through Verizon if it matters) and for the last week anytime he's tried to text me it doesn't go through.
- Why can't I see snaps on my iphone from an android snapchat user? My friend has an android my touch and every time he sends me or my girlfriend a video (we both have iphones) we can't see it? We can see his pics but not videos. We're able to see other videos from other android users and his wife who has an android can see his videos but why can't we? Any help would be awesome!
- When Android user sends text to a mixed group of iPhone and Android users? A family member who is an Android user sent a text message to a large group of recipients, including me. The group has both Android users and iPhone users. I'm an iPhone user. Does this mean that I will receive everyone else s messages like an iMessage group, or will all messages go directly between the conversation starter and whoever is messaging him, without any of the other group members seeing what the other members said?
