What's the big attraction to iPhones? - 1

Having never been able to afford an iPhone, my first smartphone was a Sony Ericsson Android and I loved it. I've since had many newer androids and 4 different tablets, all of which I have had many hours of fun and productivity, always finding something new.

However, I've recently got a new job which comes with a company phone. I was asked if I wanted a Blackberry or iPhone so I chose the iPhone as, from what understood it, it is the king of all phones and finally I would get to be part of the iPhone phenomena.

So I was given a brand new iPhone 4S two weeks ago. First impressions, it's good looking, weighty and feels really good quality. Then I turned it on and set it up…
That's where my disappointments began. Yeah, the display is good and it has a good camera, but is that it? The Apps Store is rubbish compared to Google's Play store. I can't do half the useful things I can do on my Android, even plugging it into the PC is frustrating and cumbersome when it comes to moving and copying data/media, it's just not simple and is so restrictive! I can't manage my files from within the phone.i. E.explore the file structure. The list goes on-and-on. I know I could jailbreak, but I couldn't be bothered, plus it's a company phone.

So, what's the big deal with iPhones? Am I missing something? Please, tell me?

I'm just glad my employer didn't give me the choice of an Android too like the Sony Ericsson Xperia Z… Because I would be So upset if I realized I'd opted for this boring iPhone instead of an awesome Android.

Basically it can do almost anything. That was foreign when it first came out, that's why it's still a big craze. It's all about preference though. I really enjoy it, in fact I'm answering this question on my iphone right now. There's a lot of things you can do with it that you may not be aware of. It's really about preference though. Many people enjoy it but I'm sure many enjoy android phones as well.

Fashion, created by extremely clever marketing. For example Hollywood films have had them in as they look more futuristic and they have aimed them at the Female market, which is huge more than the male one. So good for them. I wouldn't buy one because there so expensive and also call me old fashioned but I like things that actually work.

I agree apple just doesn't match up to android.id suggest you look for a good apple podcast that teachs u all about the phone. You should still be able to do tones of stuff if you know how.

I'm typing this answer from my iPhone
Well I like it because the texting is awesome
iMessage is quick and awesome
It's like a mini computer and it can keep you busy on a boring day I love it
And I've had an android before and they're nice but not addictive like the iPhone
I do most of my research on my iPhone that's why I love it and it took me like a week to get used to it

  • What's the big deal about the Iphone 5? What is the big deal about the Iphone 5 there hasn't been any big changes in my opinion it is still the Iphone 4 just with a bigger screen and little differences. In my opinion it is more like an Iphone I prefer the Galaxy Note 2 over the Iphone 5 despite the size i think it is just overall better and the apps are free. Only thing I think is great about the Iphone is I have heard the battery life is amazing.
