Why should I get a iPhone over any other smartphone?

I really want a iPhone (5c) but they are quite expensive. I was going to ask for it as a shared present for birthday and Christmas but my dad said 'why spent so much money when there are cheaper smartphones which do the same' and I couldn't answer that. Should I get an iPhone? Why are they better? Any other suggestions on other phones! My uses are: music, camera, social networks (fb, sc, ig) and using the internet.

If you want to sync your phone with a Mac computer or an iPad, it will work very well with an iPhone.

Get a flip phone. Even those are to expensive. I'm going to dump Verizon as soon as my contract is up.

I'll say consider 2 other phones, 1 the sony xperia Z1 or Z2, the do social very well like all good phones but they are also water proof, for me this means music in the shower and underwater photos, they also have great set of cameras.

Another phone which I just bought is the google nexus 5, imo its the best value phone, can get it from £299 and it does everything well and nothing bad, it just doesn't do anthing exceptional, its great all round though, actually what's exceptional about it is that you can charge it wirelessly but you have to buy another charger but yeah.

Go with iphone, they are simple, IOS is amazing and apple is a great company that priduce top quality phones

IPhones are better built, more secure & easier to use devices than other smartphones. Also have access to the best app & media galleries available

  • Why is my iPhone copying the same video over and over? So I took a screen recording earlier today and when I went to send it, there were about 50 of the same video. I thought alright i'll just delete them. So I did. And they returned. I now have over 300 of the same video and it keeps copying itself.
  • Why does Netflix keep pausing and playing over and over? I'm using it on my iphone 4. And I have checked my connections over and over I've uninstalled reinstalled, signed in signed back and everything else that the troubleshoot website has recommend. And it's gotten annoying. It didn't start doing this as much until I updated the app before the ios 7 release. I'm currently using the trial for netflix and my laptop doesn't work so I can get it on anything but my phone.
  • Why do people go crazy over the iPhone and other expensive cell phones? Some of those phones cost more than rent. I've never understood why someone would pay over $100 for a phone.
  • Should I buy an iPhone over an Android-Smartphone? What really attracts me to android devices is the HD large screen, features such as DLNA (for wirelessly streaming media from the phone to a compatible TV or computer -like in HTC devices-) and lastly, more storage as per price. please share.
