whats the huge draw of the quadHD displays? I just don't get it

Those Joneses man, you got to make them feel bad about their shitty screens.

The batteries are only $30 on Amazon.

you could have bought a lipstick USB charger that would charge your battery twice for less than 30 bucks, which is inconvenient, but so is carrying around an extra battery


i'm not arguing apple vs. android....i'm just saying I would go the USB route before buying a spare battery

the usb battery has other uses

Why don't a lot of you guys stop caring so much what other people like and stop worrying so much about why they should or shouldn't like it?

We all good?

sounds great.

Android isn't going anywhere. In fact it is getting better and better

It's a fragmented mess that is losing market share.

Maybe your shitty Android devices can't access recent information.

Rather than compromising by making cheap products, which is how Android has it's market share (selling cheap phones to retards), Apple is keeping older models in production and putting them in price point competition with cheap Android phones. That's why Android is suddenly losing market share.

How someone could be so obtuse as to say that the growth in Apple in the last two years has occurred due to their traditional "fan base."

Do you go into public?

Is it 2009?

Look around.

Scoop says stop worrying about other people's phones

Oh my. :lol!

Their user base certainly appears to have some slight mental handicaps. It's kinda sad really

Not too big of a Boom because I knew anyone that took the time and was motivated could reach back a few years and find those but I posted it anyway because I really didn't care if someone did.

Those posts were years ago you will notice. As someone that used to be pretty passionate about this stuff, I eventually realized how completely retarded it was to care what someone else liked or used. A bunch of you should take the same journey.

I bought the iPhone 5 the day it came out. Have used it since, almost a year and a half, and will sell it next week for exactly what I paid for it including tax.

The phone came out 2 years ago, not 1.5. But you're most definitely not selling it for what it cost two years ago. You very well may be selling it for the subsidized price you paid for it, but don't confuse that with the product depreciating as much as it has.

Try doing that with any of those shitty android phones.

Well, the iPhone doesn't compare to "shitty" android phones. When you compare it to the flagship phones of different groups, you get relatively equal return on initial investment. For proof: search unsubsidized used android and iPhones. The price differences for those released at similar times in current similar conditions is usually within approximately $20. It's, at the absolute very least, comparable.
