Iphone Versus Other Mobiles

[whiskeryron]

Bearing in mind that iPhones have sealed batteries & others have replaceable batteries is there a valid reason to buy iPhones ?

[ummmm]

I didn't even know that.

I have an iphone6 but it's a work phone. My other phone is a Nokia Lumia windows phone. The iphone is far superior...

[joggerjayne]

I don't think so.

I have an iPhone, but other models have ...

Better cameras
Better batteries
Better screens
Better Bluetooth
Better RAM specs
Better Apps compatibility

Etc, etc

My current iPhone is only a few months old, but it's an absolute dinosaur compared with the other phones on the market.

Conspicuous consumption ? Being part of the i crowd ?

[Prudie]

I don't have one but know many who swear by them - I'm convinced 90% of their loyalty is so they can say they have one. It's got the highest kudos factor by miles.

[ummmm]

I agree with that, Prudie.

As the adverts say, why would you buy a phone which operates another companies software. Apple make the hardware and software. The battery being removable is completely irrelevant.

[whiskeryron]

Thanks for your answers guys. I am convinced as is Prudie that the iPhone is merely a status symbol

[Zacs-Master]

Compare the number of questions on this site about android phones and iPhones.

My Motorola Moto G doesn't have a replaceable battery either.

However it was dirt cheap at Tesco, as it was an obsolete model.

It does everything I want it to do, and I'm not worried about having a fashion item.

[Psybbo]

I find it a convenience and don't know about status symbol, it was passed to me after son upgraded

I personally think the iPhone is better but have a lumia due to cost. I think the iPhone is completely overpriced!

My iphone6 never crashes but the android does often.

[tamborine]

Wot u need gavmac is a daughter that constantly updates (gold) & I get old silver buckshee ;)

[Hopkirk]

My Android has never crashed.

[Gavmacp]

Tamborine,
What I have never understood is the people that queue outside waiting for the latest iPhone etc without really knowing whether it is any good.

[tamborine]

Freebies for me, so no choice. The annoying bit is on AB & expanding the page.

My new Nokia Lumia is crap compared to my daughter & sons iphones.

[Gavmacp]

trt,
I do rather agree. The apps are a joke!

[Zacs-Master]

Gav, no need to wonder. They're always good. ;-)
