Last week I purchased an Iphone. I had been hoping to wait for the next model but my phone was a travesty. It shut off all the time, whenever it felt like it. So I bit the bullet and paid $200 and upgraded.
Now I have not used the Android platform. Therefore I cannot compare them to the Iphone. They might well be quite similar and interchangable. What Apple has however is a great advantage in that as more people get their Ipads and Computers they are more likely to get Iphones and vice versa.
I think the percentage of people with Ipads and Android phones is small. Apple, perhaps better than any other company has loyal customers across all their product lines.
I am not a fan of Apple persay. Folks who think the company is consumer friendly are right but only in the fact that they realize being consumer centric is good business. Apple is not a hippie company with goals to better the world. They are simply profit driven and blessed with brilliant people. Steve Jobs was a visionary. Anyone however comparing Jobs and Bill Gates, he of the incredible philanthropy would say that Jobs lost the battle of who is the person we admire.
However, the Iphone is incredible. Siri is amazing and she is still only Beta. I have trouble typing and writing and can now dictate an entry. Or a text, or an email. or a reminder.
The platform is familiar, it is really an Ipad made small, or I should say an Ipad is an Iphone made made big.
Apple makes products that are attractive and easy to use. Using this Iphone I feel very satisfied with the purchase, that the two hundred dollars was well spent.
