I've tried Android a couple of times.
And blackberry through a period of about 4/5 years.
Always end up back at apple - much to my dismay.
Id love to be able to use the android system and have all that control and not be locked down to things that Apple decree.
But the tradeoff is I never have any issues, back ups are easy, had issues with 2 iphones (wifi chip blowing up on one and water damage on the other) and just did a backup / restore onto the new handset and didnt lose anything.
Each to their own, but I prefer the ease of use on the iclones. (But as I said - I wish I didn't).
edit: I wish even more so now that I've seen the S8... Might be time to try android again... ____________________ 1993 RF400R - 2002 Bandit 1200 - 2012 1250 FA |

We can all find individual cases if we look. I'm taking about the chances of you needing a repair as an end user.
Google picture search for exploding Iphone, there's thousands for you to look at.]
iphones are notorius for the screens braking, there are always posts in my local Facebook selling sites of people needing an Iphone repaired and I'm not even sure I've seen one for a Samsung yet. ____________________ struan80 - I'll go first - satisfied tick 1 |

Because it's the note 7, it was never going to be a huge seller, it was a niche device, now stop baiting.
Or do you actually think the Note 7 was desitined to be their flagship model? |
Samsung themselves claimed that it affected 1.9m phones in the US alone.
No, it was never going to be their flagship model, but just because it wasn't popular here doesn't mean it was a worldwide failure either, the Note was very popular in the US and Asia
Baiting? Stop being so blinkered!

Certainly the newer Samsungs have outsold iPhones, but there are still a lot of older iPhones out there. I believe stats back in early 2016 showed just how popular the iPhone 5 models were, which is probably why they released the SE ____________________ Rogerborg wrote: It'd certainly make it easier to ego-find my own posts on pages, given the number of fags (gay like traps) who insist on putting my name in their .sig

Strange how different news sites report in different ways...
https://www.zdnet.com/article/android-smartphones-suffer-from-significantly-higher-failure-rates-than-iphones/
Anyway Samsung do make very good phones as do Apple for me they are both aesthetically pleasing and reliable. Iphones have had there problems of late with battery replacement recalls and the like, but in my experience these are handled pretty well and painless which for me is the important bit.
I understand OP has had problems with them this time and if I was him I would either chalk it up to piss poor fault handling or kick up a fuss and try to get a discount for them messing me around. ____________________ "no I didn't steal it that's just the way I ride" |

I borrowed a spare 6 plus, backed up my data, transferred it to the loan phone, then transferred back when the new phone arrived.
That's one thing I like about Iphones, they are easy to shift everything from device to device. |
Then you should like other phones too - I got the S8+ a couple of weeks ago, transferring from my S6 was seamless and extremely quick. No wires involved.
As for the hardware, someone at work has a new [big] iPhone 7 (Plus?) - it looks _so_ old fashioned next to the S8+, someone said that it was like comparing an old CRT TV to a modern flatscreen, which is a pretty good analogy. ____________________ '12 NC700S & '12 CB600F Hornet [Stolen by some dickless twat] Suzuki GT500 shed |

So the newer phone looks newer than the older phone, funny how that works! ____________________ Rogerborg wrote: It'd certainly make it easier to ego-find my own posts on pages, given the number of fags (gay like traps) who insist on putting my name in their .sig |

I got an iPhone 3G around 2009, then a 4S in 2012, followed by a refurbed 6 plus about 2 years ago. My work phone was a 5, but has been replaced this year by an SE.
None of these have broken - have I just had faulty units? ____________________ Chances are quite high you are not in my Monkeysphere, and I don't care about you. Don't take it personally.
