iPhone question.

No hate, but why would you want a phone that:
- Is so poor quality that it breaks the first time it hits the floor.
- Cannot be used for phone calls if you hold it in your hand the "wrong way"
- Costs way too much considering how bad it is compared to some other phones

So yah, why not buy an android?

Market share, sale volume, stock prices, customer satisfaction indicate otherwise. :S

I don't know why but it seems that iOS market share just overtook Android early last week. People should be holding out for iPhone5 at this point, lol.

-A lot of phones do that. Some of my friends drop their non-iphones and go through 5 phones a year. I've dropped mine on concrete many times and its never broke.
-The right way is the natural way...
-I assume you can elaborate on "how bad" it is.

- There's some Nokias you could smash on wall or drop into sea without them breaking up. You clearly should youtube some drop tests and you could see the difference.
- A PHONE should work for calling no matter how you hold it.

Price is the biggest problem in iPhone4. That's why I see it more as an "trendy partyphone", because clearly, 10% of the price is paid for the shiny apple at the back of the phone.

- not poor quality, the screen is made of glass, not polyurethane. most of my pomegranate drops when i break it, you can't really criticize something that is well within the norm, but rather praise something that goes outside of it.
- was a problem with iphone 4's when they were first released, slipped through development, was fixed in all subsequent iphone 4's, no longer an issue.
- the price is pretty comparable to top of the line android phones, and saying it's "bad" is completely subjective, and objectively it'd be more accurate to say it's not bad, considering the customer satisfaction rate of iphones. and if you don't like it, jailbreak it. you could argue that you shouldn't have to, and i would say that nothing is a one-size-fits-all and so even if something vanilla fits your needs, there's no way that's the case with the rest of the consumer market.

-I'm just talking from experience. Other phones break for people around me more often than iphones and when the other phones break they replace them with a different phone. To me that's a huge pain in the ass. A LOT of the physical iphone quirks (unresponsive spots on the touch screen, speaker stuff, headphone jack screwed up, depressed lock button, etc all of which occur with the data and stuff intact so you can still use it) will be taken care of by apple on the spot.

-How are you holding it? Just use your fingers? You can buy cases that make it a lot easier to hold.

To us, it’s pretty obvious the iPhone 4 has met its match. However, at two-thirds of the way into its life cycle it isn’t exactly the most ‘fair’ comparison. The iPhone 5 is likely to have dual-core, and feature improvements in nearly every notable department. The iPhone is an excellent device, and was designed with the pursuit of perfection in mind. Really though, the Samsung Galaxy S II beats it in nearly every departments that count. The Galaxy S II is lighter, thinner, significantly more powerful, and light years ahead of the iPhone 4 on taking pictures and video, and has the most technologically sophisticated 4.3 inch screen on the market. Delicious.

:/

Ultimately it's a matter of opinion even as far as "quality" is concerned.
Honestly, I'll agree that many people own an iPhone simply to own an iPhone. And I understand that there are other phones out there that may have faster processors, better screens, smoother interfaces (though like I said this is all a matter of opinion) but I'm plenty happy with what the iPhone has to offer, and if I'm not then there's no reason for me to get it. Right now I have a Nokia which is fine but it's not a smartphone, so I use my iTouch a lot and I'm very comfortable with it and find a lot of what it has to offer really useful. So if I can get a phone that does everything my iTouch and cellphone do and then some then that's a pretty good deal for me.
