iPhone 5 Rant.
just a note here before you judge me:
1- I have owned Windows phones, Android Phones, and iPhones previously.
2- I am not a die hard fan boy of any device, i think both have their pros and cons as i explain in this video.
3- I am not trying to start a device android vs iphone / google vs apple war. this is my opinion, i am hoping i can get some constructive comments.
4- i DID preorder the iPhone 5, that doesnt mean i am going to keep it. the Samsung Galaxy S III looks pretty tempting also.
5- i am NOT an expert on any of this i am simply a consumer wanting to discuss this.
bottom line is this, $450 is too damn much for me to be paying for a new phone. it pisses me off the contracts last 2 years, yet a new phone comes out 15 months into a contract. if you leave the contract early, you pay for it. I know this isnt apples fault, but more of a problem with the whole cellphone game in general. apple drives the demand for the latest and greatest, kudos to them, but i want to make sure i get a product that isnt shit either. i iPhone 4S is not a phone that lasts even 2 years since i have had to hard reset the phone 3 times. also with apple and google not being friendly, me being a youtuber, it sucks having an iphone, i cant reply back to peoples comments. i need that ability, i had it on my windows phone like 4 phones ago.
