The hatred that comes out on just about any APPL thread is amazing to watch.
I got the 3Gs when it came out since it was the first with enough storage (32 gigs) to hold my music so I could combine the ipod and phone in one device. Still have it and use it and have not upgraded yet. A better camera would be nice and now that they have a phone with 128 gigs this version is tempting but I am fine for the most part with my now primitive 5 year old 3Gs. Not sure what my next phone/device will be but with each new thing the older stuff just gets cheaper and cheaper so lots of reasons to smile.
OK "Lucy, splain this one to Me?"
I'm just curious, is this an App I need;)
Yes, you do need it if you happen to run around cemeteries and various ruins, looking for aberrant electromagnetic frequencies.

Just search for “EMF” or “Tesla” in the iTunes store.
I have some that are pay-for but the free versions work quite well.

:D
I heard the new Samsung or LG phones are better now. Is that true?
Beats me.
They don’t support the apps I love and I’m an app junkie.
They *look* wonderful for web browsing but when people are holding them up to thir ears to talk, I crack up.
I hear they could be outperforming the Iphone 6 at this point.
My wife wanted the new 6, but she is going to wait until the end of the month to investigate all three first. Tech friends looking lately into these phones are blown away by Samsung and LG.
The cloud's pretty safe. Unless you are a Hollywood airhead.
Leo Leporte said both the new Samsung and LG phones were better than the Iphones and that he owns them all for his job to compare them.
I hate cell phones so I’m probably not your best bet for tech opinions.
I only have one so I can surf when I’m bored and not at home and so Himself can relentlessly annoy me with trivial questions when I’ve fled the house, seeking solitude.

There were a lot smaller ones than in that photoshop................

I don’t have a cell phone. My land line still works just fine....................
“I have noticed that the size of ones phone is inversely related to a persons IQ.”
Hilarious and a very astute observation.
Apple didn’t sell Apple. VisiCalc sold Apple.

Oops, just showed my age.
That's one viewpoint. The apps, thousands of which became available for the Apple II. That wasn't the primary reason for most people. I bought one of the first ones, an early 1977 revision 0 (called that later because it was the original before modified motherboards were released), because it was an elegant combination of components as a whole package, easy to use, and well thought out. That's what Apple is known for. I still have it and use it, after upgrading it with USB and CompactFlash cards that hold many thousands of programs now freely downloadable off the Internet. I did get Visicalc later after buying it, but only after disc drives became available. The Altair and Imsai machines appealed to me but were clunky, and a chore loading binary programs via toggle switches. The TRS-80 and Pet variety of machines were cheap plastic and not well thought out. Then again, Apple had color graphics going for it, which were not available on most of the others (until much later, the Amiga being one of the best). All these other machines faded away into obscurity, which was my point about the competition to Apple.

The spreadsheet was the driving force. Apple had VisiCalc for about a year before the others started getting it.
Then along came Lotus 1-2-3 and boom! No one in our office touched an apple after that.
