"Every Major Apple Analyst is Now Predicting a Decline in iPhone Sales" - Says Business Insider Australia. . . and posted by our resident anti-Apple mavin of negativity, Up Yours Marxists, all based on a few rumors. It is within two weeks of Apple's Financial Report for the 1st quarter of Apple's Fiscal year, the last calendar quarter of 2015, and that makes it traditional FUD season in the media. We shall see what Apple says about their performance last quarter and their guidance for this quarter on Tuesday, January 26, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. PT / 5:00 p.m. ET. In the meantime, FUD SEASON is on and Apple is fair game for all the FUD spreaders everywhere, including on FreeRepublic such as Up Yours Marxists! -- PING!

Switched from iPhone to Android after my iPhone 4 because of dropped calls. Liked everything else on the iPhone better, but call quality was far better on Note 2.

Have had the Note 2 for over three years. Dropped it and it broke, bought a used one for $100 bucks and kept on rolling. Several years ago, the texting, maps and phone quality reached a "plenty good" level. There hasn't been a major app breakthrough that makes anyone need to upgrade until a phone wears out/breaks. Screen on Note 2 is plenty big.

Also, companies used to subsidize the iPhone/Android with the contracts, and they've quit doing that. Getting hit with the up front price all at once, and not being able to hide it will kill a lot of sales, as will the fact that other companies will soon be/are making clones that provide "good enough" performance for a tenth or less of the price.
