No iPhones in this house . . . 2 parents + 2 college aged kids.
One of those . . . just because everybody else has one doesn’t mean we have to run out and get one too.

Still haven’t bought one but I got the wife a 5s for Christmas and we really like it. I think I’m holding out for the 8.

Android is better but Apple did popularize the smartphone.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Don’t own one. Really.Nor do I. Never owned an Apple anything.

I do not own a Iphone and never even sent a text in my life. When my daughter comes over for a visit I tell her to turn her's off and we'll talk.

My kids bought me an iPad,which I DID NOT WANT,but they got it for me anyway.
I love it.
(They forced Amazon,Netflix,and HULU on me too,and they pay for them.) Sometimes mother does NOT know best.

Without the Iphone there would not have been innovations in smart phones.
Apple set the standard.
And I still use Samsung.
Apple is better but, I am not an Apple guy, which is funny because I knew Jobs and have known Woz for 30 years.
I still have my 486 Dx66 that Woz put a sticker on that read “It Smells Inside”.
I keep it for laughs....
Guy is one funny dork and his assistant is as well....

It’s an amazing gadget. I use it for many different things... even unusual things like decibel meter and vibration analysis... stroboscopic tachometer... police scanner... ham radio.
Mostly the camera, though. It’s good to always have a decent camera with me.
