No it is not an awesome phone...I have the ultimate phone (Consumer cellular) GIVEN to me by them as my older “flip phone was not 4g...I pay 13$ a month for unlimited calls and like 300 texts . I also have a leather case which clips onto my belt that has a magnetic closure that i purchased for a dollar three years ago at a yard sale. So for an out of pocket yearly cost of exactly 156.00 (plus .33 cents / phone case) I get to talk on a p4g phone and text “k” or be “right there” if I get real fancy ...and I can imagine your phone cost 100’s and you pay a minimum of 40$ a month to have yell at Siri for not understanding your words....great phone?

I’ve had many types prior to getting the iPhone, and the only reason I switched was because my wife’s iPhone 4s (at the time) worked all the time and effortlessly.

Although I’m in tech, I can’t tolerate remote controls, smart phones, and other gadgets that fail to provide the conveniences they promise in a convenient way. The iPhone is an extremely capable and convenient phone; thus, it’s awesomeness....

Yes, it’s expensive. And I still have my Samsung flip phone as backup. It’s held a charge for years.
