Many of my friends, colleagues and customers have iPhones.
So I don’t.
They look at my new LG G6 which I will wind up paying around $270 for to purchase over 2 years, and my case which I paid less than $10 for, they say pretty cool !!
My story: When the first iPhone came out, I compared it to the new HTC Evo of the era, and the HTC was a much nicer display.
I got it, and later two more HTC’s. But the final HTC lasted less than 2 years before starting to fall apart.
So I switched to very well rated LG. You know, the other Korean tech giant that stays out of the news?
Really? The first iPhones were released in 2007. The first HTC Evo came out three years later in 2010. Your claim of comparing an HTC Evo to the first iPhone and the HTC EVO had a "much nicer display" is completely BOGUS.
The iPhone on release had a larger display at 3.5" diagonal with more colors (262,144) than ANY OTHER SMARTPHONE ON THE MARKET! Plus it was the only multitouch screen on the market. In 2007, HTC was still primarily making cell phones for other brands, including Dell, Fujitsu Siemens, HP/Compaq, i-mate, Krome, O2, Palm, Sharp Corporation, and UTStarcom. HTC also manufactures ultra-mobile PCs, and is also the manufacturer of the Nexus One and Nexus 9,, but not under their own name brand until much later. In October 2008, HTC released the HTC Dream smartphone under their own name in the USA running a Windows Phone 6 OS and then switched it to a an Android OS. HTC is credited with making the first Android cell phone. . . but it was years after the iPhone was on the market.
