Although not an Apple user, my hat will always be off to the late Steve Jobs - what he brought to technology and how he did it.
I owned nokias for 14 years, I said I'd never try anything else until I got my iPhone 4, I'll never touch a Nokia again. Tried samsung but that was way to bloody complicated and after a month of constantly rebooting itself it got piffed. I am however concerned that Apple is heading in the wrong direction, iPhone 4 was made the size it is for a good reason, I can do anything I need to do on it with the thumb of the hand I'm holding it with. I'm quite happy that I can make a call or reply to an email without having to put down my vape or pull over to the side of the road (....kidding)

Ya I agree. I also love that I can do everything on my iPhone 5 holding the phone with one hand and typing with the thumb. It's one of the more appealing aspects.
I don't want a bigger phone.

With iOS 8 we now have a new keyboard that has been available on other platforms for a while and it's nothing short of amazing! It's called Swift Key. It is the most awesome app I have seen in a very long time... it allows you to drag your finger around the keyboard and the words just appear like magic. If you haven't played with Swift Key then do it now! I am in awe of the program!
Jip i've been enjoying that alot
️
Is that that 'super predictive text thing'?
Because that is awesome.

It is... I'm still in awe of how clever it is everytime I use it!
Everything has both good and bad
My view is if you play by Apple's rules, their phones and tablets play very nicely without much problems.
My iPhone 5S (first time apple phone) has been working flawlessly for about a year now. Not a single problem.
My iPad 2 has been working flawlessly for about 3 years now. Not one single problem.
Overall, its been a very good troible free experience.
That said,
- I dont like iTunes and there are a few other minor things I dont like.
- Another thing, I miss the keyboard on my blackberry bold 9900
- Oh, and in my experience, BBM was way more reliable than Apple's built in iMessage.
After using the iphone for a year, I can confidently say the Blackberry Bold was far better and more efficient for instant messaging and emails. Obviously, the iphone is much better for multimedia, but i spend way more time on my phone calling, emailing and instant messaging than taking videos or browsing.

Ya it works really well.
It corrects the rubbish predictive text from before. I used to have to correct every other word before.

I find the "older" predictive text on my iOS7 (iphone5) to be quite good though. Am much faster with it on than off. It even picks up names in my contact list and learns slang words i use frequently. That said, I am keen to try the new swift key thing on iOS 8, but will wait for one or two versions to pass before i do the upgrade
I was still faster on my bold 9900 keyboard. Trying to see if i can get back to that speed someday with a touchscreen. I doubt it though

Hi Ho you will be WAY FASTER with Swift Key... if there was ever a reason to upgrade to iOS 8 then Swift Key is it!
I have been using that on my Samsung for the past year now. Just saying
Yeah been using SwiftKey since the s3. But not to worry apple isn't too far behind...I have been using that on my Samsung for the past year now. Just saying

Yep and its been glitchy and a pain on android for all that time. Works kind of seamlessly on apple, who would of thought
( two S4s sitting in a drawer, iphone always in hand, yes Im biased but for a reason)

Having had the iPhone 3. 3gs and the 4 the change to Android was an easy one. No techno junkie wants to use an iPhone. Too many limitations

Lol... This is the thing.
My mates are always trying to sell me on droid... I nod and smile and say "oh cool, it does that."
Then my wife asks, "oh so you getting a Samsung then?"
The answer is always, "no."
Android is great and all, but you can't put a price on reliability. I'm permanently on the phone doing something or another during business hours. And the only phone I've ever had that has not let me down... IPhone!

I'm a mac os user. Been that way for a while now. I've been an ios user too. As a apple fan we tend to not see the downfalls of it. My last 3 handsets has been android. And I could not have made a smarter move. More so now with Steve jobs no longer being around. Apple has stagnated and they aren't moving forward.
But this needs to be said. Everyone has there own 'use' for the mobile device they have. What suits ur needs does not necessarily suit my needs.
For anyone who wants to get a fone and use only what it offers. IPhone might be what u looking for.
If you are a techno junkie and choose not to be limited by an OS. Android is the way to go. You can reach so much further and your choice for apps is limitless.
IOS is very small and this is why u find a lack of apps being built for it. Majority rules
