So iPhone it is then!

Have you tried any other android phones Jatz? Generally I find them much better than iPhones and much more user friendly.

Only Samsung's (and Nokia's back in the day).

Always found the iPhone to be very user friendly (too much at times - that's why I moved to Samsung initially).

Any suggestions?

For a while I just tried out the Kogan brand android phones. Such good value for its price. Currently using the google nexus phone and it's fine. The price of Apple products are so high because, well it's Apple. But strip the brand away for a moment and there are so many comparable alternatives.

Having said that, I'm currently typing this from my iPad haha (but its given to me, so that's kind of different).

I prefer Samsungs mainly because I use it as much as a music player as I do as a phone. I like not being locked into using Apple's other products (itunes etc) to put music on it, and the fact I can whack a memory card in it and increase the storage exponentially rather than paying extra per month for inbuilt phone storage. The camera is pretty shit but I'm still using an S5 I'm sure that's been improved by the S7.

I believe you can get spotify on apple products now so that solves the music issue.

The memory now comes as 32, 128 or 256 gb. 128 is what I'd go and is double the size of the samsung I currently own.

I can't believe I'm even considering it but every reason I moved to Samsung in the first place appears to have been rectified since.

i've been upgrading motorola moto g models for my last few phones, they're great, stock android is too good you pay $350 and get a good phone for 2 years, much better then paying a grand for a year and having to use itunes and all this nonsense

Yeah I have spotify on my iPhone

Perfect.

There really is only one other thing that my Samsung can do that the Apple can't and that's negated by Netflix being available now.

What phone do you have?

S5, I just like having my music linked to my iTunes. My OCD about play counts and all that.

My phone wouldn't store all my music though? Or can you choose how much of it you put on your phone?

Yeah it lets you manage what part of the library you wish to access.

Exactly!

The iPhone could only get more user friendly if it wiped its users ass for it. Fantastic phone!

Simply the best Apple product I've ever owned.
Mine died when the hard drive became irreparably corrupted. Was shattered.

Trying to work out which one that is. Is it the old school video iPod?

I think they discontinued it just after the first iPhones were released?

Mine was an iPod Classic, 120GB I think.

Loved that thing. Was crushed when I lost it.
