I kind of look at it as the iPhone is kind of like the G19 (traditional, pre-gen4 debacle) of the smartphone world. Unless you've got some compelling reasons to do otherwise, it's a pretty safe bet. Sure if you are into certain features you can get "more" from other places, but for most folks just get it, don't fiddle with it, and use the heck outta it and you'll be way ahead.
No kidding. It's a phone, not a religion. It's even sillier than arguing about gun brands. In 2-years anything in our hands will be outdated and replaced. Best not to get attached. At least guns last a long time.Fanbois aside, all the latest generation phones are amazing and it just really comes down to preference.
