Grams, you are so right, each to their own, but I have to say, we Apple devotees are so humble we don't try to put down, those that dwell on the he dark side, we just enjoy the hassle free world of perfect technology. ( told you I was an Apple fan boy).smilebiggrinsmilebiggrin

In my book it comes down to what you wish to pay for... and in my case the Ethics you have...

I hate to pay for a product where I know they are dodging Paying Tax in Australia...
which is why I will never Buy an Apple Product again...
As apple is registered in Ireland and they get their sweet little Tax break and we have a ATO that is to gutless to do anything.. and the Politician are ... I think you get where this rant could go...


SO NO APPLE PRODUCT FOR ME..

The Samsung's I have been dealing with are far cheaper than Apples anyway in a $ for $ value..

Provider is your choice....

Apple is the only way to go. They are excellent. All my family are Apple fans and no problems with any of the 8 iPhones in the family. Face Time with family members is great.

I have just upgraded my iPhone 4s (which I loved) to the big screen of the iPhone 6 plus. I often can't sleep and spend many hours in the middle of the night reading on my phone, usually the GN forum :) and the small screen was not good for my eyes and the iPad gets a bit heavy to hold when lying down.
I feel a bit stupid making calls on such a big phone but I'll get over that and love everything else about it. It has an amazing camera.

 You are certainly living up to your quotes Juergen. Consider yourself smacked.
