I don't get it when people try to pigeon hole iPhone users as uniformed. When most of the time the truth is just the opposite. I had a Blackberry way back in 2003 (BB7510 Nextel) when owning a "Smartphone" was unheard of. Everyone had flip phones and I was running a business off of mine. In 2007 I bought a Nokia N95 for almost a grand. It was a good shot from Nokia at building a smart phone but I immediately went back to the Blackberry. After a few Bold and Bold II's broke on me I hopped on the iPhone bandwagon with the 4.

I flirted with a HTC One for a year and I loved the shit I could do with it but I found myself never doing it. The things I could do with Tasker and a rooted phone blew my mind. But the horrible battery life when you were doing all of this stuff didn't. In the end I decided I wanted a phone with a smooth UI, web browsing capabilities, email, and it needed to work seamlessly with my Macbook Pro and my Dell Workstation. So I sold it to Gazelle for peanuts and got a 5s.

AND I just sold my iPhone 5s 16gb more than a year after buying to Sprint for $320 and just bought a 128gb 6 plus. Gazzelle would have given me $220 CASH for it today and even more than that just 3 weeks ago. Name one Android phone that commands that resale value....

I went with the larger screen because it was finally available in the phone and OS that I wanted. The note was neither of those.

Imagine that. I'm an informed consumer that made an informed decision.
