Why would you want to be stranded with old technology after a year?? You decide, Android or Apple...

My phone has got 3 weeks battery life. How is it in your new technology one?

Same reason I don't change car every year.

You're comparing a €900 purchase against €30,000 purchase? MMMmmmokay.

Because I have a reason to use it that does not include phone calls.

So do you change your internet enabled fridge every year when a newer CPU gets introduced ?

I did buy the new panasonic fridge freezer a few months ago. Super quiet with pretty lights inside.

On a side note, aren't fridges amazing? Reversing the 2nd law of thermodynamics where cold flows towards the heat

I'm waiting for a replacement iPhone4s as my sons hardly ever used and in pristine condition phone has decided to stop working. We went into the Apple store in Manchester and was told that as I'd tried to do a restore which failed then it 'must be a hardware issue' by the 'Genius' and a repair would be £135. As I said, the phone has hardly ever been used as my son prefers to use skype and the like that fart about with his phone. Its there mainly from emergencies as he's at boarding school.

The apple shop was mobbed and most of the issues seemed to be with ultra reliable iPhones. Our wait time was 1.5 hours, to be told what we were told and based on the exact same info we had given to the other 'Genius'

It's my guess that the geniuses in the apple shop aren't actual geniuses. If I'm paying for a genius I want a bona fide genius, not someone with a couple of A* at GCSE. We should start a campaign to measure them and have apple done under the trade descriptions act.

To be fair they probably are geniuses compared to their users
