Worst phone I’ve ever had. Combine that with my stupid decision to cut a few pennies and switch to Sprint and I deserve the moron of the year award.

Crap phone, crap network, craptacular

Crap

I've been using my daughter's old iPhone 6 for several months now.
First smartphone ever for me.......pretty cool.

Wife loves her iPhone SE. All the techy chit, small form factor.
If this 6 I have ever takes a poop, I'll be looking for a SE as well. I simply don't want a big phone........this 6 is too big as it is.
I can't believe the size of some of these phones people carry around.....they're basically tablets.

I previously had the SE and really enjoyed that size. I hear they're coming out with an SE 2.

I still have an iphone 8 with ATT. It works.

Mostly for talk n text, but also connects to my truck for a much more up to date navigation system.

iPhone for those that want to be in fashion or as my wife says "Fru Fru"

Android for those that understand the industrial standard works best.

Sprint for those who will step over a dollar to save a dime.

Verizon for those who want reliability.

We would get all calls and text even when in a bread box (lead lined walls in a hospital that block cell calls and such) I know this because I had to speak with all the cell carrier companies for what I done for a living. One of the things required for what I did was to have a neurologist viewing my PC screen while I was monitoring the patient during surgery. If I could not connect to the hospitals wifi so they could view in real time then my phone was the only other option for hotspot. We had to have real time viewing at all times and these Neurologist viewing would be on the opposite side of the US. Most of the surgeries I was involved in was in CT surgical rooms and rooms that had brain scan both of which put off as much radiation as 100+ xrays in one scan. The rooms was lead lined. We could get calls and text using verizon service like we was sitting outside right next to a cell tower even while using the phone as a hotspot while tied in to the PC sending my screen view across the US. I mean think about it. A lot of peoples home PC with a hard line can't do that. So yeah, Verizon might cost a little more but when it came down to it, Verizon and my android kept thousands of patients from being paralyzed or from having to much of the brain removed.

I will take Verizon and Android over any other any day until something better comes out. Last thing I want is the one 911 call that really matters "MINE" to get dropped because I wanted to say hey look at me I got an iPhone and I saved 2 dollars on my service lmaoooo. Think

But hey as they say,

It is your funeral brother.

I’ve had sprint for years, service has always sucked but it’s gotten really bad the last few months will randomly just drop service completely and the bill went up as well. Switching to Verizon next month as getting the iPhone XS Max

iPhones are trash, they've been relatively trash for a very long time.

Overpriced hardware, walled garden environment... proprietary interfaces so you have to buy a bunch of expensive dongles too do anything with it.

Kinda like their notebooks (and desktops for that matter), they sell you with their slick design guaranteed to be designed by a bunch of hipsters hopped up on starbucks and coke and built by slave labor in what ever 3rd world country their making them out of these days.

Never understood the appeal of an iPhone.

I've had several iDevices for checking to make sure web projects work on them, and one thing is clear... the Safari browser is the lowest common denominator... kinda like IE 6 back in the day... and people refuse to use Chrome on them because the users are still swinging off Steve Jobs necrotic nut sack thinking he's still making the latest and greatest post mortem because he's Steve f***ing Jobs.

Yep, iPhones are trash.

Eh........I’m getting used to mine, but to be honest, I miss my flip phone..........I’d still use it, but it finally died after 8+ years of rugged use, an old LG. This iPhone 6 was lying around, so....

Are iPhones trash? Guess it depends on how you define trash.
They are getting gobbled up by Huawei though. Wonder if Huawei is gonna catch Samsung?

Looking at the map only a small area of southeastern Oklahoma is not covered well.I know that area well........it isn't covered by any carrier.Those goat herding hillbilly's don't even have landlines in their home.Do you live in this area I speak of?If so how may goats in your herd?

You guys know that Tim Apple can hear you, right?

Pretty much agree with the Wok. Verizon/ Galaxy for us....some major headaches at times, but fewer, it seems, than others have.

I was talking that area from about Idabel/Broken Bow up to Poteau..........service is very spotty.Yet that ride up Hwy 59 is some of the most scenic in all of Okieland.

You'll be fine.......I've had a many a conversation traveling south out of Checotah.

Just don't talk to Paul Marcarelli..........no one can hear that fool now.

Had Verizion for many years, now we use Comcast Mobil, they use Verision's network, no noticeable difference and great coverage.

Been using an iPhone for several years now, it does exactly what I need, especially since I changed to a Mac desktop and use an iPad, they synchronise contacts and calendars seamlessly and I can answer my iPhone calls from my the other devices as well.

I spent years using Windows/Linux/OS X as well as Android and iPhones, they all work fine.

As for Android, I recently changed our old land line to a cellphone. I got the least expensive phone I could find from Comcast Mobile, a Motorola running Android OS. The menus and most operations seem assbackwards, but I can get it to do what I need and it was nice to restore all my old contacts and apps from the years before I started using an iPhone.

I connect the old house number cellphone to an Xlink box that will ring our old house wireless handsets and answering machine. Pretty neat device and you can connect up to three cellphones to the box soil you can leave your cellphone on a charger and answer calls on your old wired handsets.
