I always have to read quite a bit about the latest smartphone technology. I’ve also carried ever major smart phone manufactured in the last six years for routine (and not so routine) use. When I post reviews in forums or make claims in conversation to have carried all these phones I am not often believed.\u00a0 How could one person get a new phone every 4-6 months?\u00a0 Even better, I haven’t paid for a phone or paid my own mobile phone bill in over 11 years.<\/p>\n
I’ve carried a Samsung Galaxy, S2, S3, S4, a Motorola Atrix 1 and 2, both with lap docks (some of the best phones and technology ever including the worlds first fingerprint scanner).\u00a0 I’ve carried and used iPhone 3, 4s and 5s.\u00a0 I have a like new 64GB iPhone 5s in my desk right now I could ask Verizon to swap in place of my LG G2 any time.\u00a0 Not gonna happen.<\/p>\n
The truth of the matter is that iPhones have always been a few technological steps behind other smart phone devices with the display\/touch exception.\u00a0 Apple fanboys will scream this is not true.\u00a0 The will tout iOS and screen lag as evidence of the iPhone’s equality or superiority.\u00a0 Lately iOS is just becoming Android.\u00a0 Yes, the touch processing was given thread priority on an iPhone from day one.\u00a0 That translates to the iPhone’s fluid feel.\u00a0 This feel is really apparent on iPads verses Android tablets. \u00a0 Scrolling seems smoother and response time seems faster making the iPhone superior in gesture response.\u00a0 But that’s where the superiority ends.<\/p>\n
The iPhone’s pretty, brushed aluminum chassis is no match for the LG G2’s processor, battery, screen size, resolution, camera and GPS.\u00a0 The touch feel is not that far off from an iPhone any more either.\u00a0 Truth is the iPhone’s aesthetics,\u00a0 feel and iTunes keep Apple fans in the midst of their marketing realm.\u00a0 They will even copy the larger screen found on most Android devices this year, tout it as “revolutionary” and Apple fans will regurgitate this tardy, non existent superiority.\u00a0\u00a0 Question is, will this larger screen actually hurt iPhone sales since the smaller size is actually coveted by many devoted iPhone fans who called the 4.5″+ Android screens “unnecessary”?\u00a0 Amazing how such unnecessary things become as necessary as air and water once adopted on an iPhone.\u00a0 Like NFC (Near Field Communications).\u00a0 Not necessary according to Apple fans.\u00a0 We’ll see about that.<\/p>\n
In my role I typically carry the most powerful smart phone available in the US market within days of it’s release.\u00a0 When that’s an iPhone I will proudly let the world know I carry one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
