Good evening MacRumors!
Okay, where do I start? I've been on the forums for almost two years now. I used to own an 16GB iPhone 4 from AT&T. My upgrade was last week and I went home with the Note 2. Before you call me a traitor or anything, I wanted to research and see what the hype was about. AT&T offers a two week trial with equipment and can replace it for about $35 and get your money back. So I exercised my options.
Right now I'd give the note 2 an 8/10 (Im very confused on how to operate it and texting is TERRIBLE, NO AUTOCORRECT and doesnt register letters like the iPhone/iPad does but Im not here to talk about that phone/tablet. I wanted to asked some questions and wanted answers from REAL APPLE USERS AND NOT ANDROID LOVERS.
1. How would you rate the iPhone 5?
2. Do you really consider it an upgrade if you're coming from an iPhone 4?
3. Does it support FaceTime over 4G/LTE with AT&T?
4. Does the A6 chip have dual core or quad?
5. What was YOUR reason to continue with Apple's iPhones?
6. Will I feel outdated if Im stuck on a 20 month contract?
For Samsung Note 2/Android 4.1.2 - Very nice but it just seemed like the OS was unstable and unreliable. 2GB of RAM but the basic OS used about 1.1GB. Notifications center was poor! No badges or numbers on apps with notifications. Certain apps like Credit Karma weren't available. Yeah its a huge screen and beautiful widgets. Apple doesnt plan to release a big screen because they know loyal fans will buy the iPad. The only thing I would want from Apple are a few widgets. Something to make the phone come alive.
Truly I think I was made for :apple: but wanted to explore why.
