It ended up being much of the same but with a few little features. This is pretty much what we can expect from all the manufacturers now. The iPhone 6 will undoubtedly have a slightly larger screen and be a little faster, but its a combination that works. You've wanted to move to Android for a while now Mark so this is as good a time as any. I'm pretty locked in now so it'll most likely be another iPhone come October or whenever I am due to upgrade. Photostream seems to be the feature I find most valuable of late when sharing pics between family and friends. Its a little different to Google Drive as it runs alongside my photo's in a separate folder and is more socialable with notifications and a social media style commenting system. I also use Facetime loads and iMessage is great because it backs up on iCloud. These are features I could probably find workarounds with on Android again, but I can't be bothered lol .:)
Yes I'm thinking seriously about the S5 as tbh I'm quite pleased with what they came up with. I was impressed with the S4 and considered buying it but decided to wait for the S5 and hoped it wouldn't be massively different, and it isn't.
I would miss the likes of iCloud photo sharing, facetime, iMessage etc it's just a question of if they are big enough a miss to stop me from changing.
No thanks, I've dropped the 5S, because the upgrade wasn't big enough to justify the purchase, but I will definitely wait and buy the new iPhone 6 ! :D
ps: Mark traitor, you will regret it, mark my words :p:
I've been using an iPhone 5c for about a week now. It's a phone, makes calls and runs quicker than my old iPhone 4S did. I paid nothing for the phone and reduced my contract price by half so all in all I'm quite happy. I live in a 4G area and did a speed test that showed my phone has a better download than my fibre broadband but the upload was pants. A phone is just a phone to me and my new iPhone is still also better than my BlackBerry but that wasn't going to be hard.
Yes yes do it! You know you want to so don't be afraid just use the force Mark. http://www.motorsportforums.com/down...1378723625.jpgQuote:

I saw a 5C properly for the first time last week and I have to say I was very impressed with it as a phone. Considering many seem to think its a 'budget' iPhone, I think the build quality and the internals of the 5 make it anything but Budget IMO. Its a really nice phone.Quote:

I just hope the iPhone 6 isn't much bigger but unfortunately this seems to be the way things are going so it'll probably have a 5 inch screen. I hope the rumours of two screen sizes are correct as I'll get the smaller version in a heartbeat.
I agree with you henners, big size smartphones are not for me neither. Hopefully Apple will make both the 4.7 and the 5.3 sizes so I can chose the smaller one ;)
I am still more than happy with my iPhone 4S, my contract runs until May so will see what is new then, not in any rush to upgrade so will see what offer Vodafone can give me. To be totally honest, I will probably go for a sim only deal with a rolling monthly contract, it's something that's been bugging me for almost the last two years :s
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm on and it serves me well, although there are better deals out there if you are willing to sign in for a years contract SIM only.
