Nope. Never had an iPhone. I'm a droid fan.

Nope, I've never had an "i" anything.

I was curious about the fascination with Apple and i-everything we have here. So I checked around and I was surprised to find out that the Android operating system enjoys a 78% share of the global market. Yet Apple gets the HUGE hoopla every time they sneeze?

"i" will not. I believe when I finally make the jump from my flip phone, it will be to a Droid-based device. What I've seen of them, they look better engineered.
The antenna debacle a version ago, and some problems with the 5, make me wonder if Apple isn't resting on its laurels a bit, confident that iFanatics will buy what it makes regardless of quality.

Not I.  My office does not support the Android platform so if we are issued a phone or data device it's either Apple (iPad or iPhone) or Blackberry. The only reason I have my iPhone is the office gave it to me. I'd rather use my Droid. |

Would never own an "i" anything. Overpriced, overhyped inferior products banking on hipster fanatics to go goo-goo over every new release.

I just got an iPhone 5 so no; the only reason I have one is because it's required for work so the boss can keep us on a short leash.

I've never been a fan of standing in line and waiting to spend my money.

I don't see why not; I'm still waiting for 1 thru 5. Might as well wait for 6 too. |

I just find it interesting how when a new "I" product comes out it's National news, yet Google is crushing iOS globally.

People standing in line to pony up big bucks for the latest iteration of the i-whatever...
Just another sign that all the money in the world is currently held by 5, nasty, Republicans, and everyone in the lost, used-to-be, American middle class is now living in cardboard boxes on the streets.
Oh! Income inequality, the horror, the horror!

Bwaahahaha First buyer in Perth drops iPhone 6 during TV interview 19 September 2014 Last updated at 11:15 BST Jack Cooksey became the first person to buy the new iPhone 6 in Perth, Australia, after queuing overnight - only to drop it as he was interviewed by Channel 9. There were cries of shock from the crowd as his new gadget landed on the ground. "All good," said Mr Cooksey before rubbing the screen; "I think it's okay," added reporter Liza Fernandez. link to video |
