Do you use it to read and post to this forum.
I do despite the small print. "Good Eyes"

No. Have an Android- a Nexus 5x, a very powerful but elegant phone at a fraction of the price, for an iPhone. I do read these(and other) forums on the Nexus, but only if I'm in the waiting room at the Dr. or dentist.
 
I still have my ancient iPhone 4 as well as a Motorola Moto G android. I find advantages to having both, and I will be inheriting my daughters iPhone 6 when she eventually gets her free upgrade to a '7'
 

I have apps on my I Phone that sync the TV sound & phone directly to my hearing aids. Without this function I am almost totally deaf.
 
I hate phones, and until my husband passed almost two years ago, I always let him answer the phone. Now I carry an iPhone, because a friend that helped me get one was knowledgeable about that kind. I got an iPhone for one dollar when I bought my first iPad. I still hate phones, but they are a necessity now days, and I love my iPad. My iPad even rings when someone calls, and I can answer the phone that way too.
 
I prefer my android over the iphone as it is very easy to get a new sim card when visiting another country. Cheapest way to have a phone while traveling abroad.

I know it's a joke of sorts. But for me texting is almost painful. Bitty keyboard...seeing it never mind getting finger tips to hit the keys just right.
 
I listed the benefits I get from my phone here before, so won't do them all again. But with my phone I have GPS with me at all times and when I'm in a city I'm not familiar with it has helped me find my way many times. I take great photos with this phone and while we are abroad I can share photos with family and friends easily and immediately on Facebook. Or I can take pics of my bare feet on the beach and post them here to give Ralphy a thrill!

And having the internet with me at all times is nice when on a long bus or train trip.
 
I have and use my iphone 4. It's more than adequate for me, and I have no desire to replace it until it dies (or I lose it). I mainly use it to text, as a camera, and occasionally even as a phone. Most of my online stuff (such as this) is done on my laptop, it's a lot easier.
 
I've been an Apple fan since I got my iMac in 2007. Since then I've gotten iPads, an iPhone 4S, etc. I've received 2 iPhones from friends. That supply has since disappeared.
I do NOT use the iPhone or Pad to surf the web, read forums, etc. The screens and type are just too small.

The iphones I've seen have much smaller screens than my android. Easy to use the internet on it.
 
I tried a couple Android phones. They drove me nuts. Besides, I like the entire Apple ecosystem. No other company gives me the ability to intertwine my computers, tables, phone, TV box, etc.

My Samsung phone syncs with my computers and the tv. And it's easy to buy a sim card for it when visiting other countries.
 
No fancy phone for us - can't afford one. I carry a pre-paid Virgin Mobile flip phone for emergencies and travel. We mostly use the cordless phone land-line at home.
If I want computer access, I use my laptop and take photos with my digital Nikon.
 
Don`t want one don`t have one..they are curse of the 21st century IMHO:rolleyes:
