poz Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I own a 17" Macbook Pro, iPad 3 and a iPhone 4. The iPhone 4 is definitely ready for an upgrade, so naturally you'd think I'd be looking at the iPhone5, and I have, and I'm really dissapointed. It gets worse, I'm now looking at the Samsung Note 2 From all the reviews, it looks so much better. The big screen seems so much more useable, especially with my rapidly failing eyesight. Mind you, I might need to buy a manbag to put it in Please someone give me a good argument why it's not better than the iphone 5.

Steve Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 You'd maybe miss the ecosystem integration (I would which is why I never consider anything else). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asquaddie Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Obviously you will miss the advantage of having the PMC Forum mobile app on your iPhone Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notch Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I did the same a while back. The only thing I missed was itunes integration. But I found there's an app for that, and it sync's over wifi! The biggest improvement - A BACK BUTTON... yes! no more home then another app then the other app... then what was I doing again??? yes getting old. Once you switch you won't regret it... The note 2 is fantastic... the android hardware out there is so much better than apples stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartasutherland Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Twice I have tried android stuff. A phone a while back and a Nexus 7. Both were great to start but then started to slow down like an old laptop running windows would. The Nexus 7 was the last straw. Got an ipad mini instead - shed loads faster. Personal preference I guess. Although I fancy a new macbook Pro, but there are getting silly expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_b Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I just stayed with the 4s as the 5 was not that different. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Bigger screen, and faster, and better camera. Main reason for iPhone 5 v 4s I recon is the speed of the thing!! SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
