However...in other regards, for me at least, Face ID was worse so I needed up using the passcode more often than with Touch ID, so it was annoying and less functional than Touch ID. No new T-ID phones will be made so by the time you upgrade, F-ID will be better via new hardware and better software. |

Thinking about it, I could just get an iPhone 8. Same form factor as the 7, but has wireless charging. That would keep me going a bit longer.
Regarding Touch ID, I think Apple are still trying to get it to work through the screen, so may still return at some point. |

I don't know the old prices but it looks like it - £449 and up for the 7 and £599 and up for the 8. I think they were more before?

Agreed. I believe it is quicker as well, but I’m not struggling with speed.
It’s just that the 8 would stay current for longer than the 7, and may keep going until Touch ID returns. It’s the size of new phones that’s upsetting me the most though. |

Blimey, its like walking in to a Flat Earth Society meeting.
I can't believe people are still buying in to Apples marketing and spending that much money. Android; Huawei or Pixel. https://media.giphy.com/media/xT9DPh...ONiM/giphy.gif |

Expensive phone granted but you could apply that philosophy to many products for example BMW vs Ford, Kia, etc etc etc. When texting and I receive a green text back, I often think what a shame, you can't afford an iPhone. Snobbery costs? |

Now I have 'seen the light' and moved to Android, when I receive a text from an iPhone user, I often think 'what a shame, you're gullible'. Yep agreed, you could apply the same philosophy to cars. But as most people see a car as a functional item and just want it to do its job of conveying them from A to B, I apply the same principle to phones. What exactly does an iPhone excel in over the two Android phones I mentioned? |

I think the novelty of any new smart phone lasts for exactly 2 nano seconds. After that, its just another device to get stuff done. Couple of chaps at work always get the newest iPhone and do the usual Steve Jobs sales pitch. Apart from them being the dullest fuckers on the planet, the extra £200, 300 or 400 they paid for their iPhone (which they seem to think gives them bragging rights) means the square root of fuck all after a day or two. You can use the car analogy but we here are generally car enthusiasts to a certain degree so its maybe the wrong audience. Are people considered 'phone enthusiasts'? I doubt many people will say 'Hmm, I think I'll take my Nokia 3366 out for a few phone calls at the weekend'. |

These things stopped being phones a long time ago, they are portable/personal computing devices and "phone" is generally a little-used function. For those who value "phone" above other functionality, there is a class of device available or they will choose the cheapest/simplest device available. Some people prefer Linux, others Windows or OSX - do you understand that analogy? : |

I dare say there are some people who always get the latest iPhone as they can afford to (the monthlies, that is) and like to brag about it.
Those are the real twats of course! |
