Following Apple's announcement of new iOS, I think this is the most suitable time to publish this post; a post explaining why you should not buy an iPhone 5!
Although I am a fan (was?) of Apple devices, I own an iPhone 5 for two months and I have already regretted the purchase I made. Because there is no hope with Apple's support, even if you have spent a fortune for buying this "device", I prefer sharing my experience rather than contacting Apple.
Below I sum up the main reasons why you should not buy an iPhone 5:Although I am a fan (was?) of Apple devices, I own an iPhone 5 for two months and I have already regretted the purchase I made. Because there is no hope with Apple's support, even if you have spent a fortune for buying this "device", I prefer sharing my experience rather than contacting Apple.
- Scratches
iPhone 5 is more fragile than a bohemian vase. I had iPhone 4 for 2 years, it had some "deep" dives to the ground but no scratches. On the other hand, iPhone 5 looks like somebody hit it with a hammer...
- "No service"
Another innovation by Apple. While we are in 2013, we have bought smartphones (iPhone I mean) that can do everything, but, they cannot place or receive a call. While I am not doing anything, even with my 3G connectivity OFF, iPhone drops the connection with the carrier. So simple. And I am asking: if I bring this to Apple's support attention, will they respond? And why will they? Many other people with the same issue, they haven't received any help.
- Wifi
It's the longest issue of iPhone, I think, since its birth? Either disconnects, or does not connect at all, wifi could be considered as a missing functionality since you cannot rely on it. Maybe Apple's marketing has done a great job in order to get promoted by carriers and promote the use of 3G instead of wifi.
- Regional Settings
So if you decide to buy an iPhone 5 after this post, and numerous others, good luck! :D
