Would defeat the purpose of it being so readily available then

Yes they actually give you a lead and instructions on how to move your stuff over. Would never go apple again.

I've an iphone already so will definitely be looking to go with something different. I was thinking of the OnePlus 3 or Samsung. Any recommendations? Do you have choice of any phone or is there a limit what you can spend? S9 is just out,that's what I'd be buying if I had free rein.

Yeah s9 would be my choice too I'm due an upgrade later this year and hoping it be down in price a bit to get it

Locked in with Apple due to other gadgets but love how user friendly they are. Switched both of my folks over to iPhones last year and havent looked back - both were always moaning about their samsungs and constantly fcuking it up etc.

Genuine curiosity here but surely phones are like toothbrushes in that they can't really get any better but they will try and tell you they have anyway. Apart from being a phone and having the internet in your pocket, what more could you actually want from the f**king thing? Does the S9 have a 'blowjob of a lifetime' function or something?

There are options other than apple and samsung, I've been using Huawei P9 for the past 16 months and find it just as good as a Samsung Galaxy S7.

Yeah it's a fair point, can't see much more that the makers can do with phones now other than novelty features. The only major upgrade going forward will be battery life. Someday they will sort it out.

That is the last major thing they need to sort out imo. Get a battery that can last 3/4 days and it would be a huge improvement. Not sure the manufacturers are that pushed though.

They could start working on battery optimization, seemingly that would make a big difference on Samsung phones.
