 Beware of Apple updates it could brick your phone!
Apples newest update could turn your phone into a brick if you have repaired it or had it repaired anywhere besides Apple. There is already a class action lawsuit in the works.

 Re: Beware of Apple updates it could brick your phone!
My new 6s has done two updates in the month I've owned it and after update, it locks me completely out of my phone. I've had to restore it both times. It's been a pain in the ass.

 Re: Beware of Apple updates it could brick your phone!
The last time this was brought up, I said the same thing. I really would like to go and try android, galaxy active phones. I've been having iPhone since the beginning and im kinda nervous about making the switch.

 Re: Beware of Apple updates it could brick your phone!
I had a Droid Rzr right when they first came out and loved it. I lost it gator hunting and bought a iPhone 4 for $20 and used it for 4 years without a glitch. Then got this one and it's been messing up left and right.

If you are smarter enough to own a MM, then you should be smart enough not to have an Iphone.

 Re: Beware of Apple updates it could brick your phone!
I don't see the comparison between android and apple. It's a no brainer for me. I can do everything an iPhone can for free... the open source platform of android is way better. There's a free app for every thing. Hell if you want to you can make your own apps. Having an android is essentially like having a pc. I phones have so many limitations. The only thing I like better about iphones. Is integrated video chat. Aka face time. On Droid we gotta use skype.
It's simple. get a mud motor. shoot ducks in the face.

 Re: Beware of Apple updates it could brick your phone!
If this happened to any of you all, they came out with a update that solves issue. Got my wife's going again. Just have to download it from iTunes... Guess the lawsuit scared em a little... Doubtful.

 Re: Beware of Apple updates it could brick your phone!
On android you can use hangouts. Just as good as facetime. And as far as best phone, it depends on the features you want. Some have better cameras, some better performance, some better flashes, etc and on and on. But the Samsung and HTC are pretty decent overall.

 Re: Beware of Apple updates it could brick your phone!
My main concern is how well it picks up the signal. Around where I live I have very little service. I just want a dependable phone that won't crash and will play my music.
