Forbes: The iPhone is no longer cool

article published on 14 January, 2013

According to a new Forbes report, the worst thing possible has happened to the iPhone; it's no longer 'cool' with teens. "There was quite some negative buzz about the iPhone 5 and the lack of a real incremental innovation, except for the screen size and weight, when compared to the 4S.

because you are narrow minded
Having a favorite platform that is not based on the manufacturer/developer in any way shape or form is not narrow minded. Perhaps the paste you consume is hindering your judgement.

They never was cool to me. With their ridiculous prices, closed system, and mid level hardware. But Apple have a hell of a campaign team. I take my hat off to them on that.

My wife has a Galaxy S3 and I have a Galaxy Note 2. Bluetooth works flawlessly on both of these.
Try installing a 3rd party assistant such as Robin, click the "Answer/hangup" button on the bluetooth device, and select Robin from the list...oh wait...you can't; they blocked that. OK, so just manually open Robin, click the "R" button, and speak into your bluetooth with the handset a few feet away from you...she won't hear you.

I've been an iPhone user the past 4 years, but I switched to android at the start of this year. The jailbreak thing is played out. I want openness and a larger screen. HTC One X+ is my phone now.

There are some things I miss from iOS, but I am happy with my switch.
