...I don't get why some people take Apple as their own creation that hurts their pride when someone says something about it. Actually...that goes with a lot of things these days, people find a favorite something, suddenly everything about it is perfect, etc. Like the people who feel "good riddance! to you because you're dropping the great iphone!" So what? They're a big person, they can make decisions alllll by themselves. Leave those kind of gay comments out. Good for you that you devote your life to supporting something you have no part in whatsoever and never will.
Yes, I like Apple. They make good stuff. But I'm not going to ignore the fact that the iphone is becoming slowly outdated, with its terrible camera, lack of multitasking, quite brick-like design, etc. It was an amazing piece of technology. But it needs some good updates as does everything, because new technologies are truly exceeding it now. If it weren't for the App store, how many people would honestly still be using an iphone? I feel the App Store carries 70% of the phone's success.
And more than likely, Apple knows they have to update it, and multitasking may be in the near future. You have to remember, Apple is like everyone else. They initially release a base product. Then they milk it, and your wallet, by making slight additions periodically.
As for a suggestion to the OP, look into quite a few of the new android devices, some are pretty impressive. Just don't get a windows phone...just...don't. lol. Terrible experiences. Another interesting phone is that new Samsung with the 8.0 camera. It looked nice...have to test it out though.
