Is iPhone 3G REALLY worth it?

I currently have t-mobile and also do not have service where i live, which is the main reason i want to switch services. My contract ends in December, when ill be able to get any other service i want if i choose. These past few weeks, I've taken a special liking to the iPhone. Now, i was wondering peoples opinions on it that have the phone and i want to know if you guys think the 3G is REALLY worth spending basically 300 dollars on it in December, because ill have to pay for the phone, activation fee, plan, etc.(I'm a teenager so i kind of need unlimited text and a good minute plan, so id be looking at a 90 dollar plan now. Do you guys think the 3G is really worth paying 90 bucks every month along with the 200 for the phone?

The iPhone is definitely worth the money and I don't think you'll be disapointed with it one bit. I don't use mine for business, but I do have it set up to get my email, the google maps come in handy for road trips or whatever. I have been wanting one since the original iPhone came out and was finally able to get one after the release of the 3g. Really the only thing that I did not like was that you can't forward text messages, but so what. Overall it is a great phone that comes in really handy for whatever you need it for. My plan consists of 450 minutes, 5000 night and weekends, unlimited data and 1500 texts for about $90 a month and thats only a little more than I was paying for service at my last provider and with no data. I recomend, as others have on this post, to go to the apple store and play around with one to get a feel for it's features and texting to see if it's for you....if your concerned about the battery, don't be, unless your on it constantly. I have mine playing music throughout the day at work while texting every now and then, when I get home i'll browse around on the internet for a bit and maybe play a game or two for a little bit and have not had the battery die on me once....just make sure you plug it in every night so it's charged and ready to go in the morning.

Is The iPhone 5 Really Worth It?

Hopefully I do not get bombarded by hardcore Apple fans but is the iPhone 5 really worth it. I used to have the iPhone 4S, but upgraded it to a Samsung Galaxy S3 and here is what I think of the iPhone 5. With phones like the Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S3, and the Nokia Lumia 920, I find it hard for the iPhone to win but some people are just brainwashed in Apple's company. The phone is like a iPod Touch 5G but the difference is that you can talk and text but with apps like Free SMS, in theory the only difference is the talk. iMean it is the same thing every year of realease, new hardware and design and new look, but the same interface. Personally I think that the 2 Samsungs and the Nokia are better phones but because of the people who don't realise Apple's products are the same every year one will sell more but it is not about how much it sells, it is about the overall phone. They even rip us off by changing the slot smaller so we have to pay EXTRA to get a converter or get a new dock. Anyway, any thoughts on this?

That's why there is choice in the marketplace - you buy whatever suits your needs/preferences best.
If you want to waste time learning where everything is in constantly changing interfaces every year, then that's your choice.
Many people like familiarity, and don't have time or inclination to re-learn how to use a phone every few months.
it is the same thing every year of realease, new hardware and design and new look
Huh? Either it is the same, or it is new - it can't be both.

Is The Iphone 5 really worth the upgrade?

Im wondering if I should buy the IPhone 5 now or wait for the IPhone 6 (Set to come out in Sept.- Nov.)
I mean... there is alo of people who say the 5 is noth worth it...

No one here knows when the next iPhone will be released or what features it will have.
Only you can determine if you need a new phone now or if your current phone will continue to do the job until such time as another iPhone is released. And, only you can decided if the features of the iPhone 5 will meet your needs. There will always be a better, faster, more capable device released not too long after you buy what ever high tech device you buy be it computers, tablets, phones, cameras.
If you need a new phone now and the iPhone 5 meets your needs, there is no reason to think it will not continue to meet those needs even after the release of the next phone.

Is the iPhone 4 really worth the cash?

When you compare to similar phones which have flash, proper bluetooth, and memory cards? What does the iPhone have that these phones don't?

It's personal preference and up to the end user. Some aren't happy Apple doesn't include a "FEED" panel or Widgets. Apple makes their iPhone/iPad with quality in mind:
* SSD drive up to 16GB/32GB versus 2GB internal and transferring to MicroSD your movies and a few other things. Android is still on 1.5, 1.6, 2.0, and 2.1 on most phones and doesn't have App Storage limiting your choices in games, music, movies, etc.
* Flash runs up RAM and power making the iPhone useless quicker than not having it at all.
* HTML5 is still in the process of being added to some sites. Sites that do have it open QuickTime and YouTube then resume back on Safari. Whereas other sites close your Safari and open QuickTime and YouTube.
* Bluetooth quality on some phones aren't that perfect. True Apple is taking their time and avoiding BT 3.0, but they're focused on quality. There have been reports of 3.0 not working properly. It would be nice to have forward/back/etc on the headsets, but you can double tap home on the lock screen to do this too.

Iphone 5 really worth it ? or samsung galaxy s3 ?

thinking about buying iphone 5 buy im stuck inbetween that and samsung galaxy s 3 . help please !

Personal preference issue, iphone 5 is thinner and lighter, their benchmarks are very similer so they are both very fast, the gs3 has a larger screen which some like and others dont, iphone has iOS on it and GS3 has android so go by your preferences. Even if people say one or the other is "better" its more about what works better for you

Upgrading to 2G, Is it really worth it?

I have the 1st generation iphone and wanted to upgrade to the 2.0 firmware but i have been reading all the problems you guys have been dealing with after upgrading. So it it really worth. I am really thinking about getting a blackberry. I have been doing some research on blackberries and most of their models do everything and more that the iphone 3g does. Has anyone ever had a blackberry and could tell me any problems they had with using one? Thank You and good luck to you guys that are having problems.

2.0 applications are nice, I also noticed the battery draining faster,however I have been using the poker game alot and IM. just turned push off as others suggested.I guess if you just want a phone for calls, and you cant charge in your car or elsewhere you might not update the software.My phone is over a year old (day one) and the battery is losing its edge a bit?

My iphone is broken,and i came to store to change a new one today. When I come home, I found I lost my backup and may be mistake is made during before backup.The information in my previous iphone is really important for me? how can I get the backup back?

If you don't have a backup then the only possible solution is to go back to the store and see if they can get your old phone and create a backup of that. I know very often that Apple employees will wipe the returned iPhones clean before shipping them back to wherever they ship them.
When you say your old phone was "broken" does this mean it is dead and won't turn on?
Do you have a Time Machine backup of your computer, or a clone that might have this info on it?
Other than that I hate to say you may be out of luck. Time Machine and/or a cloning program performed regularily will inevitably save your a** in situations like this.
Good luck

Does the iPhone 5 really need a case?

Does the iPhone 5 really need a case? ive been reading articles that says it doesn't, opinions please...

In that case (no pun intended), you may not need one. I agree, it does look and feel better without the case. I bought a clear case so it still shows off the design, but the problem is the case itself scratches easily.
It's your call. But I would say, if you are not worried about dropping the phone (with AppleCare+, a replacement is only $49 as you may know), you do not absolutely need a case.

Read all the hype, but is Lion really worth getting unless you need to link up several devices???

Read all the hype, but is Lion really worth getting unless you need to link up several devices?? e.g. is it worthwhile for a standalone iMac??

There's a million places on the 'net where you can find opinons on that (have a look here, for example http://applehelpwriter.com/2011/08/01/os-x-lion-10-7-%E2%80%94-the-jurys-verdict / ) and at least several long running threads on this forum too dealing with various opinions.
As for me, I've reverted to Snow Leopard.

Where can i found out how much my iPhone 4 is worth when trading in for iPhone5?

One of the apple geniuses mentioned that I could find out how much my iPhone 4 is worth when trading in for iPhone5 at the apple website.
I haven't been able to find any sections in the sitre that remotely offer this information. I'm hoping another genius shows up with an answer here.

Apple does have a recycling program where they will take your old device and give you and apple store gift card, not sure how much, you can check on the apple website below:
http://www.apple.com/recycling/
i don't know where you're located, but if you want to trade in your iphone 4 at other places like att or radio shack they give a pretty good deal.

Finally got round to buying an iPhone 4, really excellent to start with. The sharing of music from my Mac Mini was excellent. ios6 update has ruined all that! The artist view miss's out most of my music and the sharing sometimes doesn't work at all!

How do I get this feature working again? I am reluctant to move to iTunes 10.7 because I don't trust Apple at the moment.

My suggestion:
1) Always using MAC AIR with the power plug in.
2)Don' let the power level of battory fall under 30% percentage.
3)If the MAC can't be recharged now, just let it be with power plugged, WAIT...

How can I buy iPhone 5 16GB worth $199 I am from Philippines?

You can't. Well...you can...but at that price...it is an locked/subsidized phone which is SIM locked and you will not be able to use it with a Phillipine carrier.

Is the apple router really worth it?

it is time to upgrade my router. I have an older linksys 802llb. Originally I had my heart set on going all apple but at almost $200 vs about $50 for a non apple version I am wondering if it makes a difference and if the apple router is worth the more $$$ and why.

Yes.

No.
Depends on your personal needs and perspectives.
Personally I love the style and ease of configuration of the Apple base stations.
However non-Apple routers are relatively easy to configure as well.
Printing and sharing hard drives certainly adds value to the 802.11n Airport Extreme, whilst AirTunes is a nice feature on the Airport Express.
In the end only you can decide.
Question, did you buy the cheapest computer you could buy, or were there other factors which influenced your purchasing decision?

Is the x86_64 really worth it?

OK, well i have herd both good and bad things on the arch linux x86_64. i just want to know is it really worth it if your computer can run it? or will other software come up todate with it, its actually pretty said though, that 64 bit os's has been out for some time now, and we still dont got wine, firefox, and simple thing like adobe fully working? should i go down to 32?

64bit firefox works fine. 32bit wine and flash both work fine on 64bit installs, the bin32 packages are in AUR. Pretty much any apps that don't have native 64bit versions have bin32 packages in AUR.
Adobe flash actually does have a 64bit build but adobe neglected to update it this past release cycle and the version thats availible has known and actively exploited security vulnerabilities. This is why its reccomended to use the bin32 version.
That said the only time youll probably ever notice a performance difference between 32bit and 64bit is with CPU intensive aplications, such as video encoding.
EDIT: Also you should search the forums before making posts. This topic gets brought up like once a day.

No idea if it is worth it to you.
It is worth it for many and not worth it for many others.
You will need to deside if it is worth it to you.
