I have a iPhone 4S from 2011 that still works perfectly fine, and it may be smaller than the newer iPhone, but it still works great! The new iPhone is practically a tablet since it is so large compared to the older iPhones.

To be fair to Apple, their phones do actually last and they support them for quite a long time too. |

They should for the high prices they sell them for. |

Got it after the 5s came out for .99 plus the $30 to turn it on.
(2 year contract of course) Verizon won't do deals like that now. So my plan is that if this phone takes a dump..il get a used 5. Was told... (don't know if it's true) that the 4 was the best phone Apple made...as far as phone use. After that the only thing that improved on later models was the camera, and some stuff I don't use anyway. Have a friend that switched from a 5 to a 7 and now I have trouble hearing her. If she turned get to far from her mouth it sound like Charile Browns Mom. (Same carrier) |

I still have a 4S, but I no longer use it. I have a 6S that's my "daily driver" now.
FYI, while the iPhone X is the newest, latest, greatest.... it's also the most fragile and easily damaged iPhone to date! See the link below. CLICK HERE TO GO TO RevvinKevin's LINK |

5S user here, still on the original battery and original display, but I do use a case which has saved my bacon a couple of times. One of the things touted about this form factor when it came out was that even though it had more screen real estate than its predecessors, the thumb of an average sized hand could still reach anywhere on the display which makes it particularly handy. (pardon the pun)
I'm not sure how much stock I put into these drop tests. I've seen some phones you figured were done for come out unscathed when they hit cement, and others of the same model land on softer surfaces and have a nice crack down the center. I think a 6' unprotected drop is a bit much. Where I work, we occasionally spec out display tests and the device remains fixed so the approach angle (from a steel ball) can be controlled. To me, that makes all the difference. |

I have a cheap Samsung cellular radio-telephone(yes, I'm going to be technical). It is so cheap it doesn't even have any manufacturer sub-branding (ie Galaxy) it only mentions that the carrier that sold it is "Verizon-Wireless." I still insist it is better than any iPhone because you can natively download any file type you want. This means you don't have to buy from iTunes or use the iTunes client to get files other than images onto the internal storage.
Sean, it you want to know why mobile phones are called cellular, here is a Bell System video about the earliest analogue mobile telephone system AMPS, Advanced Mobile Phone Service. This same concept is carried over to digital w/ 2G service and all the way over into today's 4G-LTE service. This works with data and SMS messaging too. |
