To each their own. My S3 had a garage door opener fall on it just right after two days of owning it. It crack the screen around the home button and some minor spider webbing happened, but I used it for over two years now with no other problems. Still using the original battery too. I've dropped it a dozen times, face first on the ground and floor with not a scratch. One unfortunate angled drop on day 2 of owning it and that was what did it in.
I want a Nexus device. Their camera and battery life are shit, though.

I never started, my sisters friend is a general manager who was trying to get me to run a store for him but I didn't like the pay structure.
Family plans are cheap as fuck right now on T-Mobile. If you have 4 people it's $100 a month with 2.5GB of data per line. Phone cost is usually somewhere around $20 extra so around $45 per line. Cheaper if you have more people.

I used a 6 and a 6 plus today. The 6 isn't bad, which is probably the best compliment Apple will ever get ftom me.
But the 6+ feels wrong. The UI doesn't work on that size and with that size of a phone you really notice the huge fucking bezels that Apple can't seem to get rid of.
Put the G3 next to the 6+ (they have the same size screen) and it's night and day. Apple don't know how to make a phablet. I think the Note 4 is gonna piss all over it as well.

I get the feeling that a lot of people seem to think that the 6 plus is the flagship model and overlook the fact that the 6 plus is Apple's take on a 'phablet'. Just because it has a better screen and a better battery life, does not make it the flagship.
My brother's contract is due for renewal and I'm trying to find him a good deal for the LG G3.
If I get an invite for the OnePlus One, I may introduce him to that if it interests him.

Hmmm although I know that, I did not make that clear to my brother and it's definitely a good point to put across to him.
I think Motorola would be a deal-breaker for him - he's just not that keen on them. But who knows, because at first he was a bit uncertain about getting an LG. I just hope it'll be affordable like the Nexus 4 was as I'm also considering getting a new phone because of Android L. If nothing interests me too much and I can get Android L on my phone (either officially or via CyanogenMod) then I might just stick with the Nexus 4 for maybe another year.
Yeah, and for something that'll be replaced with a newer model within a year or two. But Apple does cater to the aesthetic/fashion side of the industry so a lot of their products, be it watches or computes or phones, are seen and bought to double up as art.
I really like their Macbook refresh, but it's not for me. Too much for too little.
It's a travesty the MBA doesn't have a Retina display but the Macbook does, now. And I doubt they kill off the MBA for another refresh cycle or two.

Bullshit. That's how they market it. Is Ives design work any more beautiful than a TV by B&O or a huge number of cars. Do you know the name of the guy who designed the E Class, for example. Apple have marketed their product and Ives, in that way.
The high end iphone is only for idiots. It is not an intricate time piece that has evolved over a number of years. It was not made by leading swiss engineers. Sure, a rapper might buy it (or get it for free) and rap about it. But... What makes them connoisseurs of taste? If people want a high end watch, there are plenty out there. And 17K on the resale market, will get you a very nice one. If you want art. Then 17k can also get you a nice piece. Not necessarily a futures collectors piece though.
If you want a smart watch. Get a moto 360.
I'm not saying it's all art, but I am not the other 6+ billion people in the world. The Apple Watch is no Breitling or Rolex to most of us, but to some others it might be.
I'm speaking more for Apple computers and to a lesser extent the iPhone. Very wealthy firms, I have seen, have iMacs at the reception and the partners use iMacs or Macbook Pros. Maybe "art" is the wrong word, but it blends in with the minimalistic themes of many upscale offices. Like furniture. Basically, I'm saying Macs and such can be seen as expensive decorative pieces, much like furniture. Which is weird saying it, almost silly, but it is an appliance. It's not different than those expensive fridges or stovetops. It's just weird what Apple has managed to do with it.

I've only recently paid attention to watches. I think I've even asked on here a few times about them.
