iPhone - the most popular gadget, which is used by people of all ages. But prices have increased, and many now when choosing a phone have to pay attention to the devices of other manufacturers on other platforms. Perhaps you are one of those who do not buy the iPhone? We do this, as in the legendary song, there are five reasons.
1. High price
Now the official prices on the iPhone 6 in Russia starting from 49 thousand rubles. When converted to dollars is 987 arbitrary units. In the US, the price starts at $ 650, in other countries it is higher, but significantly less than the Russian. It turns out that you pay too much.
Plus, if your smartphone is worth 50 thousand rubles, this does not mean that it is twice as good as the model for 25 thousand from another manufacturer. If desired, you can find the unit with a slightly worse or comparable characteristics, but on a different platform.
2. You do not need exclusive iOS-app
App Store - is the best mobile application store. Developers have created many exclusive programs and games for mobile "apple" of the platform. But whether you need them?
Most users will need about the same set of programs: a good browser, email client, instant messengers, social networks customers, navigation, lists, photo editors. The overwhelming majority of iOS-app has versions for Android and Windows Phone. So why buy iPhone, if you are able to solve their everyday tasks easier, and on smartphones?
3. You want to stand out from the crowd
iPhone has long ceased to be an element of style and individuality. Seriously, when you go in public transport, iPhone is already in the hands of every second passenger. Yes, you can buy a case, do engraving or even order a wooden bumper, but what if you can do it with any other phone?
Now, when people see that you have iPhone, they say, not "Wow, what a cool" and "O our people." "Apple" smart phone has long become a mass phenomenon, so if you want to stand out from the crowd, there are many ways to do this without resorting to buying a phone with the apple on the rear panel.
4. You do not have a Mac, and other "apple" devices
By itself, the ecosystem of Apple - a good thing. Devices communicate, allow on the fly to work with the same files, answer calls and SMS from your computer. However, before you buy the iPhone, think about whether you want to become a full participant in the "apple" of the ecosystem?
A lot of chips, such as iCloud, bookmarks Safari, cloud storage iCloud Drive, Handoff, Continuity, based primarily on the joint work of iOS and OS X. If you have no other Apple devices, you will receive less most of the user experience on the iPhone. Why do you?
5. You do not like iOS. For different reasons
If you are a geek at heart who loves tinkering in the guts of a smartphone, "flashing kernel", and put the shell launchers, the iOS is clearly not for you. No jailbreak tweaks can not be compared with the possibilities of customization of Android. One more thing - you use Google services actively. Here the choice of mobile OS, too obvious.
In addition, not everyone likes the design and interface of iOS. So many enthusiastic about the Material Design Android or tiles in the Metro on Windows Phone. Some even would not have traded your BlackBerry with a QWERTY-keyboard. You may have its own reasons to dislike iOS, and all of them can be a good reason to abandon the iPhone purchases.
