iPhone users: help me decide!

Okay so I've never been much of an Apple girl; I've never said or thought "omgggggg that's a MAC whoa that's like totally coooooool omg omg" and I've always loved PC's and Windows 10 times more. 
I'm traditional like that. 
BUT. With all this graphic design business, I do understand what all the fuss is about and I admit it; I need a Mac, not a PC. But that's a different story. 

Me wanting an iPhone isn't purely because I think it's absolutely gorgeous, WHITE, because you kind of want to pet it a little and maybe even sleep with it next to you. 
It's totally not about aesthetics, what are you talking about. 
On a more serious note though, my Blackberry (which I've loved for a little more than a year) dies on me sometimes and can't handle all my emails and all the crap I put in there. 
Another thing that worried me was HOW was I going to talk to my BBM peeps on an iPhone. But Whatsapp fixed that for me, so we're good on that level. 

Anyway, iPhone users, wontcha help a sista out and let me know why you love your iPhones so much?

I got some advice from very lovely ladies on Twitter yesterday (Cait @prettyandfun, Joon @ordyandjoon, Joanne @joannebee_, and Debbie @mrsandvillage) who all told me to go for it, no questions asked. 
Thank you girls!

Do it do it do it. You will be amazed at how you ever lived without it. Plus you'll loooooove instagram!

I also have the white one, so prettyyyy! You will wonder how you ever lived without it. :)

For cases, try Society 6. A little pricey but awesome designs and they last for years *as in, I have literally had mine for over a year!*

I've always been faithful to my BlackBerry as well, but let's be real here. That iPhone is necessary....even my BBerry thinks so. Why else would it die at the most important moments??

I just got one like a week ago, and wasn't even really that excited about it at first. I mean I knew they were cool, I just didn't realize how HANDY they are. They can basically do everything but feed you breakfast. I LOVE mine. <3

xo,
jessie

Go for it! You know what they say, 'once you go mac, you never go back.' & it's SO true! You will love it. I have quite a few friends who had BBs and changed to iPhones & they love it. Lots of apps to play with. There are the odd ones who still prefer their BBs because of the keyboard but that's something that needs time getting use to. :)
Good luck on your decision! I hope you make the 'right' one. ;P

My husband has completely converted me to Apple:-) I'm a believer now...or I drank the kool-aid:-) The iPhone is easy to use and so useful! Like a mini laptop. xoxo

i've noticed with my iPhone that it just WORKS. it always does, and i never have a problem. i notice that mostly with macs. i do love macs over pcs but pcs also have their place in the world i believe.

i have the iPhone 4 and just love it! never gives me problems. good luck in your decision!

For me I bought the IPhone 4 when it first came out on Verizon. (I'd previously had a Droid 2). As phones go its very simplistic which makes it super nice and easy to access what ever you need, email, twitter, facebook etc. the best part of it is having access to itunes.

As for iphone cases, use ebay, not the fancy shops unless ur looking for a specific design and then find it on ebay. I've gotten $60 cases for $5 brand new and perfect.

i hear they are the bomb-diggity and i'm dying to get one once i get switched over to my fiance's plan. can't wait - esp. since my LG phone is crraaaaap at the moment. so yeaaah, i say go for it - and when you pet it, think of your dear friend who wants one. hehe.

one good reason: the camera is great to take pics and to record videos. I was not an apple fan at all until I tried the iphone and my BB died.

do it! I have the white one and i love it! I was never a smart phone person. My last phone was the Chocolate!!! When I finally got it, I don't think I can downgrade from this.

Jessica said...

I'm so jealous! I've never owned an iPhone. I can't wait to upgrade in May so we can get one. I'm definitely going for the white one and the first app I plan on downloading is Instagram of course. :D

kelsey said...

well, i am a mac girl so i love mine, and i love it more than i ever thought i could. we ordered our white 4s yesterday, and i'm excited to upgrade. i'm convinced it's the greatest phone ever made.

Caty said...

Because I didn't want to spend a $100+ each month, I kept my old cell phone and just bought an iPod Touch (wi-fi is everywhere these days). I LOOOOVE it. I have never been a huge Apple fan either, but after having owned one of their products, I totally see the appeal. It is so simple and intuitive. And it's really just intelligent craftsmanship all around. The quality of their computers/phones is out-of-this-world.

Current iPhone user and former BlackBerry user. I only bought my iPhone because it was free from work. I'm not a huge apps person and I text and e-mail from my phone mostly.

I miss BBM and the moment I'm eligible for an upgrade I'm going back to a BlackBerry. I travel internationally a lot and BBM is a money saver. Additionally WhatsApp sucks and is always having trouble sending messages properly.

I also don't like the fact that the quickest my e-mail refreshes is every 15 mins. My day job is in PR so if I get an e-mail I need it when I get it not 15 mins after it's sent.

If Apple can fix those two problems with the iPhone I'd be a happy girl.
