I've been using it for 7 years. It's comfortable.

Compared to modern android flagships apple has been falling behind for the past 12-18 months (or more). It's comfortable because it's simple and easy. But that also limits you to whatever apple decides you should be able to do.

I have a nearly 8 year old flip phone (LG VX8300). There isn't a home screen.

P.S. Anyone use an older phone than me? :p

I used to jailbreak my phone before Apple started adding in functionality over the years that made it redundant for me.

For my needs, it works just fine. **Shrugs shoulders**

Some people like to tinker, I just like sticking with what's familiar and what works -- for me.

That's fine. You'd probably enjoy android more if you gave it a decent 1-2 month trial period. But I understand that you shouldnt fix what ain't broke, and if it works well for you, go right ahead.

I also have a 5s. Not even worth posting a pic since all iOS phones look the same.

I can't wait for iOS 8 unveiling tomorrow so I can laugh at whatever new icon they slightly change.

Can't post it, it's a picture of my erection. Screen sizes aren't keeping up with it.

Back button turns to sleep button on the main screen, and Home turns into app drawer button also on the main screen.

Windows Phone looks nice but I have a few apps I use for work that aren't compatible.

Christ iOS fucking sucks.

I have a cheap dumb phone from wallyworld that I stuck my SIM card in and have never had a smart phone so I have no dog in this fight, but for all of its shortcomings to me ios at least looks more polished than android. I've played with iPhones as well as various a android phones and the one thing that always bothered me about android was the lag between when your fingers touched and moved across the screen to the time the os responded. It's a small lag, but there and noticeable. Seems like a minor issue but something that would drive me nuts.

To be honest I think the best looking mobile os is Microsofts, although I've never used one so I have no idea how it would be to use.

Hehe I like how if you've seen one iPhone home screen screenshot, you've seen EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
