1.) green texters scare me (do alot of online deals and it's more comforting when it's blue replying back.)
2.) imessage is the the shit (nice to see when ppl are relpying and works better for group SMS.)
3.) since it's your first smart phone and are guna need some help, the odds of friends/family circle having an iPhone are way high.
4.) Icloud is superior to any form of backup of all your data.
5.) iphone screens are MUCH cheaper to repair (I have a contact in SE part of the state of state that blows everyone else out of the H2O if anybody needs repairs done.)
6.) Find my iPhone is super convenient in case you lose/misplace your phone and is built into IOS.
Both Apple and Samsung need to stop purposely ruining thier older generation phones thru the software updates. It's super annoying, very unethical way to make your customers buy new devices. (Stay away from iphone 7 and 7 plus at all costs right now JUST because of this!)
