Looks like Apple wants to get the old iPhone models out of circulation, and bring forward a new wave of models.

You can side load Android based apps easily. All you have to do is find the converted files, which are free.

There are websites dedicated to the free files, none of which are torrents.

i agree. most phones are too small, and tablets are too big.

phones should be bigger again than the note 2..like the note XL or similar.

iphones suck.

i was an avid apple hater (they are profiteers of the free developer community and hardware handshakes), and an android lover (cos they represent the exact opposite of apple), BUT,

i was so impressed with windows 8 phone OS that i got one..and its better than apple and android..without doubt.

I've read about the side load deal I haven't tried I yet. One other thing I find convenient is that it has a micro hdmi port so I can plug the phone directly to a TV and watch YouTube or browse getbig on the tv

I have no idea what any of that means. I guess that's why I get duped into having an iphone
