Forbes: The iPhone is no longer cool

news article released on: 14 January, 2013

According to a new Forbes report, the worst thing possible has happened to the iPhone; it's no longer 'cool' with teens. "There was quite some negative buzz about the iPhone 5 and the lack of a real incremental innovation, except for the screen size and weight, when compared to the 4S.

My wife has a Galaxy S3 and I have a Galaxy Note 2. Bluetooth works flawlessly on both of these.
Try installing a 3rd party assistant such as Robin, click the "Answer/hangup" button on the bluetooth device, and select Robin from the list...oh wait...you can't; they blocked that. OK, so just manually open Robin, click the "R" button, and speak into your bluetooth with the handset a few feet away from you...she won't hear you.

I've been an iPhone user the past 4 years, but I switched to android at the start of this year. The jailbreak thing is played out. I want openness and a larger screen. HTC One X+ is my phone now.

There are some things I miss from iOS, but I am happy with my switch.
