Considering buying an iphone 4

As much as I love how open android is I still think I may want to get an iphone 4. So can you guys give me some reasons that would make me not make this decision.

ugh, why? This would be almost a waste of money. Consider that in the next 3-4 months a multitude of phones are dropping. For ex: iphone5, htc holiday (htc inspire hd), Samsung galaxy s 2, Lg Thrill, htc lead, Sony Xperia play, Samsung Attain....
I guess my question is, how would making the switch from Android to IOS honestly benefit you and your lifestyle? I prefer android simply because of the openness if I don't feel like sense then I got with cm7 if I feel like sense I flash a sense rom. With IOS you only get jail-broke or non jail-broke, in which some you can't even use i-tunes for apps, which i-tunes still has some apps that cydia doesn't. Not to mention almost all IOS apps are being ported to android.
Though I am just not a fan of apple; I personally don't see a reason to pay absurd amounts of money for something that is technologically behind the times, and over priced for the parts it contains. Take into consideration that everything but IOS is outsourced to other phone makers like lg and samsung.

I believe you would love the iPhone 4. I know I love mine. And I have Android and WP7. The iPhone 4 has the best battery life of all systems...purely amazing...and just works so well. It isn't as sweet as WP7, but it has all the features and is perfectly reliable. You'll love the apps for iOS as well. I'd say go for it. But keep Android also.

The Wife has one. I opt'd for the inspire because;
1. Cheaper
2. More horse power with the OC
3. More Customization.
4. Games are finally coming in droves for Android.
5. Custom Roms. After a Jailbreak what can you load on an Iphone? Nothing great. I guess you can wear your pirate eye patch, but that is lame....
6. Smaller screen. Ho Damn, I can't stand using the eyephone for internet browsing. Its to small and missing flash....
7. In the near future there will be awesome phones and the iphone 5. Why get last years model?
Ect, ect, ect, ect....

I must say that if you are in this forum (XDA Android) asking about the benefits of IOS(Apple), then clearly you are a comment whore that already knows the in and outs of this.
Just my two cents

He has an inspire and has every right to ask us how we feel about the switch.
Anyway back on topic. I wouldn't get the iPhone. You will be unhappy with it in a month. iOS has terrible memory management and is SEVERELY limited. It has great battery life because you can't do anything with it lol
There is no true multitasking on the iPhone. My battery life would be great of I closed every app immediately after using it. And I just can not stand how safari reformats everything to what it thinks looks best.
The only thing the iPhone has on android right now is its camera and screen resolution. That's it.

Worst first comment ever.
...Way to go!

Well I kinda agree. There are several threads already asking about the iPhone 4. I mean come on. You can Google it and hear it from the guys that review every phone imaginable and get their two cents. Were not here to tell you to keep your inspire,instead make your own choice. The layouts of both phones are everywhere to be found and why tell a guy the reasons not to leave when he owns a inspire already? If you love your android,keep it. You know the ins and outs of IOS and honestly its over priced rubbish that is created year after year with very little upgrades just to make them apple brainwashed idiots keep buying hoping for a change....not happening. Want my opinion? Steve jobs and his entire apple company can stick with mac books and that other crap but not cell phones. They are scam artists and copying basterds that deserve to go back in time and sit a few years in pelican bay Penn and made someone's woman. Just like Samsung,you expect more,yet get pointed into disappointed. My iPhone 4 lasted exactly 12 hours and 37 mins. Received it before ATT closed one night and had it back in the AM. If you want a iPhone,go ahead,try it out. If you need info,search youtube or Google and you already know details. Just my two cents

for one you can OC the inspire to 1.99 Ghz and with the iPhone 4 the processor is always at 800 Mhz, it's 1 Ghz underclocked to 800Mhz just like all other ios processors

While I don't agree with how this was said (No swearing in the forums please) I agree with the the point r what was said. The only one that will be able to tell you how you will feel about it will be you after you have used it. I have been suprised by phones that I thight were garbage but turned out to be decent. All the info you will need about both your phones is all over the internet. Why make a post in a Development forum that is not even about the device your thinking about getting?

Is this a good trade?

Well I was wondering what you guys think about this possible trade between me and a friend.
He offered me a jailbroken and unlocked white IPhone 3GS 32GB for my Samsung galaxy s 4g. I know the majority here are android fans but my intentions on this trade is for my wife, she needs a much simpler phone than an android. So please, any advice is greatly appreciated. I just want to make sure this is a fair trade, or if I'm getting an awesome deal, or even me getting ripped off..

According to the average Craigslist pricing here, 40 dollars. But you're losing quality here too. Android can be made into a dumb-phone so it shouldn't be too big a pain.

Lots of hate for iPhone around here. I believe they all have their strong and weak points. But logically the only reason to consider going to iPhone would be for the richness of the apps (not looking to start a war, but having used both, I simply find there to be more apps available for iPhone - now, not talking 3 or 6 months from now). But back to my point. If she wants a simple phone then she's not after apps. As far as simplicity goes, iPhone is simpler, simply because there is less choice. Its a little more closed. Really - I think the question you should be asking is Nexus vs a Blackberry instead of Nexus vs an iPhone though. I say sell your Nexus and put the money to a dumb phone with qwerty keyboard, or trade it for a BB. I'm thinking your wife wants a phone for communication primarly and this is what you mean by simple. I will stand my ground and say nothing - absolutely nothing beats a BB for txt'ing, email, and raw phone capabilities. Don't go with a Curve model or Torch - you should be able to trade someone straight across for a Bold 9780 in new condition.
Last note - you're looking at trading an 8 month old phone for one that's likely 2 years old. That alone indicates to me its not a "good deal".

Blackberries are terrible for everything aside from bbm...

I am all about android and would never use an Iphone, but I feel like that is a pretty good trade...

I wouldnt trade my galaxy s for an iphone 5.

Its a fair trade , ppl here are giving partial veiws. I myself is a Android user but I do know for a fact ios does suck at all, and specially for girls, its just the right phone.
success is directly proportional to hate, since more public is exposed to it,and human nature to look at negetives rather then positives. This applies to men , girls and I guess mobile and its platforma too ...lol

Assuming they're both in comparable condition they're around equal market value. From a hardware perspective the Galaxy smokes. From a usability perspective the iPhone wins.
For some reason, white devices tend to attract a little more attention, especially if they're for females.
I'm not an Apple fan by any means, but if I were in your position, buying for your reasons - I'd do it. Unless your wife is a geek. I'd make damn sure it was in good nick first, though.
Good luck.

I'd probably do it if it's what my wife wanted.

Not a bad idea.

This sucks for us.

Most likely different processors.

Supposed to be tegra 3 based.

Oh, hey look, another HTC i-device. What are they gonna lock down on this one, date and time changes? Widget locations on the home screen? Contact pictures?
I love my HOX, but HTC's pussification by bowing to AT&T to lock down the device is absurd, and goes against everything their CEO promised the modding/dev community. This very well may be the last time I buy from HTC.

OP how does this suck for us exactly? This is how it goes. Either way, it looks like replacement for intl hox, not ours.

If this had a quad core s4 I'd be mad. However it doesn't.. so I'm not. :thumbup:

Are people seriously expecting upcoming phones to remain the same or.. be slower? Of course they will be faster and better than what we already have. It will have been at least 1/2 a year by the time this C2 comes out. Deal with it!

To be honest according to those specs I'd still prefer this version simply because of the battery sipping s4. I think tegra3 will shine in tablets.

That's what I was thinking international... But then I remembered the T-mobile rumor.
http://m.techcrunch.com/2012/07/25/htc-one-x-rumored-to-launch-on-t-mobile-come-september/
Still were divided into Tegra and Snapdragon camps anyway. Personally I prefer the battery life on the dual core platform especially considering how close in performance it can be. At this point I'm ready for any good news for HTC as they've been taking a beating in market share from Samsung lately.

It only sucks for people who NEED to be on the bleeding edge of technology. That was me a few years back until i realized i didn't have the resources to fund my expensive habit. So i tend to stay happy with the device i have now
But it does seem like HTC isn't staying so true to their word that they were gonna slow down the amount of devices. But this year is better than last year that's for sure.

I would totally buy that, except this is my last HTC device.

I'm in the same boat. I would love to unleash my inner tech whore and plunk down money like there's no tomorrow on phones but honestly there's not a damn thing wrong with my one X. It's got great build quality, a great camera, awesome battery life and AOKP. Pretty much all I can ask for in a phone. I figure it will last me at least a year and a half which is more than I can say for pretty much every other phone I've ever owned. Only phone to last me over a year was my old nokia e71 (which I keep as a backup) and that was before I was exposed to the wonderful world of Android on my nexus one.

Same thing happens every time a new device comes out.
I don't get it. You think they should hold off bringing out a new phone until you've had enough of yours?
Is called progression...

I think ( tho could be wrong ) the op meant it sucks in terms of support.
I do understand....I bought 2 Evo 3d's paid over a grand for them 6 months later the phone is dropped for the 4G and I did well to sell one for 175 bucks, where as had I bought iphones I would have not lost so much.
So here we have the hox currently one hot phone, you bring out the "rumored" phone and now the hox turns in to ugly friend that nobody wants to date. So value drops, development drops, and support drops.
So yeah I see how it sucks.

Funny how you bring up the iPhone thing. I always think the same.. I switched to ATT the day the HOX came out. And now while I love the phone I don't want to be stuck with a phone that won't have development. With what little devs we have we are doing great, but what incentive do they have to stay when better phones are popping up? And now were stuck with this phone hardly anybody wants to buy after f____ing ATT dropped the price to a measly 100 dollars. That was a damn quick price drop.

The linked article does not mention LTE. And I think Tegra chipsets with LTE are not coming until late this year, or even 2013? Without LTE, AT&T is not going to pick up this phone.
Looks to be an upgrade for international carriers, or a flagship for T-Mobile. Either way, that wouldn't affect our development much, if at all.

[Q] Getting a One X at this point in time

So I'm considering the One X as it is free from ATT for upgrades and I don't have a lot of cash right now. Is the One X worth it anymore or should I wait until I'm in a better position and spend $100 or $200 on the "best" current model?
I would try to use it for about two years till I can get another free upgrade.
I have the Samsung Focus currently and I'm just sick of it. Too dumbed down to be a real smartphone.
Thanks all.
ETA: Not asking about other models, which phone is best, etc. Don't want to get this locked. Just want to know about the One X.

Nobody can really make that call for you, as everyone's preferences and financial position is different and unique.
Personally, I don't like spending money (in you case, not money, but you are "spending" your upgrade) on any piece of technology that is already a generation or 2 behind. At least any technology that advances as quickly as smartphones. And the One X is pretty close to 2 generations behind at this point. Since it was already superceded by the One X+, and the HTC One will be released sometime in Q2.
On the other hand, many people keep the same phone for years, and don't care about the "latest and greatest".
Of course you are asking on XDA, and the people here tend to be tech junkies and replace their phones much more frequently than the general public.

Personally, this is the best phone I've owned... Mine poops on domestic s3's, and can damn near keep up with my bro in laws OneX+... It's been great to me.. got it on launch day.. not one single issue whatsoever... No scratches or anything, and I've never used a case or screen protector.. dev community is awesome and there are great roms and mods. With the newly discovered s-off, I'd say go for it if it's free bc it would be a hell of an update for you. I'll hold onto mine even when I buy the new HTC ONE.

The HOX was a great device from launch day. Devs have come a long way in gaining Root, BL Unlock and now S-OFF. IMO, the HOX is the best phone on the market next to the HOX+. Since cash is an issue, I'd say go with the HOX till you can move on to another device. If you've lived with the Focus till now, the HOX will breathe new life into your Android addiction =)

I'd take this phone over a gs3. For being free its an excellent value.

Here's the thing: My dad has an iPhone 5, brother an S3. iPhone is done, over. Its boring and repetitive. S3 is good but its slippery and feels cheap the camera sucks the screen isn't as good as the One X and I hate the home button on that thing!. I'd go with the One X. You won't regret it!
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app

It all depends on your phone philosophy. Some people have to have the latest and greatest and are willing to pay the price. Others are fine waiting until previous "hot" phones get discounted. $200 for a phone is a lot of money for some people and that's fine. This is still a great phone, especially now that we have s-off. Just remember that the biggest cost of the phone is your contract. Over two years, you'll spend a lot more than $200.

trading my white one x for a white iphone 4s? bad idea..?

I'm thinking of trading my HTC one x for an iPhone 4s. Should I go for it or not? The only thing that's holding me back right now is that this phone is legit brand new I just got it a few days ago and bechus it's still brand new I'm kind of second guessing if I should go through with the trade
So I'm asking my fellow xda people for any opinions
But pls don't say "stick with the one x" only bechus you don't like
or hate the iphone or vice versa
I want some real honost opinions pls
Thanks in advance

Only pro I see is that the 4s will sell for a lot still

Yeah that's true I've been seeing prices higher on the iPhone's 4s side than the HTC one x non store related..but one of the main reasons I kind of wanna do the trade is that you can buy so many awsome cases/accssories for the iPhone 4s & no matter how old the phone may be its always gonna be supported as to android devices the phone stop getting its support as soon as a new device gets released and the support and price point gets lower and lower

I'd keep the One X because it has a nicer display, battery lasts longer, and you can customize it.
I'd trade because you probably wouldnt like modifying your phone anyway. You might as well get the phone that everyone else bought.

Yeah that's another reason of why if I should do the trade or not..the one x does have a bigger and better display
And as far as modding goes I used to be a mod/flash freak ever since the original Motorola droid days lol
But I've gotten bored of doing the whole modding and slowly got tired of it so I'd figure I'd go for an iPhone.
Yeah I can still jailbreak it but as far as android modding it doesn't even come close to it

In my eyes the two don't even compare. It's like apples and oranges. The XL is better in every sense.

The One X is definitely a better phone. However, my biggest disappointment with android phones in general is the lack of third party support (and sometimes even manufacturer support) when it comes to accessories. The One X lacks even a dock! So, if you are interested in things like that, I'd do the trade. Just be prepared for a slower phone

But really I would NEVER trade my one X for iPhone, downgrade for sure. If you got bored with customizing this phone you will be EXTREMELY bored with the iphone...
I set up phones all the time at my job for my clients and I got really bored with the iPhone 5 just by setting it up... the OS is outdated and over rated. I hope for Apple's sake they step it up this year...

I replaced my iPhone 4 with my HOX so I'm probably well qualified to answer this question.
It mostly comes down to iOS vs. Android and the larger screen.
I wanted a much bigger screen. Not everyone cares about this.
iOS tends to be smoother and snappier on a stock phone but is quite dated when compared to Android. If you're thinking of jailbreaking, stick with Android. There's not much you can do with a jailbroken iPhone that you can't do with a rooted Android. And iOS really starts to slow down and get unstable the more you mod it.
The iPhone 4 is heavier.
As noted, there are far more accessories for iPhones. This is probably the only thing I really miss.

Thanks for the honest opinions guys,I went ahead and did the trade. I was liking the fact that the iPhone is supported by so many 3rd party stores,so many accessories,and I like the fact that even though it is an older device since the iPhone 5 came out its still managing to get so many support

He'll be back....they always come back. iPhone's are indeed snappy and grandma friendly but once the comfortability sets in so does the boredom. Then theyre left wanting more access and more control...BAM! Jailbroken iPhone which turns into a heap of crap. And thus returning to android when they get tired of dealing with it the lag and freezing.

Well, the whole iOS vs. Android debate is pretty opinionated. It's based off the user, so I am going to give you my opinion.
First off, this is someone who went from the HTC Hero, to the iPhone 3GS, to the iPhone 5, to the Evita. I was able to jailbreak the 3GS, and it was pretty good (so as my iPads as well). Then I got the iPhone 5. At the time it was not able to be jailbroken, so it was not really special. Sure it was slim and fast as hell, but that's it. I didn't really get any custom-ability with it. Then I got the One X, and rooted it three months later (avoid warranty issues), and never looked back. Even though I could jailbreak the 3GS, I get MORE features with the One X. Not to mention, different ROMs. With the iOS, you can install tweaks from Cydia and a few themes, but at the end of the day, it is still the software that Apple wants you to have. With Android, you can go from 4.0.4 to 4.2.2, and get FULL control over your phone. As far as jailbreaking vs rooting, they are both the same thing. Giving the user access to the system files. If you enjoy your One X, then I would not trade it in. With ROMs made for the Evita, it runs fast as hell. I never messed with a 4S, but my iPhone 5 was pretty fast. Not to mention, you will lose screen size (4.7" to 3.5"). If you want something new, then go far it, but I would suggest playing with an iPhone 4S, before you make the switch.
P.S. Siri is a cool feature which is a selling point (for novice phone users), but isn't something that should be sold on alone. Google Now is a close competitor, and does things as well.
At the end of day, the choice is yours. And to to give you an answer: I don't think you should do it.

Like I said guys just chus you may hate the iPhone doesn't mean other people "HAVE" to hate it as well.and I did the trade not chus I feel like the iPhone is better or not chus I hate android but because iPhones have the most support in every aspect of the device. I really don't care about rooting and using roms or jailbreaking.i feel if you need to root a device and use a rom to make it more smoother and better to your liking why not just get something that you will like in the first place so you don't have to do that. So no hate intended on both android or iOS. I just did the switch because if you didn't notice once an android device gets released it gets support shortly after once a new device hits the market that device loses all the support and it gains to the new device as to where the iPhone it's always gonna be supported no matter what. So if your gonna hate on me just because I did the trade chus you hate on the iPhone then I apologize.like I said in the op just wanted some opinions and that was it. Thank you again to the ones who gave honest opinions
With that said I feel that this thread is no longer needed and am requesting to close this thread

I bought an iPhone just recently. I like it a lot but its missing basic features that android has. Such as mass storage or making a freaking ringtone without using a computer. I always root and run custom roms on my android phones and really enjoy them over the stock rom. Mostly roms like CyanogenMod. Of course I'm jail broke and I find it extremely hard and expensive to customize. Unless you warez the jailbroke apps. Android is extremely easy to root and backup apps or uninstall ones that come with the phone. Side loading is as simple as pressing install however Ios blocks this completely, unless you jailbreak. There are no widgets, alternate keyboards (granted you can download an app to type somewhere else on the screen then cut and paste where you want it, defeats the purpose doesn't it) , messaging replacements, launchers, or pretty much anything that you love about android. You like it Apples way or the highway.
In my opinion everything that it does is smooth and works great. Android gets second hand games, for example plants vs zombies. It's a good game on android but if you ever play it on iPhone you'll be upset. Only half the game was provided by ea games on the android version and its the same price. Most other games such as tapped out the Simpsons are released way later. But the main reason is the compatibility issues devs face. There are 5 or so iPhones but thousands of android devices with many different types of hardware making it extremely hard to code and optimize compared to iOS. Updates are pushed to the iPhone family frequently and you run the latest version with having to wait for Sammy, HTC, Sony, or other manufacturers to push out an update. Unless you want to jailbreak of course then you have to wait for devs to find an exploit to allow you to jail break.

Now you realize that this being a forum specific to the HTC One X, that the vast majority of users here own and love their One X. So suggesting to get rid of it, is not going to generate the most objective feedback. If we thought the iPhone was a better device, we wouldn't be here!

Nobody here even remotely flamed or hated on you. If they don't like iOS, that is their "honest opinion".
