The number of issues with the Smartphone during those years can be counted on two hands. If I compare that with my Smartphone experience in the decade before that, where we were forced to work with Windows Mobile/CE this is heaven! My father has a Samsung s3 and s4 (Android), while he is happy with it, those things have had more issues then my iPhone, I would say that half were user generated (give the average user the ability to have complete access to his OS, changes are that it will go wrong sooner rather then later). The need to 'tweak' my phone has left me after a decade of IT support, the iPhone is pretty fool proof (but they keep making better fools!) and doesn't require much IT support.$60 sounds a bit expensive, last year I renewed my contract for 2 years for €30/month (ex VAT) => unlimited calls, unlimited SMS, 5GB/month and got a free Samsung s4 (made my dad happy with it).</blockquote>
