Why don't you pop into the Apple shop and have them swap out your old battery with a fresh one?

You can buy a battery online for less than $10. Shouldn't take you more than 15 minutes to swap the battery.

Not really into buying new phones whenever they come out.

I agree. The 6s is too large. I suppose I'll get used to it over time.

Absolutely. I refurbed and iPhone 4 a couple years ago to use as my car's "iPod" using another mint condition one (I just needed the guts of the severely scratched up one). Just get the tools and get on Youtube, the battery is really easy to do.

Agreed with what others have stated as far as if you're an android user simply to not be a "sheep"/follower, sorry to break it to you, but you're not the only one& a follower to the second mass after iPhone users.

There's a world of difference, Apple specialises in forcing you down a path, their path and their path only, trying to work around it is infuriating. Android at least let's you retain control of your data and how you process it.

Did I say otherwise?

I simply said that if that was your main motive as to why you don't have an iPhone, you're not special.

You don't need to educate me between the pros/cons on the phones. Owned both, obviously prefer apple.

bought the new samsung galaxy s6 edge 6 months ago on the first day it came out.

just bought the iphone 6s last week.

i always switch back and forth from android to ios. I like the 6s because the size I prefer a smaller phone. I wish they had the 5 size as a mini version.

I voted newer Android, but I do have an iPhone as my work phone. I think the point was more about what you purchased with your own money. But it's worth noting, i've had iPhones as second phones for years through multiple jobs, but I continue to buy Android for my personal phone.
