Shoot, man.... at least you have an iPhone!

I still use a Samsung S3 w/ a big-ass crack running down the entire screen (courtesy of my wonderful daughter).

LOL! That comment made me think of this commercial.  I hope you don't suffer this. Happy Aloha Friday.

so how come you didn't vote in the "no, apple sucks" category?

Avoid Apple stores like the plague.   >:D

In all seriousness, though, has there been as much hype generated for the release of this (soon-to-be-obsolete) version?

Does it do anything dramatically different?

Can you tell that I don't have an iPhone?   ;D

I will wait, as I already have the 5 from last year.  Will most likely step up next year.

Just got a Android SIII on a Strait Talk plan for $45.95 per month.  Goodbye overpriced mainstream carrier contracts.

The thing about the iPhone is that it has a great resale value. I have a 4S, and am getting $190 for it (in cash) from an online reseller that I've used in the past. They even mail a box & shipping label. So upgrading to the 5S costs me just $10. I did the same two years ago from the 3GS to my current 4S, and will most likely do so in two years if the 5S holds its value.

iOS 7 sucks

I actually like it as it brings some functionality that android has.

My patient said to change the background
The lettering is light and when the background is gray, you cannot read it
Go to the App Store and search "free wallpaper"
And download
Some of the wallpapers you can move where you want to use on a larger picture or adjust the color/brightness
