only one has a physical problem - that's a 4 with a dead button - which can be operated normally by the use of a softkey - setup in settings (from memory).

people can dump on Apple as much as they like - my/our experience of the hardware is that it is very durable.

We have also had quite a few samsungs ------- phones have been great - but, required regular battery replacements (never done on on the apples) - had some samsung tablets that were duds and a google tablet that should have been throw over the bloody cliff the day it was purchased.

certainly do love the look of the samsung S8 and it's bigger sister - probably a very good phone at a guess.

Might go for a new 7 or 8 Apple - but, probably wouldn't go for the X - although it will be pretty.

will just stick with the 6Plus until it seems slow and old at a guess - it's still a great phone

I've still got an original 1st Gen iPod Shuffle purchased circa 2007 that works perfectly. That thing is INDESTRUCTIBLE!!!

No doubt Apple stuff is sexy, sleek and sturdy, but the inability to upgrade the hardware or run non-Apple software easily negates the 'cool' design features. The cross-platform interoperabilty with anything non-Apple (i.e. Windows or Android) is either non-existent or painfully infuriating! Oh, and the price of anything Apple is a f'n joke too.
