I use the Mophie battery case which works great the only draw back is it's a little balky

I think the battery has run down twice in nearly two years.

Anything 4 and later is nice because its cloud based and you know longer have orphaned phones Siri is not a big deal. If you are happy with a 4 stay there. My daughter has my old 3 and it works like a charm and probably will for years as long as she keeps her regular Mac updated She will probably get sick of it before it fails

Sold the first one for more than I bought it for. The rest I recouped 50 to 75% of the value.

iPhones are a good value. Data plans, not so much.

They change software and hardware so fast it's damn near impossible to keep up. We'll all go broke! Except for Apple. They are rendering their old devices unusable with the newer software and hardware entirely too quickly.

the iPhone 5 as an accomplishment that can't be improved upon?
