The iPhone upgrade announced on October 5th, 2011 was underwhelming. The top-of-the-line iPhone is technologically inferior to similarly priced Android phones (see table with specs below). Many folks hate how Apple bullies application developers, content providers, and cellphone carriers by leveraging the power we as consumers have given Apple through the size of its installed base. To top it off Apple blocks all Flash content which makes many of its customers feel as if the Chinese government is censoring their Google results. iPodMeister has promoted Apple products since 2004. Unfortunately now the time has come to take a good look at the top-of-the-line Android phones. We will cut a check for any iPhone in our exchange rate table above and you can take the money and buy the Android smartphone of your choice!
