Looks

iPhones are one of the slickest phones on the market, the simple black or white case with large screen and subtle apple detailing makes for an outstanding looking phone. Everything about the iPhone is classy, the silver trim on the sides, the understated sim card slot, there is nothing out of place on this phone.

Price

The iPhone 4s costs over ?400 sim free or you can get them free on contracts. I pay ?35 a month for mine (I got it when it first came out) however now with the introduction on the iPhone 5 you can get much cheaper contracts. The iPhone contracts are quite high compared to other phone brands, but this comes about through the popularity of the items.

Features

Will quickly go through the features that I think set the iPhone apart from other phones. The app store is far better than those for android and windows. There is a vast choice of apps on the store that are unavailable on other platforms. Another great feature is the integration with iTunes. iTunes is a brilliantly simple programme to control the iPhone from, I've recently tried using Samsung and Nokia programmes which I have struggled to get to grips with! The iCloud service from apple allows you to store data "in the clouds" taking up no space on your phone, this adds to the memory available on your phone which is a superb addition from apple. Finally the last advantage of getting an iPhone is the service Apple provide, their genuis' in their stores can help with most problems and will replace faulty items quickly within 1 year of purchase.

Issues

The only 2 issues I have with the iPhone are battery life and the lock button. The battery life is quite short when cellular data on if you use Twitter or Facebook or anything that requires 3g often. The Samsung s3 and s4 battery life are much better than the iPhone which is really a shame, as it is annoying losing battery when you are out or having to charge your phone constantly. Lastly the lock button on two of my iPhones has jammed, it doesn't make the phone useless, just very annoying to use and lock the phone through on screen touch buttons. To be fair Apple fixed both the issues as it was within the years warranty, I just feel that it shouldn't happen twice in a year.

In conclusion I feel iPhones are still the best phones on the market, their app store really sets them apart from the other platforms, and although other platforms may catch them up, at the moment nothing beats Apple and the iPhone.

Summary: A must buy, sets itself apart from other phones.
