Because a poll of 2000 users out of a possible 200,000,000 + is obviously going to give a reliable result.

I'll do a review of the DM. Mostly read by people with an IQ in single figures who will believe anything they read.


What number does IQs start at?


Who cares? It's just an expression.

Apparently with iPhones Apples tracks you even if you've got location turned off.

So are iPhone users that smart?

Not smarter with money though, the mugging encouraging show offs.

I see I've already answered this, so buy an iPhone, but make sure you've got it insured and be a street fighter. Otherwise buy a similar phone at a fraction of the price.

I can buy a decent laptop, a decent tablet and a decent DSLR for the price of the latest iPhone and all of them will piss all over it.

So, that's why I have a basic smartphone.

What I'm saying is, devices like the iPhone are the jack of all trades, but master of none.

Here's a clue. If you've got a proper camera (bridge/DSLR) with a bigger lens (which is the case when you are looking at mobile phone cameras), it usually takes better pictures, irrespective of megapixel value, because of the amount of light the lens lets in, so you go for a bridge camera or DSLR. These days you can get a pretty good bridge camera for under £100, a decent DSLR for £250, a smart phone for £50, a decent tablet for under £150 and a shit hot laptop for £500. Or you could spend £900-1000 on a new latest iPhone. Your call.

The only benefit of a swanky mobile phone is portability, but it has to be at the expense of many compromises.

My bridge camera images are about 5 megabytes in size, my DSLR can take TIFF quality (a lossless format, i.e. not compressed at all).

I phones do things adequately but not very well. you can get specialised Android phones that do things to a certain level, eg photos. Most phones are used for pretty much the same sort of thing which is why i phones and Samsung lead the market.

I tend to buy developer phones with a load of customisation and the ability to load whatever OS I choose to use but that's just my preference.

What does that have to do with my interest in tech?

Of course you're on a million a week that's why you're here :bored:

I'm not an iphone fan, got a Samsung myself, but the point jra missed was that people don't buy them for any particular ability. Like all modern phones, it has most of what you need and use in one handy package. If you want to take excellent pics, you wouldn't buy a smartphone. Everything he lists has it's place but they don't make phone calls!

You won't get a decent bridge camera for £100, at that price they only have small 1/2.3 inch sensors and don't have the clever iPhone photo processing software so they won't take better photos, the only advantage they have is the zoom.

There are bridge cameras with 1 inch sensors but they start at about £500.

To take better photos than an iPhone that is the minimum size sensor you should be looking at these days.

DSLRs have bigger sensors than that and will take better photos with genuine bokeh with the right lens.

Also I've never heard of a DSLR shooting in TIFF, they shoot in RAW and JPEG.

Apologies to jra, apparently some Nikon cameras shoot in TIFF, or used to.

This cost me £90.

It takes very good photos in good lighting conditions. At night not so good.

The problem with an iPhone is it hasn't got a camera grip, which is very handy for keeping things still.

Again, it's not so much about the sensor, it's about the lens.

Also, I don't need photo processing software, even though it came with the camera. The thing is to take the right photo in the first place, i.e. sometimes take multiple shots and delete the ones which don't come out quite right.
