Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

The only smartphones I've ever had have been iPhones but I really don't like them anymore. I got the 5 when it came out and it just isn't all that great, but it's little stuff that bothers me.

The keyboard clicks are really quiet, the autobrightness feature needs to be "trained" by the user over time which means it's useless when you actually need it, there are a bunch of useless apps that you can't delete unless you jailbreak it, and Siri can't understand anything I say unless I change it to British Siri and then it's a man's voice and he only understands half of what I say. And it isn't like I have any kind of accent, either; I've never lived anywhere more than 5 years and literally have no accent at all.

The worst for me though is that the headphone jack is at the bottom of the phone. I plug my phone into my amplifier and have to lay it down somewhere instead of propping it up like I used to. I could prop it on its side but I hate the sideways coverflow controls when I'm listening to music and it takes too much time for me to adjust song position and stuff when I'm trying to play along to something on my guitar. But I also find the jack placement annoying when I'm out and want to listen to music on my headphones because then the controls are all upside down if I put my phone in my pocket. Apple claims this is a good thing and that they're going to have the jack on the bottom for the next generation, too, so I'm getting any non-Apple phone when my contract is up for renewal.

and literally have no accent at all

So you don't talk? Because an accent is how you pronounce words, so unless you're mute then you have some kind of accent. It just may be one that's mixed.

Accent (noun) - a distinct emphasis given to a syllable or word in speech by stress or pitch.

If AYRT is American, chances are high they don't have an accent by definition. Most Americans don't.

Uuuuuuum... Accent in this context is obviously referring to speech connected to a specific locale. Considering this, 1. I'm fairly sure the first anon does have an accent, it's just mixed, as another anon mentioned. It's ridiculous to say you don't, because there is no such thing as, in this case, unaccented, geographically neutral English. 2. Most Americans have an American accent. Not by definition, but by growing up in America and therefore developing an American accent.

If AYRT is American, chances are high they don't have an accent by definition. Most Americans don't.

This the single most dumbest thing i have read on the internet all month.

I've never had real issues with the headphone jack on the bottom but it took getting used to. I guess I just like my 5 because I had a 3GS for so loooong. And the retina screen is easier on my eyes.

I guess you could hide the useless apps in a single folder. I did with some, but I've got so many apps now that I barely notice the stock apps anymore.

I also have nothing to compare the iPhone to (I've never used Androids, Blackberries or Windows phones) but they've always done the job for me.
