I have an Apple 5S. I have had it probably 4 or 5 years(not really sure how long). I also bought an Ipad soon after. They were pretty good until last summer when I got "that" update and they have become energy hogs. They will not accept some programs or devices. I have lost my Bluetooth to my Ipad. I have a slip on battery backup for my phone because I use it soo much. I never make throw the day and sometimes I have to charge it up 3 times to make it. With the slip on battery I can just push a button and its start charging my phone(really would like one for my Ipad too) instead of leaving it in my truck or office which I tend to forget. Well just installed another update last night and they did it again. I have not used my phone today other than people calling me. Took it off the charger around 7am and just looked I'm at 19% and its ready to shut down on me. Well I said a few choice words and hit the button to charge my phone. Guess what! It does not recognize my battery so now I have to plug into a wall charger! Which by the way I had to rebuy because the old ones where not compatible with my phone even thou I know when I bought them they were Apple approved from Amazon.

This is it for me. If I replace these devices it will not be Apple product! Apple will have lost me for good. I provide phones for my guys and they chose Galaxy while I choose Apple. Well sounds like there will be a Galaxy in my future sooner than I wished. I really do hate changes. I have enough to deal with than learning more new stuff. Government regs keep me busy enough!

It takes me about 15 seconds to pop a spare battery into my 5-year-old BlackBerry Z10. It wasn't designed as short-lived bar jewelry and still works like new.

Blackberry has clawed its way back from the cliff. They might be poised to make something of a comeback. But they are mostly offering Android phones now that have the Blackberry keyboards on them.

I notice that some big corp is bringing back Palm phones. Not the original PalmOS devices, just another flavor of Android under the Palm brand name. Can't recall who is doing it, maybe Motorola.

Yep, BB is selling Android-based versions of their own hardware, modified to supposedly add security.

I own an Android tablet for drone flying and have played with family members' iCult phones - both seem utterly retarded compared to my Z10 for efficient daily functions. I show the BB Hub to them and they say "why can't I do that?" and that's just one of many things BB did better. But even BB can't recreate the Hub in the braindead Android environment.

For that reason, I have a new-in-box spare Z10 ready to go in case disaster befalls me.

Apple's devices aren't for everyone. A lot of people don't want to have a relationship with a phone tied to Big Apple.     : )

You should be good to go for years. LTE will be supported for years to come, even if they bring 5G phones to market soon and start upgrading towers. It's the old 3G phones that are really biting the dust. Supposedly, the major carriers will start pulling the plug on the 3g equipment on their towers in 2019. So a lot of old non-LTE phones will finally bite the dust, at least as far as national coverage. It might take a year or two for them to really eliminate that equipment.

Given how long it took for 4G to arrive it'll be the 2030s before our rural hamlet sees 5G, so my Z10s should be good for quite some time.

Good thing I have several extra batteries. ;-)
