If I look back at my years in gadgets and tech, I had a crazy variety of tech and gadgets.
The tech of 10 years ago was buggy, but at the same time great to tweak and try to get it to do things it wasn’t meant to.
I used to think nothing of flashing a custom firmware on my HTC HD2 or future android devices. Sometimes several times a week. All in the pursuit of the latest and greatest performance. I even jail broke my iPhone 5 to get the bespoke custom tweaks on but reverted back after it crashed more often.
Move forward to 2013. Google is releasing android 4.4 and Apple has released iOS 7. Both are mature operating systems. And both offer a superb user experience. Which is good since now I just want my phone to work. I don’t except that if I spend £500 on a phone, even if it’s free on a contract, that it is acceptable to have a buggy phone that has many faults. I don’t want to start spending hours replacing software included by the manufacturers. I just want and now expect it too work. I also expect timely updates to fix any small issues. And I expect good after sales support.
So have you found your phone habits changing ? If so, how have they changed?
Agreed it used to love flashing the latest and greatest but now as iv got older I just want it too work. Now I’more bothered about warranty and support than flashing custom roms (i.e samsung)
