My Apple 4S phone died last week. It was barely out of Apple warranty but was still good on Verizon warranty for a replacement at $99... It looks as the internal battery had leaked and caused corrosion and ate into the power connection pins... Thus I couldn't charge no more...though the phone is fine there's no way to get the contact lists and photos out.
If I were to take Verizon 0$ replacement offer, I would have to relinquish the phone and all my stuff is will be long gone... So they offered me an upgrade to iPhone 5 for $199, let me keep the dead 4 (to be taken to China for data extraction). When asked about other option of Samsung's new G/S4, it will be available on May 23. The kind lady also told me that if I were to take home the iPhone 5 and was not happy with it within 14 days, I could bring it back and exchange for a Samsung S4.
As a person who had been using the 4S as a "phone," email device, take photos during my travels, read home newspapers, and do FB only, I can't tell much difference with 5.
Has anyone tried both Apple 5 and Samsung G/S4 and tell me which phone will be better for my above use?
thanks,
Ki
