This has probably been covered many times on this forum but since technology changes I'll ask again. I'm shopping for a smart phone, currently doing business with Verizon.

I'm very tech savvy but since I retired I find myself using my cell phone less and less, so the old flip phone has met my needs. I can see where I could infrequently use texting capabilities.

So the question is: Apple IPhone or an Android based phone??

I would NOT be using it for watching movies or music. I have several nice cameras and prefer to use them in photo uses. Just need a phone for calls, seldom texting, and maybe internet access on rare occasions.

Which phone?

this will likely be a ford vs. chevy, ginger or mary ann or tastes great/less filling thread. we have and like the apple phones and tablets. OS is very intuitive. buddy and wife had androids and but changed at the end of their 2-yr contract with Verizon to iPhones. about the only "advantage" is that you might be able to tether the android to your laptop for a "free" hotspot. you'd have to jailbreak the iPhone to do that.
