iPhone

          Out of all of my friends, I was one of the last to enjoy the priviledge of having an iPhone. I was never one of those people to stay up-to-date with new technology releases and wait in line for hours to buy the newest products. My non-smartphone was very reliable and I never really saw the need to upgrade until about two years ago. My old phone crashed, and my mom convinced me to join the iPhone family.
          Once I did get an iPhone, I can't say that a lot has changed. I mainly use my phone for the purpose of a phone; I text my friends and make phone calls. The amount of texts I send didn't increase at all once I got a smartphone, although I do type faster on the touch screen. I also didn't make use of the built in iPod for a while, since I have a separate iPod that has more memory, and I always use the iPod to listen to music rather than go through the trouble of transferring my 1,903 songs onto my phone.
          Probably the best part about having an iPhone is the camera and all the benefits that come with it. On my old phone, I would take pictures and then have to email them so myself from the phone, and then download them from my email onto my computer, and finally upload them to twitter or facebook. It is extremely easy to take photo and post it to social media right from my iPhone, which is my favorite part of having a smartphone. I love taking pictures and videos, so I often use instagram to share pictures. I also love the apps called "whitagram" and "picstitch" because I can edit pictures and turn them into photo collages on my phone. The other apps I use are twitter and facebook, which I honestly check more on my actual computer than I do on my phone, and Vine, where I spend more time watching other people's hilarious videos than actually posting my own. I did have certain games like "ruzzle" and "4 pics 1 word" that I played for a while, but I found myself playing them all the time so I deleted them to avoid being one of those people that doesn't interact with other humans but sits alone playing on their iPhone all day.
