Al Lustie's Tips and Tricks

My iPhone is nearly dead.  The WiFi (on which I depend) won't work.  The battery is two years and ten days old and won't hold a charge, even when not being used, for more than three or four hours (or less).  So, even if I had purchased the extended warranty, my phone would not have been under warranty when it began crashing.

I purchased a new iPhone.  It should arrive today.  What was I thinking?

An LG has a better camera.  A Samsung Galaxy is more waterproof (although I don't go swimming with my phone).  Other brands and models have features that I could enjoy.  Heck!  I could even go the Cricket route if all I want is a phone.  It would be a LOT cheaper.

I was thinking all of the above.  But I purchased an iPhone 6 because it will synchronize with my iMac, my MacBook, and my iPads and iPod.  That is worth a lot to me.  A LOT.

It's worth money and aggravation because I get the actual features I use.

How do you choose the technology you purchase?  What kinds of features, pluses and minuses, do you weigh?
