Quick! Whip out your phone and take a really cool video! Religion teacher David Huber did exactly that, but not with just any phone. No, he purchased his beloved iPhone 6 so he was able to create a slow motion video.

“It was cool, my two oldest daughters were swinging and they were about to jump off,” Huber said. “I got them just as they were jumping and of course when they land it’s like ‘ccrrrr’ because even the sound is slowed down.” According to him, it’s only one of the phone’s many handy features.

Like Huber, music teacher Marc Bolden has a fondness for Apple products. As a music teacher, Bolden found that he likes the apps iMusic and Garageband, which are automatically downloaded on the phone. As a husband, he likes the synchronizing feature because he is able to check his wife’s calendar to see if she is busy and vice versa.

Contrary to Bolden’s thoughts of Apple today, he used to dislike Apple products. It was unfamiliar to him. However, in college he “was forced to use it for some of [his] classes and ended up really liking it. [He] found really great practical reasons to use it for [his personal] and professional life,” he said.

Bolden currently owns the iPhone 5, an upgrade from the iPhone 4 he was wary about due to the increase in size. However, “I got used to it,” Bolden said. He held Huber’s even larger phone to test it out, and he decided that its size isn’t terrible either.

Based on that experience, one may spot Bolden with an iPhone 6 in the future. The reasons it isn’t in his pocket currently are because he believes he isn’t in need of a new one, and he is waiting for problems to be found and fixed.

“I know typically, and this happens with any technology, when they first bring it out there are some glitches and whatnot so I don’t necessarily mind waiting for a little while,” Bolden said.

Junior Will Ikejiofor is a proud owner of the iPhone 6. He agrees with Huber that “it’s pretty awesome.” He upgraded from a cracked iPhone 4, so he’s “really glad [he] has this.”

Huber’s new phone, though, is his fourth iPhone so “some of the luster is gone.”

Is Apple better than other companies? Huber believes so. He owned a Galaxy S3 before he converted to Apple. Huber believes that Samsung and Android have “a lot of dazzling features but just seems to be very gimmicky. It’s nice, but is it really useful?”

Judging Apple from a different view, junior Philip Kinhart prefers other companies more.  As an owner of the Galaxy S4, he has no problems whatsoever and is completely content.

Why doesn’t Kinhart have an iPhone?  He holds the idea that “their business practices are very immoral.”

According to Kinhart, “[Apple factories] have suicides, and the metal’s [ashes] that makes the phones gives [the workers] lung cancer.”  For more information regarding the Apple factories, click this link.

If that’s not enough, Kinhart also dislikes the way they are built, deeming them undurable.  “I can’t go off the top of the Empire State building and drop [my Galaxy phone], but they are [more durable],” Kinhart said.

Senior Jamie Teramani used to agree with Kinhart that other phones had higher quality. In October 2012, she bought the Samsung Stellar rather than “the cheapest iPhone that was offered.”

However, Teramani had a change of heart.  She is planning on buying the new iPhone 6 because it is “better than the alternative[s].”

Huber agrees, saying that “its just the quality of the product” that makes it “good” and “simple.”

The number of people who own an iPhone in America has grown over the past years and continues on, according to The Statistics Portal, despite any complaints regarding the factories and the phone itself.
