I use the iPhone to take pictures and videos on all of my jobs. I recently had to have one replaced due to water damage. It did not get dropped in water but, I must have had enough water on my hands while taking a picture to destroy the phone! Thank goodness the girl at the Apple store was able to give me a new one without charging me for the replacement. Since I replaced it, I found an awesome case that is water proof and not much larger than the iPhone itself. It is called the Lifeproof iPhone case. This case can be submerged in 6 feet of water and will not effect the phone! (I''m not going to test this claim out, I'll just take their word for it! LOL) I did however see the case in action at Best Buy where they had a iPhone in the Lifeproof case floating in a bowl of water while still powered on and functioning. The price is $80 which is high for a phone case but, still much less than the cost of replacing an iPhone! I have been using it with no problems so, I feel it was money well spent!
Thanks for the info Eric. I'm up for an upgrade in a few days and the Iphone was at the top of my list. Is this what your using for all of your pictures and videos you post here? What amount of storage does your model have, and do you feel it's enough? I'm with Sprint, and they have a few different iphones with varying storage capacity. I'm not sure which one would be best without going for the $800 64g phone.
I have been using iPhones for years for all my pics and videos. I had the 3gs with 32g but, have recently upgraded to the 4s with only 16g. I have a pretty good music collection on the phone and still take a great deal of pics and videos. I do download my pics and videos to my PC after each job and then remove them from the phone so they don't take up storage. I am no where close to using up the 16g. The camera on the 4s is great, it is HD and takes great pictures and videos. I think the iPhone is a great choice for your upgrade!
I also have the iPhone 4s, 16g. Unfortunately.... I have to head to the Genius Shop in Lancaster for a new front screen.... DROPPED mine! There's a bout a thousand cracks.... and it still works.... no CHEAP case for me anymore.... I'll be looking for that Lifeproof case Eric.... Thanks !
