    I am happy with the quality however the price is extremely high... Same price of the 32 GB. It's time for iPhone to be more affordable.

    great phone. I love it. the only thing is battery life. it may depend on what I use and how often I used it. sometime need to charge after one or two days. But is is still great phone. Best Buy has more selection. I went to other storea and they do not have the color I want, I went to Best Buy and they have all colors in store. I picked one up within an hour and walked out with my new phone.

    this is my first iphone and it will be my last, the glass face is much to be desired, it will break if you look the wrong way, do yourself a favor get something else.
