How can £70 for a good used LG be a lot when the average iPhone costs £400 and is inferior?

I was talking new but since they hold their value to ridiculous levels amend that to £300.

A second-hand iPhone 6 could cost you twice that much, a second-hand iPhone 7 is around four times that much, looking at the musicMagpie store on eBay.

How do they compare to the LG/Android features ?

Not a clue, Mike. I was going by release date. Both the iPhone6 (09/14) and the iPhone7 (09/16) were released before your phone, which was released in 02/17.
The iPhone 8 (09/2017) is selling for £400-£500+ refurbished, and iPhone X (10/2017) £500-£700+

How do they compare to the LG/Android features ? Many apps are comparable, but the two OS are not. iOS uses walled-garden app containment. No ability to share files in a central file system. Android has an open shared file system. Files can be shared between apps and read when the phone is connected to a laptop. |

The big thing I am told I have cut myself off from is the wonderful shared everything on Apple. The Applytes seem to be sharing lots of stuff - bearing in mind I know little of what I talk about here |

That's up to you and whether you'd ever use it.
All functions are available for global platforms, such as Skype for video calls, WhatsApp for messaging. There is no need to use Apple-centric apps.

Passwords
As this is a Smart phone and has access to *everything* (?) via Google, plus I carry it out of the house....
How good a password for a phone ?
Super duper complicated best ?

Just a 4-digit PIN should keep you safe. I use that but most often facial recognition works for me (don't look for it, it's a feature of my phone). Whatever you do, don't forget your PIN!

I have 3 methods: Face recognition, Thumbprint and 4 number pin that will open the phone

Mike can use...
• A Knock Code: Tap the spaces of the screen in accordance with a pattern to unlock the screen.
• Pattern: Draw a pattern to unlock the screen.
• PIN: Enter a numeric password to unlock the screen.
• Password: Enter an alphanumeric password to unlock the screen.
I use a pattern lock on most of my devices, and fingerprint I.D. on the iPad

Have you tried a life sized photo or print your face on a balloon and then blow it up, and see? |
