[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1538840"] This is probably due to you having already damaged your hearing through excessive loud music playing. You might want to consult an audiologist about this, but for heaven's sake don't go making the problem worse by playing things a maximum volume!! (and I'm not one of those snooty jazz fans who looks down their nose at rock music; I go to concerts all the time) Sure they are, but you set them in iTunes on your computer, and then turn the iPod's equalizer off: [url]https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1088999?start=0&tstart=0[/url] It is no accident that the iPhone is in fact the single most popular camera in the world. Ah, thanks for reminding me of the second reason I don't like Android: you are totally at the mercy of your carrier (except for small number of models made directly for Google) as to WHEN and IF you will EVER get an update from the version you bought that came with the device. And it is in the carrier's interest NOT to provide you with updates. And even when they do, it's usually MONTHS after the update originally came out, even if said update included important security fixes. Apple has it ALL OVER Android on this particular point. As for "more features, better features": usually the latter claim is, at best, arguable, but I will certainly cede the former part of that. However, "more features" doesn't always translate into a hit: the Galaxy S4 has been a big disappointment compared to the SIII, because its extra features were seen as gimmicky, little-used and not good enough to merit it being pushed as a major upgrade. Having loads of features hasn't helped the HTC One, the BlackBerry Z10 or the Lumia 920 (or whatever the current flagship is) from being universally ignored. Having tons of "more features" didn't help any MP3 player in any way whatsoever to challenge the iPod. The 41MP camera phone on the Nokia 1020 hasn't helped it challenge the iPhone. If you're a hopeless tinkerer, Android may be the best choice (though I think the two concerns I mentioned are very serious problems at present). As I said earlier, the best Android products aren't bad at all (barring the issues I mentioned). But when you get to the point in your life where you realise that having a phone that just does what it says on the tin, made by people who genuinely care, is more valuable than endless customization time sucks -- get an iPhone.
