What do you think of getting new mobiles? Wondering as I've always liked getting them, but my mum hates it as it takes her ages to get used to using them. My mums mate is same as her. It seems to be younger people (no offence to anyone) get used to them quicker as they have grown up with them. My younger cousin was born in 2000 just as they started getting popular and he had his first mobile from being about 8. He can pick one up and work out how to use it if anything better than me or same as me. I had my first mobile in 1999 and from them til about 2013 I changed phone every year as there was always something new added to them. Games, wap (the first basic internet) colour screen, camera, video, touch screen and more recent Live Photos. I have always got a new phone soon after something new was added. Now with touch screen ones there isn't much more they could do so not as bothered over new ones unless one breaks. Decided in October last year I was due a new phone I had blackberry z10 but wifi stopped connecting so that was enough to get new phone. Decided on an iPhone based on the fact nothing much new could be added I looked at the 6 and 6s 2 newest at time. I saw 6s had 3D Touch so thought mite as well get that and with that being under a month old. Must say now I am so glad I went for the newest one I love the new Live Photos on it.

AGe may be partly a factor, but it's also about attitude....

I know plenty of people younger, or similar age to me (not young0 that are scared at ANY change.

I've always embraced change, new things - I'll switch OS's on phone, desktop... I went Android for years to my first iOS device last Sep. A few hours later I was happily HELPING FRIENDS who'd had iOS an age....

I normally enjoy getting used to a new phone, until the last one. I hated it from the start and still hate it. Can't wait to get rid of it in a few weeks.

It's not age, it's attitude. I learned to type back in the dark ages of manual typewriters and can remember when 'word processing machines' were cutting edge technology. I've kept up with and embraced all the changes and improvements. It ain't me. It's this @#£&* phone!

I have always loved getting now phone but the HTC Desire s that I had 3 years ago turned out to be one of the worst phone I have ever had due to signal drop outs in poor signal areas. Was glad to get rid of it after 16 months.
It normally takes me a day or two to get used to any new phone.
It tane me just over a day or so to get used to the IPhone 5s after I upgraded from the Nexus 4 about a month ago.

Actually supposing how popular the 5s is for how old it is. My cousin has got 5s and never puts it down he used to get new phones often before he got this phone. To be fair what more can any phone do now? More editing with Live Photos like get still photo of any part of live photo, probably can already if you do screen shot at right time. More mp cameras, better battery life. That's about it I think. They are already used for much more than calls and text.
