Stephanie, any Apple device is the best as far as I’m concerned.
Ease of use is what I really like about them. I’m a techno cretin so I want something that doesn’t require my brain to fry every time I I need to know something…..and I’ve found the ‘help’ people really helpful. Of course Apple costs more but for me, well worth it. I also love the cloud and it’s storage capabilities. If you also have another Apple device, like an IPad, you can ‘mate’ the two so that if you take fotos on your cell phone they will also show up on your IPad, assuming you were near WiFi when you took them. Apple has so many neat features that are easy to use.
