this episode of technobuffalo is brought to you by netflix hello internet and welcome back to another episode of ask the Buffalo the show where you get to ask me Ashley ask ever any question you might have from the wide world of technology every tuesday we put up a call for questions on TechnoBuffalo com you can leave your question in the post comments otherwise you can send them to me anytime of the day or night on twitter at TechnoBuffalo or at Ashley ask ever make sure you use the hashtag ask the be so I can see it and usually I'll answer between three and five questions every episode let's get answering because this is ask the Buffalo our first question comes from one who asks hey Ashley I'm running out of contract in a couple of months i have an iphone 4s and have an Apple ecosystem I'm tempted to change to an Android device but i'm afraid that i bought so many apps that all is going to waste what do you think I should do stay with iOS or changed to another operating system well my answer for that is is I understand that I too have an iphone and I have bought into that ecosystem quite heavily and it can be very difficult to switch into a new ecosystem if you spend a lot of money my suggestion you is if you have a 4s I would just wait and see how you feel about iOS 7 before deciding to move to Android the other thing is is it's not that much different from iOS 6 but there are some nice improvements and it might be enough to keep you in the apple ecosystem but if it isn't you'll know right away when you get that system update to iOS 7 and you'll know you want to go android so that's my suggestion try iOS 7 when it comes out officially and if you don't like it head on over to android town twitter user Julian j lanza asks should i grab a nexus 4 while it's cheap or should i wait for the nexus 5 or whatever it's going to be called man the nexus 4 is really cheap right now it's a hundred and ninety-nine dollars for the base model which is how much you pay for an on contract phone if you can get it I would say the nexus 4 is a pretty great device if you are not a ship hopper if you're not somebody who literally buys the newest phone every three to six months the nexus 4 is a great a lot of people still use it as their daily driver it's a fantastic phone obviously running stock Android can't go wrong with that like I said flagship hopper definitely wait for the next version of the nexus but if you're not and you can deal with it or honestly for 200 bucks muscles buy one right now and then in a year you could even get a nexus 5 on contract for the same price i would say if you're looking for new phone right now get the nexus 4 totally worth it twitter user Salim Usama asks do you put cases and or screen protectors or are you the person who would take the risk and go naked with beauty I feel like this is kind of a double entendre question here Salim Usama but I will tell you this is my iphone there is as you can see no case on it there's also no screen protector I do I'm a risk taker I'm a rebel i'm a loner dottie I definitely have no cases because really at the end of the day so many phones are coming out that are gorgeous and why would you want to room that with a case a big bulky case I mean the iPhone 5 is meant to be slim and beautiful and easy to put into a pocket or a purse I just have to make sure I do have to take the extra precaution to not put it next to keys because obviously as a lady you don't want that all rattling around in your bag Erin asks is John ever coming back because he is the Buffalo okay there's a couple of answers this question number one John makes more videos than I do in a week our YouTube channel so he is still here I don't know if you guys have noticed but he does make a lot of videos um however he doesn't do ask the Buffalo anymore so he's probably dancing behind me right now if I'm guessing yeah John is here he's here all the time he does videos all the time his unboxings and and hands-on and reviews and all that stuff and then I do the really fun scripted things that go on and I am I just know something crazy is happening behind me and I'm not even a look because I just like to let John do whatever he wants to do because really this is his joint so he's love do whatever he wants guys we got to take a second from ask the Buffalo and talk about the final season of breaking
