    *unless you need to go into the U.S. District Court where you must leave your iPhone outside.

    Items # 2- 31 – agreed. Item # 1 “telephone” – not so much. The iPhone is almost nonfunctional for me as a phone. The ATT service features poor connections, garbled conversations and dropped calls. I carry a second phone from Verizon for any call that is important or that I expect will be more than 10 seconds long.

    This list applies to most smartphones today. Admittedly the list may not be so long with other phones, but the iPhone is not alone in this field.
