43 per cent are jealous of other smartphone users.
Is the Apple halo slipping? Although the firm sold 4m units (http://www.mobile-ent.biz/news/read/apple-sells-4m-iphone-4ss-in-a-weekend/015872) of the iPhone 4S in its opening weekend, there is evidence of some disenchantment with its devices.
Mobile phone comparison site www.GoodMobilePhones.co.uk claims 22 per cent of UK iPhone users wish they had chosen a different device.
The report says of those regretting the purchase, 73 per cent were male while 27 per cent were female.
Almost half of iPhone users at 43 per cent say they are jealous of users that own other smartphones, while 25 per cent as unhappy with the phone's battery life, according to the report.
Further results show 13 per cent were unsatisfied with the lack of buttons, eight per cent had difficulty using emails and five per cent were disappointed with its functionality.

I'm happy with my iPhone 4 that I bought last September, only annoyance with it is the Call Failed issue which happens because the 4.2.1 firmware doesn't totally play nice with the 4.10.01 baseband (upgraded to 4.3.3 and didn't like it).

And don't forget about simple buyers remorse after following the Apple herd, i mean i'm gonna go out on a limb and say a huge majority of iPhone buyers just want the occasional game of Angry Birds and a internet browser and few other low end apps, but most just refuse to admit a £70 Android is more than up to the task because they like the image of whipping out their iPhone.
