When Gaga switched from BB to iPhones

[Reject False Icons 4,717]

Just a small curious question 

Gaga took her sweet time to change her beloved blackberry; author of the Judas cover for the less outdated Apple platform. 

but when did she, the last time I saw her BB was on the BTW era and i don’t know when did she had always the latest iPhone

also why did she took so much time? If she innovated with social media connection with fans, why is she no longer tech now?

It was late 2012- early 2013. She was holding white iPhone 5.

During this time people were still using their Blackberry because the BBM feature which are known to be secure. Especially business people are using it religiously even if they also got iPhone.

But after Blackberry put their BBM as separate app into appstore in late 2013 for awhile, there is no need to own a Blackberry device anymore.

Also Stiftung Warentest, an independant consumer-oriented comittee from Germany, found out in 2014 that once they put the BBM in the app stores, it lost all sorts of encryption and was actually considered a safety hazard for all mobile phones that downloaded it and the Electronic Frontier Foundation considered it to be one of the least least secure messenger apps on the market, rating it with one out of seven possible stars

Ohhh the Blackberry Curve 8900 was my favorite phone I ever owned...  I got it in 2009 and used it until 2012 I think... good times (I still have it )

Gaga used blackberry for the longest time cuz her nails were too long for iPhone. She said that on Howard stern in 2011 

Last time she had blackberry was the blackberry torch in this pic from sept 2012:

I remember back then, I posted a thread here asking everyone what kind of Blackberry Gaga was using because I wanted to buy the same.

Everyone made fun of me, it felt so humiliating.
