    Old school iPhone girl contemplating cheating with Android.

    So I've been Team iPhone for forever, but lately my eye has been wandering to those on Team Android.

    INPUT?! Hold out for iPhone 5s or make the jump to S4 or HTC One?

    ALL THESE GROWN UP DECISIONS SUCK!

    The main difference between the two platforms is one has synergy and the other does not (kind of). Another point to consider is how much do you rely on the cell vs other electronic items (laptops, PC's, tablets, etc).

    Personally, one thing that was most important for me was to have (what I consider critical) data available to me regardless of device, connected to the world or not. iCloud filled that need for me.

    Another thing to consider is apps by platform. Additionally, do you care to deal with fragmentation or not.

    And finally - is it pretty? lol

    Side note - For Android phones - HTC hands down. Build quality is by far hands down better than the rest.
    S4 is a cool phone if you are into plastic.
    iPhone 5s - depends what you are currently using... 64bit processing is kind of cool on a mobile device, but moot if the resources are not present to take full advantage of the processing speed.

    I feel like I may have not helped you out here much, but it's just one little opinion to get the ball rolling for you. Good luck deciding.

    Old school iPhone girl contemplating cheating with Android.

    I use my phone exponentially more than I use my laptop or iPad. As far as iCloud goes, I don't rely on it at all.

    I'm currently using iPhone 4.

    No clue what fragmenting is LOL.

    Cloud base storage is not for everyone.

    Current Android or iPhone cells would be a massive upgrade!

    Quality and control of applications, not all are created equal. Some devs can be sloppy and sloppy code can do some terrible things to cells.

    Re: Old school iPhone girl contemplating cheating with Android.

    I have always had androids and love them. Currently using a S4 and love it. And I use my phone for EVERYTHING. There are several reasons why I haven't gotten an iphone. Dont like not having a removable card, also limited to storage space by phone, being stuck with itunes only, less free apps, apple proprietary crap...
    If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

    having had both, droid has more tweeks you can do with it,
    iphone, is more user friendly,

    its really comparing a windows computer to an apple.
    with windows you can alter so much more and do more dev type stuff, but with mac, you have to go out of your way to do the same things.... not sure if that makes sense to anyone but me....

    Yes, most Android cells do. Can increase storage capacity on the fly by swapping out to a much larger SD card.
