Old school iPhone girl contemplating cheating with Android.

Well? What happened?!

Tough choice indeed. I had a iPhone from the 3GS, 4, 4S, and now the 5. I switched to the Galaxy S4 and loved it for a while but three things made me switch back to the iPhone.

1. Lag: My S4 was not as speedy as my iPhone 5 and froze a lot with simple tasks or just hitting the home button.

2. I dropped my phone while in a case and I lost all 500+ pictures and 1000+ songs on my SD card. I guess the drop wiggled the SD card out of place a bit and by doing so wipes the card. AT&T told me it was quite common.

3. Build quality: Yes, The iPhone is supposed to shatter easy, but nothing like the S4. I dropped it ONCE from maybe 8 inches face down onto a desk and it shattered the screen. I dropped my iPhone 5 many times case-less from 5+ feet onto cement with nothing more then a few scratches. After that broken screen I decided to go back to my iPhone 5 for now until Samsung makes a better build phone. I really like the new iOS 7 as well, and I have a Macbook Pro so maybe I am a little bias as well ;)

I've honestly never heard any of those kind of problems with the S4. There is absolutely no lag on my wife's s4, I can't speak about the SD card cause she doesn't have one, but the dropping thing. I've tossed it across the the yard into the drive way (we have the full replacement insurance on it) just to see and not a scratch. Maybe it was the case you got, she has the speck back cover and an invisible shield screen protector.

Sucks to hear you had a bad experience. Although, I do think you're a fan boy/girl haha. Everyone I've heard say anything about iOS 7 is either asking why it sucks or explaining why it sucks.

I LOVE my S4

I have owned every generation iphone since the first one and I've owned just about every major android release except the note 3 and the s4, the reason I haven't owned one of these is because after much comparison I'm fully convinced, apples phones are superior, in reliability, smoothness, and performance. I will never experiment with any android device again. :)

My bad experience with an iPhone was the antenna on my 4s when out and apple wanted an obscene amount of money to fix it. Literally could not make a call anywhere any time of day.

My s3 has yet to fail me on anything.

It is a great phone do not get me wrong, but some days it lags. Not with internet or downloads but just switching screens or going to the home screen. Not a big noticable lag, but for a iPhone user I noticed it! Apple just made their operating system very snappy and user friendly which I like. I use my phone for everything. I switched to the S4 for more customizing and for the open user experience but it really is not much better then the iPhone IMO for what I do. And my friend dropped her S4 from hip hight and hers cracked easily as well. I may switch to the S5 if it is built out of anything but plastic!

Oh and iOS 7 is great. People just do not like change!

The only thing I envy about the iPhone or iOS is the GUI support they provide. Most (not all) apps look "pretty" to some extent.

We ended up both getting the HTC One on a "share everything" family plan. I lovvve it so far.
I was at a friends house for lunch yesterday afternoon and held her iphone and it felt so MINI! haha
Still learning all the tips/tricks to this phone, though. Does anyone know how to make the wallpaper behind all the apps different than just black? :rolleye2:

Go to the photo, save it, in your gallery press the menu button, set as, home screen.
