    My personal opinion is the S4. I am not a fan of apple or IOS, I think they are incredibly overpriced for what you get. I dont like the fact that everything has to be done through Itunes or that everytime you need an upgrade you have to hook it up to the computer. I think the S4 has a lot more capability for customization to your exact needs. That being said I know apple fans will hound me on this one.

    Re: iPhone 5S or Samsung Galaxy S4?

    I voted for the IPhone , but only because I have had IPhones forever and love them, I have not had problems (other than getting sand in the charging slot, my fault), I find them easy to use , especially since I am NOT tech savvy. I am one of those folks that if I find something I like, I stick with it. I really can't say anything about the galaxy as I have never had one. I'm not much help, but wanted to offer my small 2 cents

    My brother has been an apple/ iPhone user since the beginning of time... 2 months ago he decided to go with S4 and loves it.

    Amen. I think the 5S seems pretty awesome but I'm not a huge Apple fan.

    I would have said Samsung, but since apple released their new iOS, I am finding my opinion has shifted back to Apple.

    The iPhone 5S is what I would go with. I switched from the S4 back to my iPhone because of a few glitches with Androids OS. It was a great phone but it crashed a lot and the OS is not as snappy as Apples iOS. And the plastic back and screen shatter easy.

    Im looking to pickup a Note III but I would go the S4... Not big on the Mac stuff... they are good for non power users I guess.

    There's just so much more you can do on android, that isn't possible on the iPhone. However I'm a hug phone customizer, and don't like much of any thing that's stock.

    Expandable storage is also a huge thing for me. Want more for an iPhone? Too bad. Want more on (most any) androids? Pop a micro SD in, bam more storage.
