iphone5 or android phone ? - Page 2

CaptainCock91 · 10-30-2013, 11:56 PM

Just got a Galaxy S3 last week and love it so far. I can't find anything that an iphone can do that the S3 can't.

I used to want an iphone, but was turned off of them once I saw how Apple tries to force people into newer products after a few years. I got a second generation ipod touch back in 2008 (a few months after it came out), then upgraded to a 4th generation touch in 2010. I gave my dad the older one, but he can no longer download apps to it, since all apps require a newer iOS (that isn't supported by the device). They do stuff like this with iphones too-iOS7 makes the older phones run incredibly slow and kills the battery. I figure that once my ipod touch doesn't support new apps, I'm done with Apple.

They also seem to hold back some new features on the new iphones. One example is 4G. HTC released the EVO 4G in 2010, but the iphone 5 was the first iphone that had 4G, and it was released in 2012. They gotta keep people coming back to buy the newest iphone every year.

I would check out them both in person first the Note 3 is a large device if you haven't held one before I would do that before you decide. The new Nexus phone is coming out soon, it is a phone designed by Google and will give you the best android experience of any phone out there. It has top notch specs and will be 349$ off contract. So if you are signing a new contract it will probably be under 100 dollars.

I have a 2nd gen iPod touch and they recently changed their app store so you can download old apps. When you pick an app it asks you if you want to download an older , compatible version of the app.

S4 is the best phone I've ever had. Only negative (depending on your perspective) is that it's not something you can easily fit in your pockets, but that's why they have Otterboxes now!

I'm going to get a new phone today and will be switching from Verizon to ATT. I'm thinking 75% GS4 and 25% iPhone 5s.

Went from a Droid X to a Samsung Charge to an iPhone 5. iPhone 5 is by far my favorite.

Of those three I agree that the iphone would be best. I think that the S4 would be better. I am leapfrogging it however and keeping my S3 until fall and then will upgrade to the S5.
