IPhone 4S / iPhone 5 Thread

It's typically the user and their inability to grasp how android works. Trust me, I have apple and android devices and each have their pros and cons. Not every OS is for every user. I'd rather have my ipad for my tablet, but an android device for a phone. I always have my phone with me and not always my tablet. Versatility to me is key. IOS is too locked down to be my go-to on the go.
The OEMs (Motorola, HTC, Samsung) and to an extent Google are competing in terms of specs, Apple is competing in terms of overall user experience. What good is a 1.5 Gz dual-core 3D phone with a 5 inch screen when it has a much smaller collection of quality apps and games, a less polished and functional operating system, and an overall sup-par user experience?
Yeah there's the "openness" but how many users actually root their device and/or take advantage of the openess of Android? A tiny percentage.
At the end of the day though I agree with Lik - it is an individual preference thing. I do appreciate Android for it's advantages (the biggest in my opinion is it's free built-in navigation), and I do use both an iPhone 4 and Nexus S 4G, but if I had to choose 1 it's Apple all the way.

Trust me breh, I know how to grasp the android. But the unpolished apps, the shitty OS, the freezing, the lag, etc. Too many problems to list. iOS and iphone overall is just so much smoother, more polished and a more efficient and effective product IMO. Not to mention the high retina resolution killed everything for me when I first saw it.
This is coming from PC man.

You forgot to mention locked down...I love my iPad but again my phone is my information station. Widgets alone give me the ability to get information from multiple sources without having to do anything. With the press of a button I can send an email or text or spark up my free GPS navigation by using my voice. I can custom fit my phones interface to my needs and can choose hardware. For my phone, I'll take the fitted over a one size fits most.
being with att for so long the iphone is the only option for a phone. what other phones do they offer that top the iphone? the whole switch to a different company went out the window a while ago when my 3g out performed a driod x (internet connection wise, with no wifi). im willing to wait for a ip5 but at this point i dropped my phone so many times and just broke my sim card holder the other day, i need a new phone now.
reading all these posts you guys CLEARLY don't know much about iphones despite working for apple. lol
most of you just seem like ur on some apple hating shit rather than accepting the truth.
like other dude said i don't have a macbook or none of that shit but fact of the matter is IPHONE IS THE BEST. Fresh out of the box it is better because the App Store shits on every other store. Then when you jailbreak it you get cydia which is a 3rd party app store. Get Installous and have free apps, or get all kinds of sick mods like mobile substrate, sbsettings, multifl0w, winterboard etc. etc. Oh and add the TVOUT cord to ipod pimpness, i play any vid from iphone, youtube or comp on any tv without even usin airplay.
There is jailbroken apps for standard youtube, none of that mobile shit with limited songs, one to download vids, one to watch tv shows, new movies, live streams etc.
galaxy 2 is a faster iphone 4 with shit apps and no customization. and the best tablet i think is the bb playbook because it has full flash integration so it is the only one actually browse like a proper laptop.
i don't buy into apple's gimmicky shit either, i have a $300 dollar pc that runs win7, win8 and mac osx lion as good as a $1200 macbook.
