Is the iPhone 5S worth it? or Samsung Galaxy S5?

I just hate having to use iTunes and the overall closed nature of the iPhone.

Going back to android as soon as I can.

I'm of the belief if you go android you have to get one of the following devices either a galaxy s or note, htc one, or nexus...if your getting a windows you have to get a Nokia and if your getting an iphone you get the latest years model prior to the halfway point of its release...

Also a word of advice apple products have way better resale value then android or windows devices.... I had someone offer me a galaxy note tablet 2013 model 10.1in and 75 dollars for my ipad air and only reason I'm hesitant is because I have an iphone and MacBook....if I had an android it would be a wrap but majority of my new apps have new purchased from iOS.

Yeah I'm not sure how much it would cost for me to buy all the apps I have on my iPhone 4S if I had to download them to Android.

There is already 5S, fakkit. And even dual core 5 is faster than S4.

Oh yeah, and suck my dikk, fukkboy.

The only reason why IOS seem better than Android software is because Apple have the advantage of optimizing its software to its hardware since they design the architecture and Samsung manufacture it.

If you think about it, there's only the iPhone while there's thousands of Android devices and different chips layered with different skins. These skins aren't optimized that well with the software and causes lag.

When comparing android phones, the top dogs are Motorola, HTC, Sony, LG, and Samsung.

The advantage to having an Android phone is the selections and customization.

The advantage of having an iPhone is the support and apps, they're usually first with the best apps and games

There are more advantages to having an Android phone than an Iphone, but that doesn't mean Iphones are terrible.

If you're not tech savy, and just want a phone to work, then buy an Iphone; other than that, buy an Android phone.

This isn't completely true. Samsung basically rewrites Android to tailor to their phones. They've been doing it since the GS1....
There is fundamental parts of Android that prevent it from operating as efficiently as Java in certain respects. Main thing is the separation between the hardware from the software because of the Java virtual machine layer. While fast, it causes certain operations to have to jump through more hoops than what would be required on iOS, hence the reason why you cannot get low latency in audio with android.

Your phone based posts are terrible



Nah breh. Htc one got that cheesy ass plastic strip dividing it and has the habit of popping off speaker grills when dropped :flabbynsick:
Lumias are nice, but I see nothing that makes them have "better" build quality.

To the dude that stated processing power, I'm still waiting for somebody to show me an example of something Android can do with quad cores that iOS cannot. shyt the A7 murders most all other soc on a per core basis handily..
Breh, the HTC One is regarded as the best built phone of all time...there really is no debate here.

As far as the Lumias? The 900, 920, and the 1020 feel indestructible in the hand. Nokia has had a reputation for making very high quality feeling phones, but of course an iPhone supporter won't see why they would have better build quality.

I was trolling with the GS phone posts, but Android is lightyears ahead of iOS these days...and this is coming from someone who has been using an iPhone as my main phone for the past 2 weeks as I am testing an app in development.

Yet..i still have no concrete reason Android is supposedly "light years" ahead of iOS. Also, HTC One (which i owned for 5 months) lost in the drop test against iPhone. Speaker grille (which is glued to the top) popped right off on the first drop..and the screen cracked a drop or two later.

I can play the same game. This iPhone that I have had for just 2 weeks already has a bit of water underneath the screen already. Only thing I can think of is the fact that I left it in the bathroom with me when I was in a rush one morning. Even my low end Lumia 521 did not have that problem.

As far as not having a concrete reason as to Android being light years ahead of iOS...Just do a couple of searches :laugh:

No, your post isn't completely true.

Samsung rework around the code google gives them and try to optimize it to the best of their ability. Samsung uses two chipsets, Qualcomm Snapdragon series and its own Exynos. Qualcomm doesn't have a good track record of releasing drivers for their chips. How can they take advantage of a chipset when they didn't write the architecture for? But, that's mainly for the US Galaxy flagships

The issue regarding Low Latency in audio with android was problem during the Galaxy Nexus days and Google offered provided solutions to that problem in Jelly Bean and Kit-Kat. If Java was as much as problem then windows would have been having the same low latency issues too.

Apple is playing catch up to Android, IOS 7 redesign is apple trying to play catch up to Android.

You could try to boast about how iphones are better than android phones, but they're not.

Even Apple knows that Android is a problem, they see their shareholders losing interest in them and taking their business elsewhere--Samsung and Google. Tim Cook better thank Icahn for keeping shareholders at bay for awhile. Every year Apple is losing to Android; market share, software and design, the numbers aren't lying.

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
The thing with the iphone is you only have one choice. they only make one (not even gonna include the 5c) so they put all of their best into it.

Because android is used by different manufactures you don't get that across the board uniformity. You got phones with bad features and good features. In order for me to get a android I would have to take elements from 4 different phones to create one which is impossible. My android phone doesn't exist so I would have to settle.

You're settling by only having one choice of what Apple thinks is best for you :laugh:

A couple searches? You're being facetious, and I can't take that seriously . I can do the opposite search and find in apples favor.
You are the first I've ever heard of having water get under the screen...not anywhere near a common apple problem.

Yet Apple posts record numbers every year :snoop: Apple cares not about certain markets. What they do care about is profits, of which the other manufacturers are begging for the scraps at the table after apple and Sammy are done.
And you are dead wrong. There is still no solution for low Audio latency, hence the reason the audio programs on android are defintely sub-par.
Also, it is very bad practice to compare android java to windows java. Another reason that example is not in your favor is that music programs written for windows don't even use java as a language...
