Really, id say the iPhone 5S, i do not know much about the galaxy, but what i do now is that iPhones do get a lot of updates and long support, plus it keeps its value for 2 years, so the iPhone will sell for more than the samsung. And iOS is a lot better than "Android".
As a matter of fact, I didn't! Thanks for the tip
IDK if I got this right, and sorry if it's a dumb question, but why would you need to root your device to instal Cerberus?
You get extra features on a rooted device and complete protection from a system wipe.
Its brilliant software without superuser access but that little bit better with it.
In what way?
Good function, good looking, good apps, good sync with other apple and mac products. To be honest i actually have not tried out android but from the looks and reviews i simply choose to prefer iOS over "Android". iOS > "Android".
The better phone right now? The Galaxy S4 hands down.
For the next two years? I'd take the iPhone.
I trust Apple more than Samsung to continue releasing software updates and carry out repairs. Also resale value will remain high for iPhone.
You aren't really in a position to comment then.

You seem to be far from what your username suggests.
How can you make a statement such as
and then say
By all means advise the OP of the benefits of ios, but if you have no experience of Android, then its probably best not to offer advice about it.

Um, so because of one mistake I'm dumb
? anyways it was a dumb comment because now the "Android" people are gonna start a flame war lol.Um, so because of one mistake I'm dumb
Why do you keep posting the work Android in quotes for?
Flame war? No, us adults call these things discussions.
So you've never used Android, but are happy to go around telling people its no good. Can you give some actual examples of why you think ios is better then Android? Maybe we can open your eyes and educate you a bit.
I'd vote iPhone. Two years from now, it'll still be getting updates to latest version. The S4 doesn't even run the latest version of Android.

Latest version without the latest features.
Which are usually hardware based anyway, so big deal.Latest version without the latest features.
Okay, I'm not really an adult, but you already saw the things i said, and about the quatiotion marks
i have ocd and i feel like i have to do it. lol.Okay, I'm not really an adult, but you already saw the things i said, and about the quatiotion marks
Thats not giving examples though. What functions, what apps etc etc

I've had both phones. Both are good, I think it depends on the individual. They both are fast and smooth and have their advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, Siri. I really love siri and use it a lot. Now there is this google voice which doesn't have all the features that Siri has.
iOS layout (to me) look better and it is easier to use.
iOS/iPhone camera is really good and has many functions.
iTunes.
All the popular and good apps/games always comes first to iOS, Instagram etc.
Aren't you supposed to be in school right now?
Class/library/ISS? Something like that right?
I just wonder what will happen to Samsung Android devices once they in full Tizen mode.
If you do not know alot about the GalaxyS how can you offer an opinion?
Edit: Read your other replys and it seems you know nothing about Android either so why offer an opinion.

Alot of the extra features are not left out because of hardware, Siri for the iPhone4 being a prime example.

Well Dave, I can't blame you for not being familiar with anti theft solutions... I live in Brazil, and here robbery is quite high. In particular, cellphones and other smart devices are preferred by robbers for their high value and small size. Not having a way to lock your device, erase its data and track it down remotely is basically like driving your car without an insurance - someday you will regret not having it.
To mention an example, recently in Sao Paulo there was a huge wave of robberies targeting restaurant near closing time. Robbers wouldn't satisfy with stealling the day's cash, they would rob the customers as well, taking away anything of value - including cellphones. Most of the times they'd get away, except when one of the customers had a solution to track down his/her cellphone and warn the police about the thieves' whereabouts before they got to their slums - where they'd basically become 'untouchable', as our brave policemen simply wouldn't risk their necks going there without a 'good reason'. Noticeably, whenever a case like this reached the television, an iPhone could be seen among the belongings being returned to their owners...
In case you got interested, this site has a nice comparisson betweeen several Android solutions for tracking your device and protecting your property in case you need it. It is a bit outdated but it's a nice starting point for researching other solutions.
As for the AV, it's no secret that there is an increasing number of malwares targeting smart devices, and Androids are still the main target of these threats. While some of them only threaten your privacy by collecting data without your consent, others can literally turn your amazing smartphone into a zombie, taking control of your device away from your hands. In any case, these malwares end up using up valuable resources, in particular your cellphone data and battery.
In Brazil, most cellphones are prepaid, and your credits reach zero very fast if you even think of using 2G/3G internet on them. Even data plans offered here are way too small and too expensive. A malware can pretty much leave a cellphone owner poor in little time, forcing constant usage of cellular internet. For these reasons I also recommend to anyone buying an Android to choose an AV before starting.
Also, in case you change your mind about AV on Androids, this other site can give you some insight on the best ones available.
I hope to have helped you understand how I think... I do accept any thoughts
Android devices can be remote wiped also the storage can be encrypted so even if connected to a computer people wouldn't have access to any files.
