Do you feel like your iPhone 5 is out dated now that the Galaxy S4 is announced

I used to think the same way at one time.

But I hardly think ios was fine without a notification center, a multitasking/recent apps tray, better sharing options etc, things I had a year earlier on my jailbroken iPhones before apple implemented those on official ios versions.

Those are not just "preferences".

By that logic ios 1.0 was fine too, everything else that came was all preferences that people wanted

Thinking ios is fine as it is, is also a preference

I've never said otherwise.

I think the problem we run into with guys like Couch here is that what constitutes an "objective discussion on the two platforms" is merely "This is what iOS does terribly, therefore Android is better."

Rarely is this a two sided discussion - I find that the furthest from objective as possible. I also don't feel there needs to be a "winner" to have an objective discussion about faults and features in each OS/phone.

But what do I know - I'm a "blind loyalist"

I think we are all "loyalist" to an extent, but most of us can see that our brand of choice has its faults. Jrswizzle I know we have had our arguments, but I know we both understand that both android and iOS offer great things and one is not better than the other. I side more with android and like it better, but I also realize that it has its faults and will never be perfect. There are things I don't like about ios, but that does not mean they are faults I just don't like them. IOS has its faults too again neither of them are perfect. Some people just can see this. It has to be one or the other. Why not both? I have a note 2 and and iPad 2. I can't say which is better. One works for things that the other does not.
