People selling iphone for android phones!

I've started using my 4S as my main phone once again and am leaving the Nexus 4 at home. I'll still keep the Nexus 4, I just like using the 4S much more.

In the end though, it only matters to yourself what phone you use because no one else really cares.

I fail to see how a non-LTE device beats iPhone 5 on LTE.

Never said it beats it, but is LTE worth 2x the price when t-mobile hspa is just as fast?

But I can't help but believe there are significantly more Android users who slam Apple that have never owned an iPhone, then there are iPhone users who slam Android and have never owned an Android phone.

I must admit that I think the complete opposite, and certainly on MacRumors IMHO (No facts or figures) there are many, many more iPhone users that have not had an Android device than the other way round.

I have had both and still believe both systems are superb.

Whilst I totally agree with you about the iPhone users present here, I get the impression from the forum overall that there are way more Android owners on the whole, which is strange for an Apple appreciating website. I'm in the minority being as I am an iPhone owner who was previously a long term Android user. I have to say I appreciate both platforms and recognise there are positives and flaws with each.

sure his gs3 is running ics and the iphone 5 I had was running ios 5

You sure about that? iPhone 5 shipped with ios 6.

I am not anti-android, nor am I an Apple fanboy ( for the smart *** that said it). It doesn't have to do with money at all, actually where I live the Samsung S3 costs $500 and when its used it's $250 (a year old phone). An iPhone may cost more, but when selling it its' price doesn't drop dramatically (iPhone 4, a 2.5 year old phone, still costs $400). That being said, an android phone with 1.9 Ghz octa-core with 2 GB of RAM still lags and is inconsistent, while an iPhone with 1.3 Ghz dual-core with 1 GB of RAM runs smoothly.
For those who think I'm trolling, I admire your intelligence.

Performance wise, it is extremely different, trust me.

My friend's Samsung Galaxy S3 is still running android 4.0 aka ice cream sandwich till this date. He got it before christmas and still hasn't updated.

I had my Samsung galaxy S2 before the S3 and had to live with gingerbread (did not update as well). I'm sure your father in law's iPhone running iOS 4.2 runs smoother than android 4.0.

I know, Project Butter was -way- needed.

Yeah... I only now noticed the sarcastic slant.

I was on GB with my Desire Z. I had no issues with it. I did compare it with his iP4 and I do agree that there is a noticeable difference in the smoothness on the iP4 compared to my DZ. I also noticed that it takes more steps to do certain things on his iP4 compared to my DZ at the time. Smoothness isn't everything. I do agree it does make a nicer first impression. However, smoothness doesn't make up for taking fewer steps to do various things I do every day.

Currently, I have an SGS3 running JB. The smoothness is greatly improved over GB on my DZ. I haven't done a side by side comparison with my wife's iP4S yet. I'm sure that her phone is pretty smooth as she does practically nothing on it other than phone and text.

The iP has made some poor impressions on me in the past. When she switched from a flip phone to a low end Android phone, it was pretty easy moving her contacts and ring tone over. When she switched to an iP4S, it was a pain trying to move her contacts over. It was an even bigger pain moving her ring tone over. When I was asked to install WhatsApp on my father-in-law's iP4, I couldn't as his OS version was too old. I couldn't figure out how to update the OS. Later, I learned that I needed to plus his phone into his PC and use iTunes. Just something I wasn't used to.

These are certainly not every day tasks that most people would encounter. As the IT support for my extended family, I happen to run into situations where the iPhone has made a poor impression on me.
