Well no it doesn't blow it out of the water, there is a reason the Apple iPhone (As well as the iPod and the Mac line) were named best brand of the year. The Galaxy S4 may a few nice features, a better camera and a bigger screen. but I would take the iPhone over it anyday Here are a few reasons 1: It works with all my other Apple products seamlessly 2: The OS and the hardware are made by the same company 3: To me there are too many useless features on the S4 (Like who would want turn over to mute? I turn mine over all the time and I want it to still play sound) 4: It isn't crafted no where near as nice and with as high quality as the iPhone is 5: AppleCare 6: The iTunes music store 7: The select of QUALITY apps 8: The broad range of accessories made for the iPhone. That is only a few of them. But remember this is only my opinion if you like the S4 better, I am happy that you found a phone that works for you. I am not trying to be rude at all. Have a nice day
