    if you have an ipad/mac then go with iphone as with the continuity of yosemite/ios 8 its all linked in very well
    Though you are sort of saying here that an iPhone won't work so great for a non-Mac owner then aren't you, which is 90%+ of users.

    Wow. I was here at the start of this thread and knew it would end up like this. Why can't people discuss which phones they prefer and why without inserting "such and such phones are shyte".
    End up? We had an iPhone fan in right at the start doing it.

    For me it's quite simple. If you want a hassle free phone that works and is practically impossible for you to screw up by changing settings then get an iPhone. If you want a pain in the ass, get an android.
    Funny how you didn't notice and skipped to giving out about an anti-iPhone post at the end though, isn't it?

    However, I did send my iPhone 5 back last week to get the sleep button replaced. It was working perfectly but they still had it on a recall. While they had it they also replaced the battery. All this was completed in 4 days and was free. Who else would do that for a 2 year old phone?
    Who else?

    Absolutely everybody actually. By law.
    But don't let that stop you feeling special.

    Nit picking? I had android phones and did find them a pain in the ass. It's not the same as saying that they that they are shyte at all.

    Jaysus...do you ever stop Apple bashing? It was over 2 years old. I was one of the first to get it. Therefore they did not have to repair it at all and could have told me to get lost especially since it was working fine. I didn't feel special. I just think it is great service.

    Ah yes, "nit-picking". Roughly translates on the internet as "yes, you've proved me 100% wrong but that's only like, facts man".

    Have had 3 samsung phones and have had major problems with all 3,have the s4 at the moment which isn't working,samsung have been a nightmare to deal with regarding fixing the phone,i'll probably buy an iphone this week even tho i paid 700quid to buy this phone less than a year ago,all in all i will never buy a samsung product again

    If your beef's with Samsung, would you not consider trying another brand then? Lots of people rave about HTCs, Sony has its fans etc. Just wondering.

    Fulfilling their legal obligations under EU consumer law is "great service".
    mmmk.
    Any chance you'd care to quote my supposed Apple bashing? (hint: I was "bashing" you for thinking something absolutely standard practice was amazing, not Apple)

    If it's a known design issue then the standard guarantee period does not apply.
    Again, absolutely nothing to do with Apple. It's utterly standard consumer protection law.
    Please try understanding your EU (not Apple) given right again. If you can your hysterics that is.

    My issue is you said I was "nit-picking" when I proved you wrong and your brilliant response is to tell me you are laughing.
    Wow, I'm feeling so comprehensively beaten here because you apparently are laughing. Great.

    my vote goes for the nexus - no bloatware and the price is great when compared to other phones of similar spec.

    (runner up is the moto g - silly amount of phone for for practically no money )


    also the iphone is great but stupidly overpriced.

    Christ, some people really have nothing better to do with their lives than this Android vs Apple handbags-at-dawn nonsense.

    OP; Whether to go for one or the other is really up to you. Android is typically cheaper and top range devices tend to be more advanced technologically to the iPhone. The iPhone, and Apple products in general, are easier and intuitive to use and better for those who either lack or are not bothered to get into the technology of a device - this of course means that you've better protected on an iPhone, but only because it won't allow you to install a lot of things that Android users get to use, so it's a double edged sword.

    Both Apple and Android have pros and cons so it probably comes down to what deals are available for either on the networks, and given none of the idiots fighting on this thread seems to have even bothered to suggest anything in that direction, I'm just going to close it. As moderator, I apologize for the lack of maturity of the other posters here.
