    I'm trying to keep it down, but I think I'll have to start dropping stats pretty soon. Apple 5 looks like a good phone, but I don't think they did anything new enough to make it THAT good. Just larger and faster really... But I guess that's all that any phone is

    Probably all true , but most people never use their phone to it's ultimate capabilities , so for most , those differences don't mean much

    Hahaha yes I do, especially the slim hard ones. But in all honesty I'll probably get a droid next time around to see what the hype is about.

    I'm biased since every droid phone I've owned took a shit on me and I've owned around 4 or 5. I'm on my 4th iPhone and never had issues with any of them.

    If that's the case then I would honestly go with an iphone as well. Apple is very good at making things dummy proof, so their menus are very fluid and easy to navigate. The only reason I would go iphone myself is the app support as it is very deep indeed. If you like having full control over a device and modifying it as you wish, then the flagship devices running Android are better IMO. I'm not ready to get into an Android vs iOS debate though

    Do it. And hype? Are you kidding me? No one has more hype than Apple

    Apple does have alot of hype around them...

    I probably wouldn't be into modifying my phone, too scared to break it and having to fork out the big bucks to replace it

    I will admit apple has alot of hype but they do the things they are meant for very well. My 4s has never glitched, froze, or randomly shut down on me. The problem is it doesn't let you do alot of things like put as many apps in one group or certain ones in groups. This is the reason I will get a droid to see if it is better.
