Dude, when is the last time you used android? My galaxy s3 runs JB and runs circles around iOS6 in speed, response time and stability.  Simple... maybe not quite as simple but damn damn close. I can actually multitask under android, and yes my battery life is better on the GS3 than my friend's Iphone5 (and the GS3 only has 2100 mAh).  A few of my friends have switched over and never looked back.

Then again, the iphone 5 does enough for most users.  I didn't buy the GS3 because I am a power user by any means.  I just liked the bigger screen and features of android (many of which are coming finally to OS7.  iOS7 take basically all of it's new features from android, including the ability to shut off wifi, etc. from a pull down menu.  Pull down menus in general.

Apple owned this market at first, but lately they are getting beat by android plain and simple.

 

As for the plastic feel of the Galaxy series.  I agree on that to some degree.  But have you seen the new HTC One?  Sexy phone with FRONT facing speakers.  I just think Android is too fa

Yesterday? I have friends (a lot) with GS4, GS3 and others Android phones... including some pads... the concensus is that iPhone is more stable yet.

The touch screen I don't know why is more responsible in iPhone 5 than GS4 too.

So you have a lot of friends that have GS4/3s and other Android phones and Android pads.  Yet they all agree that iPhone is more ... stable?   Why didn't they buy iPhones then?

I'm sorry, up to iOS6 Apple didn't even have a worth a damn pull down menu.  I've touched a few I devices after having my android phones and I would never go back, just feld so "walled in" starting with the home screen and everything else.

Also, Apple's new "made in California" advertising seems like a desperate [genius?] attempt to draw attention away from the fact that Android / Samsung is throttling them.  I want to like Apple products (used to have an ipod touch and ipad), but they have just fallen behind in their ways - worried more about profit margin than innovation. Then again, if they can get away with selling people the same crap I don't necessarily blame them.
