The way I see it is this.
As a company, I dislike Apple. Each year they realise a slightly different iPhone with another £100 put on top. The changes they make are often pretty small or unnecessary. They then charge you for a new charger, new this, etc.
Samsung is a more customer-friendly company. Any of you who have heard of the Samsung Canada Dinosaur Custom Galaxy S3 - http://technabob.com/blog/2012/08/29/samsung-gives-fan-free-galaxy-siii/ - will understand. Samsung specs are generally better with the Galaxy SIII and I think it looks better.
When it comes to App Store vs Android Market, the App Store is generally more user friendly- but that is variable.
As it stands I prefer Samsung to Apple.
HOWEVER, then we get to the operating system. IoS is the clincher. It is by far superior to anything else I have come across.
So it looks like I'll be buying an Iphone...
oh but wait- THEY'RE CHARGING THAT FOR IT!!

1.) They don't put £100 on top...iPhone 5's are launching at the same price as the 4S did...
2.) They don't charge you for a new charger, that comes with the phone
3.) You can get them for VERY cheap on a 18/24 month contract..

1) Current price is £80 on top of the current Iphone 4s price according to Amazon. My point was not for launch price, but for the new phone comparitive to whats out there, with limited improvement.
2) Oh sorry, I meant docking station and all other accessories for the previous models.
3) Which requires you to buy an 18/24 month contract- which will be after the iphone 6 comes out- and the contracts themselves are usually obscenely high. For your average Joe anyway, thats a substantial amount of money to pay for a phone bill i can get for a tenner off giff gaff.
