Thinking about a new phone, particularly because my phone broke when I was in turkey this summer... I'm pretty close to getting a free upgrade via tmobile and I hear they have iPhones there now.

I've looked up some info on the iPhone 5s and it looks pretty cool, but so does the galaxy s4. Any recommendations on which phones should get?

I too am looking at getting a new phone soon. My wife has the iPhone 4s and she really likes it. I do not.

A couple of my friends have the new Galaxy S4 and they recommended it to me. I've messed around with it a bit and like what I have seen.

I will definitely be going with the Galaxy.

My $0.02.

Galaxy S4. I own one and love it. It should also be cheaper for you if you're t-mobile

Galaxy S4. I switched from an iPhone 4 a month ago and have no regrets whatsoever.

Both are extremely good phones, but the iPhone 5S will cost you more. It largely depends whether you prefer iOS or Android though.

I hated the S4, I got the iPhone 4S super cheap a few months back and I love it.

EDIT: Also, at the university I'm at, non-iPhones are extremely rare, I've seen maybe 2 Android phones here so far. Every-time I scroll through my text messages now it's all iMessages.

I personally like 4s because of the size of the screen! If you watch a lot of videos on your phone I would suggest 4s but if you like simplicity (which isn't necessarily a bad thing!) then you should go with iPhone 5s

I have an S4 and it's pretty good, though it has some issues. The biggest problem is that anything that's moving and is the color black leaves huge streaks behind it. The screen is high fidelity, but it's not exactly quality.

Galaxy. Unless you absolutely must have the iFruit app. And then, still Galaxy, because what the fuck would you buy a PHONE for one app for?

Also, yes, Nokia is extremely durable, but it's not exactly the most up to date.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

I like both the Iphone and the S4. There are a lot of people that hate on it, but the interface for Ios7 is incredibly smooth and absurdly easy to use. The samsung is more powerful, more space, etc. but the operating system on it is no where near as intuitive in my opinion as an owner of a previous iphone and the current s4. It's all based on preference really. If you want the more powerful phone, go with the samsung, if you want the more intuitive one (or if you are a mac user and want contacts, etc. to sync through icloud) go with the Iphone.
User was warned for too many mimes.

I have no loyalty to any brand whatsoever. I'm loyal to one thing: ME. Whichever company makes ME happy is my choice so I decided to try both an Android device and an iPhone and I gotta say I fucking hated Android.

I want a phone, not a device with a billion options and tons of customization bullshit that I'll never use. Also the app store is absolute shit on android, it is RIDDLED with trash apps. You'll have to download and sift through 10 shitty apps before you get the one you're actually looking for.

I realize that complaining about too many options and too much customization is something unique to me, so take that as you will. For me iOS is much simpler and efficient to use, and the app store has a higher good app to trash ratio, but that might not be what you're looking for, which is fine. Both phones are made well and work fine. The real question is which OS you want to use.

True, the freedom of customization may be overwhelming to an iphone user, but you don't have to do much past the initial setup. The default settings are sufficient for basic usage.

As for the apps, that's what the user reviews are for. You don't need to sift through shit apps if you do some basic research. And the apple app store has its fair share of shit apps.
The native android apps are much better than the ios ones imo. Sure the UI might look better on iOS, but I've found very few bugs with native android apps and they're much faster overall.

s4. The customization is worth it imo. iphone is fine but the resolution is just horrible(in comparison) on the new ones.

iphone is simple. I don't really tinker with my phone, just simple stuff (not even games)

I don't have an iphone. I was considering between the two also but I think I'm gonna go for Galaxy or a cheaper up-to-date android so I can browse without lag and use it as a music player. (don't want to use iTunes. is all.)

I had both an iphone and galaxy, and I found the galaxy to be just better overall. The only good thing about the iphone was that it was smaller, and easier to carry around in my pocket.
