All my smart phones have been android phones until my last upgrade, I changed to the Apple 5c and DH stayed with Android and went with Galaxy S4. I switched because after 6 months the android phones always started to give me issues. I was sick of it. Now I love my iphone. I have the same apps DH has including google maps (it is better than the apple version). We've had our new phones for almost 1 year. Mine has given me no issues. DH's phone has been acting up. I would send him a text and he won't get it till hours later or never at all. He gets failed messages all the time and has to keep resending and then I get multiple messages. He likes the bigger screen and that's one reason he won't switch, now I hate the bigger screen of his phone. I am petite and I want the phone to fit in my back pocket at times, especially when I don't have a purse and I am trying to do things with my little ones. Back pocket is quick and easy and my iphone fits perfectly, his doesn't fit, I tried once when I had to borrow his when mine was on the charger. Figure out what you like in each phone and see what trumps the other.
