Which do you vote for getting?

Iphone. It's all about personal preference though. See which OS you like better/feel more comfortable with.

I predict that the vote will be roughly 50/50 and both sides will think the other is full of (bleep).

I used Iphones for a good 4-5 years. Then swapped over to Android to see what the fuss was all about. Spent two years with an Android phone. I'm now back on iOS and it's so buttery smooth. Everything is easy to use and just works. I'm never touching another Android phone.

Die hard Android folks keep talking about specs. But the irony is that these same people should know better that specs isn't the whole story. It's about how the hardware interfaces with the software.

Depends on what you want. Apple has better software but the Android phones have better hardware.

I used Android for a few years. Now I'm using an iPhone for 6 months or so and I'm in love. I find the iOS so much easier and clean.

iPhone for the stability of the OS that I need in a phone. Android tablet for the flexibility that iOS fails to deliver on. They make it a painful to manage content outside of that turd of a media manager that they call iTunes.

It all depends on you and how you plan to use your phone. If you're the type that doesn't like to tinker or customize, then get an iPhone. It's probably the better out-of-box experience. That's not a criticism against users who don't want to tinker. I know plenty of technical people who just don't want to spend time messing with their phones. I'm the same way with my PC.

I have a Note tablet and there's a bit of learning curve to use the S Pen. It's kind of weird not having much feedback between the writing surface and the stylus if you've never used a digitzer.

Switched over to Android almost two years and I don't see myself ever going back to Apple. You just get used to things like on-screen widgets, notifications, and Google Cards.

Gotta love the phone wars. Still not quite as fun as the console wars.

I've had every iPhone up until now. Won't get the 6, it's just too big and there isn't enough good features to justify upgrading IMO

Will stick to 5S, it's a reasonable size and still a good phone, don't want a giant phone.

I want the world to see my private pics, so, I'm going with iPhone 6.

On a serious note, after having the iPhone 5, I'm ready for a big boy phone. Note 4 it most likely is.

I thinks it's a myth now that Apple has better software, I have Ipad Mini Retina with IOS 8 and the experience is no better that Android 4.4 IMO, I don't find it any more stable or usable. And people keep mentioning how great the IOS app store is, yet they didn't have any alternate keyboards until this latest update. IOS is stagnating.

I've been an android user since smart phones were popular. I'm heavily leaning towards an iPhone 6+.

I currently have an htc One m7 and love it. The only flaw is 90% of my friends have iPhones. And the incessant group messages they send through iMessage are driving me crazy!!

I just want to give in get iPhone 6 and be done with it. Someone help me

Things I like about Iphones:
I don't need an advanced task killer, once you close an app it doesn't keep opening or running in the back ground.

Things I like about Android: Everything else. Have a Samsung S5 and an couldn't be happier.

I like the features on Androids but I still think that iPhones will serve you better if you plan on keeping your phone for 2+ years.

This is entirely anecdotal, but my Galaxy S died after about 10 months and the two (yes two) Galaxy S's I replaced it with under warranty crapped out as well.

On the Apple side, my iPhone 4S is still working so well I don't even know if I want to blow my upgrade on something until it breaks. And that's AFTER I dropped it in a river and dried it out in a bag of rice.

Of course, I know that Android has come a long way since the Galaxy S (I have a Nexus 7 so I am aware of pretty much all of its facets).

At the basic level, after using both OSs for years...

iPhones = great performance, little to no customization
Android = good/average performance, major customization

Leaning Note 4 now. The possible bending of the 6+ concerns me.
