    Wow thanks everyone :)) I am tempted to go for the iphone mainly cause I am taking my mom's IPad for University so it would just make things easier in terms of synchronization. Also the iphone LOOKS (physically) more attractive than the androids in my opinion.

    I too am partial to just having a nice looking pgone lol The only Galaxy's were ugly in my eyes because it had two touch buttons on the bottom with one physical button. Just a weird design there.

    Android. I recommend the HTC One but Galaxy is solid choice as well.

    I did the whole Apple thing for a while. Had the iPad and iPhone. I felt so trendy and cool for a while. Yes, the UI is very simple and streamlined, but I got tired of being stuck in the Apple box (iTunes, iMessages, iCloud, etc.). Also, iMessages really pissed me off with lost messages and Apple's attitude that it was not their fault.

    Android gives you WAY more flexibility. Yes, it can be a pain at first, but once you learn the ins and outs, you can really make it your own and unleash the real power or smartphones.

    iMessage lose is just a limitation of there software and issue with imessage handshaking with normal messages. You can turn it off all together if you don't like it that much.

    Android offers a sweet of fancy bells and whistles but rarely do they work perfectly all the time, every time.

    You can do everything you need on an iphone as you can on android. Everything legal that is.

    Yeah I've had my android for 2 years and I do love it. Just am leaning towards more of a change I guess. Plus I'm not very tech savvy so connecting my android to a computer or trying to find or add files was more frustrating than it should have been. Need simplicity!!

    I felt the same way with syncing Music, Android takes for ever and you have to police the entire thing. iPhone is plug in and run! plus Apple Music is a god send these days. 10 bucks unlimited music a month

    Iphone because:
    - it allows you to set app permissions on a granular level instead of Androids dumb all-or-nothing system.
    - my car can control the music player on it but not on Android phones.
    - carriers are not allowed to install bloatware and garbageware on iPhones.
    -I can download an IOS update as soon as Apple releases it and not have to guess if my carrier or phone manufacturer will allow it.

    Things I really dislike about the iPhone:
    -every browser has to be build upon webkit, or whatever it is Safari uses.
    -the UI and usability has gone downhill since IOS8. I really dislike the flat icons, using text as buttons, and let's make everything grey.

    The specs of the S6 blow the Iphone out of the water... just saying. Other than that, it's up to you, what you want, and what you'll use it for.

    My DW just upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy 6 and it's really cool. Lots of really cool features like if you forgot where you parked your car, you can use Google Now to locate it along with a lot of other personal stuff.

    Apple Music is on Android and Windows phone now, which is awesome might I add. iTunes works very well on windows os and I haven't found a single thing besides iMessage that would worth having that isn't already.

    Dropbox, MS Word and Excel, Onedrive, ITunes, everything works flawlessly between different people.

    I love my iPhone. I had an android but didn't like how messy it felt all the time. I love how sleek the iphones are and now Apple Music.
