I work for Verizon Wireless. I have had plenty of exposure to both of these. All you guys that say Android has too many problems just haven't owned enough Apple products. Every phone has issues I don't care who makes it. Android isn't perfect and neither is Apple. To those of you who say Android copies the iphone, what about SIRI? What about the notification slide down screen? Both of these were just released with the iphone 4s but were both used by Android for years before. For me it comes down to cost in the long run and support. I can tell you the facts. iphone insurances are twice as high. The deductible is twice as high if you have to use it. If you are having an issue with Android and bring it in a Verizon store I can fix it. If you bring an iphone in the store you may get some help but not much can be done. Apple doesn't like anyone messing with their products so nobody except for an Apple employee is supposed to touch it. Thats why the totally encased the iphone so you can't remove the battery, can't remove storage such as an sd card. Plus if you go to Apple they are going to charge you to fix it. And i like free stuff. Apple and Android have about the same amount of total apps, but Android has over twice as many free apps. GPS for instance is free with Android. Same app requires a $50 purchase with the iphone. You can't get free music with an iphone. I have about $2000 worth of music on my Android if I would have bought it through itunes but it was all free. No removable battery and storage is a biggie for me as well. A simulated battery pull by pushing the home button and power button simutaneously is not the same as an actual battery pull. Last but not least most people out there believe that because it's called an iphone 4 means it is ran on a 4G network. That's not true. Apple has no plans for a 4G product til at least the iphone 6. 4G is 10 times as fast as 3G. You can download a song in as little as 4 seconds on 4G. No more buffering when streaming video. 4G is just better. I'm done with my book now. Android all the way.
