    Which do you have? Due an upgrade soon. Currently have a Samsung S4 and it's a great phone, but thinking of switching to an iPhone as I had the S3 before this.

    That's what I think I'm going to try next. Is it a decent phone? Battery life ok? Is it as restricted as I think it'll be, in regards to being able to customise it?

    Windows phone for me. The user interface is excellent but the apps are still lagging behind.

    The xbox games are good though.

    Had a S4 myself. Upgraded to S6 in September. Good phone but battery life is shocking. Might be something to do with me falling asleep with it on charge many times but still *

    Had the S6 edge for about 2 weeks, it seems a great phone. problem is the battery life is really poor. Got mine in emerald green. Looks smart as :50:

    Android all the way.

    I never got on with my iPhones and they are just a fashion accessory for the majority.

    daily driver is a lumia/windows phone but have an iphone lying around too. I actually like all 3 operating systems a lot, they're all fully usable although as mentioned windows is lacking in apps, hopefully will be addressed with win10 for phones coming out - it will be an issue for a lot of people atm but not all. ios has the best app store and industry standard, if a little generic, interface. price point is a downside though. android is fantastic for tinkerers and basically unlimited with apps. windows has great performance on lower end devices and fresh interesting usability. also i think you can get great cameras across all 3 now.

    I just bought the moto x force and it's a beast of a phone.

    Shatterproof screen with a 4 year warranty, 3,760mAh battery or whatever it is will easily last two days without crazy use obviously

    And I think it's one of the if not the most powerful phone on the market right now.

    Camera is insane aswell

    Always had samsungs, last one being a note 2. Dropped it and the screen cracked. I was due an upgrade in a few months, fancied a change so got an Iphone 6.

    Both have good and bad points. Iphone is more reliable, but less room for customisation. Plus the lack of external memory is dung.

    Android is good for all the different ways you can make your phone look, but has some lag issues.

    Not sure what I would choose after this phone. Probably just look at whichever has the best camera tbh. As long as you can get the apps you want, the phone looks good and you can take decent pictures.

    Couldn't do without my iPhone, I dare say if you were used to Android it would be the same thing.

    It seems as if the entire World is geared up for Apple products just now.

    * I tunes use the other apps that let you download YouTube videos onto an MP3 and let's you listen even when offline. Or I use soundcloud for music

    The only grudge I have with Apple is you can't stream games on the device. Things like online movies etc you can it's a pain in the * but really couldn't see me ever changing from Apple tbh
