Why not both?

Seriously though, I don't need much from android, but a jailbroken iPhone is a must for me, I use a lot of tweaks and apps that's not yet available on android, but device wise, S3 is a really awesome phone, sharp screen, high resolution, Apple must really do it with "their new iPhone" since most people I know either switched to S3 or considering switching to it, after all it is a great device and value for money.

I don't understand why every single phone must be compared to iPhone. I'd take a Nokia 5110 over an iPhone any day.

I'm will buy the iPhone 5 when it is available because:
- it is an iPhone
- it is the best device
- Apple is the best company
- iPhone is more expensive than other devices so it has to be better
- Everyone has an iPhone
- All the Actors, Actresses and Entertainers have an iPhone
- the iPhone is heavy and built strong
- it has a lot of apps
- people wait on long lines for the iPhone so it has to be the best phone or people wouldn't wait on the long lines
- the iPhone is indestructible
- I want to support Steve Jobs.
- it has the Apple logo which looks cool, and people known that I am Hip
- having one shows I don't follow the crowds, and am able to make my own decisions.
- the iPhone has basically remained unchanged for years, so it must be the best device, as other manufactures keep changing their devices because they are subpar.
- it doesn't have a removable battery or SD card because it adds weight and it's better not to have them. It makes the iPhone more indestructible,
- when Apple decides it is in the best interest of their customers to do so, Apple will make changes to the iPhone.

If I think of any more Great reasons to own the iPhone. especially the Great iPhone 5, I'll be sure to post them.
I hope the above reasons haven explained why the iPhone is the Best, and helps others to make their decisions based on these Facts.
Thank you.

UPDATE:
- I know people who have told me that they have accidentally went swimming with the iPhone in both the Pool and the Ocean. The iPhone continued to work without consequence. This means the iPhone is also Waterproof. Apple doesn't say this because of Liability reasons, But this is just Another reason to buy the iPhone. UNBELIEVABLE!!

I coudn't resist ;)

Oh my glob. I don't wanna live in this planet anymore. You're so stupid just reading your post makes me want to cry. Lol

the resale value of iphone is cause by supply and demand by iphone fans and of course blind followers who are willing to pay high price for a phone with cheap internal parts , monkey see monkey do

The iphone is worth a lot of money because it is the best phone. An apple product cost more because people wait on long lines for days in the rain for one, so that they may buy the first phones because they are rare and collectible.

Samsung the only issue is firmware update are too slow, but for rooting, is easy...
this also meaning, Samsung phone has no security function..
even you lock SIM, PHONE, and a lot a lot setting.. went into recovery mode.. everything can be deleted..
and brand new phone for the thief...

Iphone... good security... hard to JB (depend on version) but troublesome...
user frenly.. but not developer frenly..

anyway... smart phone without JB or ROOT, considered as idiot phone...

The problem with the next iPhone is that you'd already be tired of it before even buying it, since there are only minor differences between the previous model.

I can't believe the amount of people who actually recommend rooting when for sure without root any android device is much more capable than an iPhone. My mom's Motorola flipout can do more! Sure the camera isn't as good but she has based on her location the Wi-Fi turns itself on or off, from my phone I can see where she is if she needs help. Notifications are superior on android by far. Ios is a lame copy. I have my pictures and music synced every night over OTA with dropbox sugarsync etc. It's fantastic the things you can do without root over ios. That's all I have to say.

    Update #2:
    - The iPhone 4s has been used by Astronauts to make phone calls and texts from the I.S.S.
    Some of Astronauts have even been able to use Apps from the International Space Station.
    They have even used Apple's GPS system to guide the Shuttle back to Planet Earth when the native system failed.
    Simple Amazing!
    Imagine what the iPhone 5 will be able to contribute to society!!
    The iPhone....... Truly a Smartphone Above & Beyond the boundaries of Planet Earth!!
    Now throw those Androids away, and pick up the iPhone 5 when it's made available!!

    I coudn't resist ;)

    No offense.

    You buy a phone based on the resale value? Not because of usability and your own liking? :eek:

    I also think that Tom Cruise and John Travolta both own and use the iPhone religiously. Two other heroes of mine, in addition to Steve Jobs, the Freedom Hero of Cellular devices, who encourages Developers to Utilize the Open Source iPhones, of which there is no equal. The 2 Scientologists, whom exude Freedom of Personal Expression to its Upmost.
    Long live the iPhone, and Famous People who use them. The Best thing about the iPhone??
    It has Apps!!

    And Remember the following:
    Resistance IS Futile.
    You WILL be Assimilated.
    I am Apple,
    You are Apple.
    We will ALL be Apple.
