iOS? I've converted to Android. Still use my iPhone like an iPod at times though. Maybe I'll give iOS7 a try. What's the big hype about anyway?

I have had the same $20 phone for the past 5 years. Sry that I couldn't give advice.

I currently have both an iPhone5 (work) and a Galaxy S3 (personal).

I updated to iOS7 - I was underimpressed by a lot. They finally got around to making the interface more like... well... Android. They put features into iOS7 that Android has had for well over a year now (almost 2!). Needless to say, I was hugely let down. There is literally no real innovation in iOS7, they were just 'catching up' to where Android was a year ago. The new Android is almost out (if not out now, I'm not sure); so why they made iOS7 so under-whelming is surprising to me.

I prefer Android because it's far more intuitive and user friendly on almost every level - and important things (to me) like VPN and hot-spot are very simple to get to (2-3 taps on the screen) - on the iPhone I have to search for specific apps to help the phone do what I need it to and it can be less that intuitive. Even after 3 months, I'm still finding things about the phone that make me go "ohhhhhh, that is how you do that?", because it's just not as easy/uncomplicated as Android.

So when iOS7 was more like Android - at first I was excited, then I realized that was almost all it was - more like Android. Nothing that really set it apart or made it any better than Android - just a lot of features that tried to make it more like the current (aging) Android. I was hugely let down.

I was also hugely let down by the 5s release - the list of 'new' or 'innovative' features on that phone is almost non-existant and outdone by the latest Android phones that have been on the market already.

iPhones are a dying thing IMO, and the latest iOS kind of proves that - they're doing their best to keep up, but only that - just keeping up, not innovating.
