        AnonD-130749, 17 Oct 2013Awesome bro .. ;-)But Justin Bieber's demographics are only teenage girls while most professionals and businesses in the world prefer iOS over Android so the analogy is invalid. Apple is successful with the masses and critics alike.

          There's so much potential with Iphone but there's nothing they have released so far that's new, they lack initiative and under deliver with their products. Still Android for me :)

              By quantity it's already widely known that the iPhone 5S screen is no match to the humungous 1080p screens of Android. But going by quality, the iPhone 5S is one of the best if not the best displays out there.

              Quality >>>>>> quantity any day.

              Take for example, Sony's screen. It's large and has 1080p resolution but the contrast, viewing angles, color reproduction are terrible.

                      As the article says (and at least one comment below) Apple lags behind on everything but still the best phone by far!

                          Personally I am an Android fan and I have my many reasons for going with them. I don't particularly have an issue with Apple's products that I feel compelled to approach a random strange and interrogate them as to why they are using an iPhone. For me it's a matter of principals. As a company I cannot stand Apple nor their business practices. I hate how they haven't REALLY been innovative since the first iPhone but still re-release it under a new name and charge an unnecessarily high premium price for it. As well I always hated Steve Jobs. I'll agree he was a superior business man, but as a person he was a low life and that matters to me. As well the hardcore Apple fans irritate me to the point that I will avoid their products just for that reason. I have no problem with people buying Apple products, to each their own and someone buying an Android device doesn't put a nickel in my pocket. I've seen nations divided over things like religion, race, sexual orientation, but PHONES!!! We all have to grow up.

                            I've been reading the comments on this sections and I would like to separate fact from Fiction

                            1. To all the people pushing for apple to provide a bigger screen (mostly android users/fan boys) would you buy an iPhone if it had a 5" screen? (considering only the screen, not valid saying if screen is bigger and OS more open or thinks like that)

                            2. To the other people who have iphones (user/fan boys) would you not buy the Iphone 6 if its does not have a bigger screen?

                                        for me, iPhone's dimension(including the screen size) is an advantage.
                                        it is just the sweet-size, not too big, not too small.
                                        got a tablet and laptop for bigger and more serious task.
                                        4" screen is a choice not because Apple can't make it bigger.

                                        and for screen quality, i still like the iphone's screen for it's accurate colors and sharp, it's ppi is more than enough.
                                        AMOLEDs are great, especially for it's 0 black level, but the oversaturated colors are just too much.
