Yeah, the fact is that Apple has by far the best OS of them all. It's just so smooth and all that. Like if you just compare iphone 5 and galaxy s4 on paper s4 looks like its 100 times better. The iphone has 1,20 GHz dual core cpu while the s4 has 1,90 GHz quad core. S4 has 13 Mp camera compared to the 8mp camera of iphone. S4 has 4g compatibility while iphone has just 3g. The s4 has way better and bigger screen while the phone is barely 1,5 cm bigger. S4 doubles the RAM of iphone and it can use a memory card.
So it would seem like S4 would be obvivously way better phone. But the difference is the OS. If Apple made a phone with S4's specs the price would most likely be over 1500e easilly. The fact is that they don't have to. Their OS is so fast and fluent that they don't need to use money in better parts. They can build the phones for 200 euros and sell them for 800 and make way more profit than Samsung or HTC can. If just Apple started making more variety of phones containing their OS and not overprice them I bet they would be the number 1 phone manufacturer wtihout a question at the moment.
But yeah, the iphone 5 is in my opinion one of the most durable phones out there atm. Compared to the old models it is really durable and can handle some crashes. I didn't want to buy any older apple products because my friends have had really bad luck with them. If they keep up the class of iphone 5 tho, I might have to consider a buy. Samsung though has earned my respect in this thing by far. I had my s2 for 2 years and it's still nearly in the same shape as when I bought it back at 2011. Obvivously I've moved on to s4 now but it's still great phone. For example I lost it back at 2012 when I was downhill skiin' and found it 2 hours later in the snow and it was still working properly which was really impressive. Not to mention the 200-300 times i've dropped it. Screen has bunch of fingerprints on it and now some dust on it but it's definetly one of my favourite phones.
TL;DR I like the OS of Iphone but the specs of android phones. I think old apple products aren't that durable but iphone 5 is clearly heading in the right direction.
