Not really. It's like medium-tech shit at best.

My first iPhone was the iPhone 5 and I still have it. I'm planning on keeping it until it breaks. I'm curious to see how long it will last. It has lasted more than two years so far, and it's still going strong. To be honest, I've never had any other cell phone last this long without any damage or decreased performance. I'm impressed with the iPhone 5, and may get another when this one dies. Until then, I'm going to enjoy contract-free, unlimited talk, text, and data (special offer because I'm not upgrading). I hate two year contracts.
I've had a terrible experience with android :/
I'll not buy iPhone 6 since my 5s is almost brand new, but I will buy iWatch for sure!
Edit: What do you guys think 6s features will be?
Except it doesn't, it may be trendy, but it doesn't symbolize wealth, there's homeless people that have iPhones.
There are three reasons people buy Apple products, and of course once you have one Apple product, you need to have all Apple products to fully enjoy any experience. I consider that a reason to get Android, not a reason to keep buying Apple shit.
1) because it's simple (Android is arguably just as simple depending on the manufacturer)
2) because everyone else does it. (trendy)
3) for work (want to develop for the iPhone? better have a damn Mac)
The problem with Android is it gets grouped together with lower-end phones as well.
If you buy a $50 Android phone, it's most likely going to be a shitty experience, you can't compare that to an iPhone or S3 or HTC One, etc.
Since the price of an iPhone6 varies between €700 and €1000 depending on the type, without a contract, I think I might switch to a samsung galaxy s5 instead. I'd prefer an iphone but this is simply overpriced compared to other phones IMO.
I perfer Android. I still like Apple for giving Android phones a little competition. Competition benefits end-users greately... Just look on CPU's for gaming now vs a few years ago before AMD gave up and focused on low power and other customers. ATM i got a old Nokia from pre 2000 and cant even recieve MMS tough. Had it a few months and dont really miss the "smartphone" things yet. Plan is to get Sony Z3 when it is released and whenit gets an OK price
