Android, just for the sake of Google maps. And the only modern smartphone that has a decent stylus (S-Pen), accidentally, is also running Android. I often use my S-Pen to jot notes with some graphics, not leaving home without it.

Without question most iPhone users choose their devices on herd mentality. In my office, the only two people who have a clue about phones have Android devices. The other ten people know zero about technology and all buy the latest iPhone because its the only device they know and all their friends have them. Not a single one bought one because they researched which device suited their needs better. In fact I'm not sure any of them even realize there exists another type of phone.

Buying an iPhone is like choosing Duplo bricks when there is perfectly good Lego on the next shelf over.

I'd like to know which takes better quality photos especially when zooming in and it loses quality. And which one is better for taking pictures at night.
I wonder if some people just read the title of a thread then post a response without reading what the OP posted. He wanted to know which had a better camera. Not which was the better phone overall. Like the OP, I value the quality of the camera as much as anything else. That's one of the several reasons why I bought an iPhone.

What you believe of the iPhone and iPhone users is the primary reason why it's so easy for Apple to sell iPhones; you are underestimating both, the company and users. I work at a large university with a huge number of foreign students from Asia and India, and just about every one of them has an iPhone 5s. It's the same in China and a lot of places overseas.

That said, I use a cheap LG regular cell phone (not a smartphone), and have no idea if the iPhone is any better or worst than other smartphones. But one thing is certain: all cellphone makers strive to catch-up and dethrone the iPhone.

This is around the world, not only the US:
