    Apple for me. Had a 3GS then decided to try Android with a Galaxy 2. Never again. Galaxy broke, got a replacement, that broke as well. Had Apple ever since, including iPad, and ultimately reliable. Never had an issue. Plus they are so beautifully designed and made.

    Too expensive though!

    I use iPad and iPhone and that's where it stops for me. The interface suits me perfectly in the mobile arena, but I'd need to spend several grand on a Mac to do what my PCs do at work and that's an awful lot of money for the emperor's wardrobe in my opinion.

    That's one difference I've seen between iPhones and Galaxy phones, the photo quality on the S6 is amazing. Better than my 6Plus IMO.

    I got both, but I think that Apple is the better choice.

    Ordered the new Nexus 6p today. Had my nexus 5 for about 2 years now, did get a Lumia 930 as I fancied a go at windows phone, but Nokia built quality isn't what it was and it is being shipped back for a refund over the weekend.

    I'm just a technological piece of toast.

    I use an iPhone because it's easy. I use an iPad because it's easy. I keep a slap top thing for very imporatnt things but rarely use it.

    Not wishing to confuse the issue, but two days ago I got a Sony Xperia Z3 compact, (hate big phones, don't get why anyone would want to carry one of those around?).

    It is better than the Samsung in pretty much every way :)

    Nytol raises a good point. Who's got the best spec aside, the thing has to live in your pocket.

    Galaxy s6 for me. Had iPhones for years and don't think I'll be going back. Far more capable tool out of the box.

    There isn't any other way to be an Apple customer is there? You have to buy ALL of their stuff, because they refuse to make it work with anything else. All this "it just works" stuff is fine - as long as you have a Mac, Macbook, Apple TV, Apple Watch, iPad etc. Feck it - even your pencil has to be a Apple Pencil now! :eek:

    Overpriced and overhyped in my opinion. They stopped innovating after the iPhone 4, ever since then - they've been playing catchup. Android has had a lot of the feature in IOS8/9 for some time and only Apple Fanboys would believe that they've just invented the "tablet & keyboard for productivity" combo - the MS Surface has been out for over 3 years! Even this "force touch" stuff that the new iPhones/iPads have is basically right-click :D

    Undeniably good at marketing their stuff tho - they must be! :)

    And yes - I have owned many iPhones and I use an iPad at work....
