IPhone 5 or Galaxy S3?

[Elizabeth C]

I have the Galaxy S3, my son has the iPhone, heck, everyone has the iPhone! We are on Verizon service, which may make a difference in quality of service.

Screen freezes/slow speed…
never on the Samsung. Mine is fast and flawless. Faster and more reliable than my son's iPhone by far. My other son has the new Droid M and it also works perfectly.
The iPhone 5 still doesn't offer the 4G speed of the Android based phones.

Apps…
If you like games and other entertainment, then the Galaxy is NOT for you.
The largest selection of good, free Apps are Apple for iPhone/iPod Touch. The GS3 does everything, no Apps are needed to run the device, music, etc.

Your questions seem backwards. Samsung, (all androids), have limited Apps. IPhone has a rep for dropping calls and freezing while downloading games or video.

If you want a serious phone and are techie enough to learn how to use it - GS3

If you want easy, turn-key, games, social media, basically a very pricey toy - iPhone

Hope that helps you choose.
