Galaxy Note3 or Iphone5s?

In response to James C, please don't get on here just to make the iPhone look bad, both phones have their strengths and weaknesses. The iPhone has a smaller screen and a larger price, however it has a 64 bit processor as opposed to the 32 bit of androids, although if you wait a year I bet they'll come out with a better one. The android market is much more open source, which means you can find some apps on there that apple would never allow (such as emulators) however this also means that you can get viruses on android. It's all a matter of whether or not you're a power user. If you want to push your phone, do as much as possible, I would personally recommend the iPhone 5s, however if you're just looking for a smartphone that will work for EMail, Facebook, internet, etc. then I would recommend an android phone due to the lower price. iPhone 5s also charges faster than any android, although select android devices have somewhat superior battery life. Keep in mind though, apple has a habit of making their devices obsolete within 2 years, so if you want a phone that you won't have to replace within the next 2-3 years, go for android.
