I own an iPhone and I've owned a Galaxy. The focus here is Android and iOS. Both are fantastic operating systems but I will say that Android offers much more in functionality and customization than iOS does. If you're looking for something a bit more practical for usage with a really smooth user interface then you might want the iPhone. If you're looking for Adobe flash integration which does play a huge role in a devices functionality then you might want the Galaxy. Aesthetically the iPhone is a much more attractive build than the Galaxy. I personally don't like plastic phones but this comes down to preference. Both phones excel in their own way. If you've owned an Android device already then maybe you'd be better off choosing something you're currently familiar with in the Galaxy. Then again you could try something you've never used before in the iPhone and answer your own question. Either way you'll enjoy both in different ways.

well Iphone is better and more popular than Samsung Galaxy S3

The feature of iPhone it has a bigger screen than before.

This is the feature that will make iPhone 4S owners want to upgrade. The phone now supports LTE on the three main U.S. carriers: Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T. That means much faster browsing speeds and app downloads than what people were used to with their 3G-only iPhones. The processor in the phone is also faster, which means you won't be waiting around for much.

Camera
Somehow Apple has figured out how to make the camera in its phone even better, while still keeping it so thin. The iSight camera now captures photos more quickly, has better low-light performance, and has a panorama mode.

iOS 6's Maps and Passbook
The new iPhone will ship with Apple's new iOS 6 software (it will also be available for people with older phones on Sept. 19). There are more than five features we like in Apple's new iOS 6 software, but the new Maps app is stunning. The app features turn-by-turn navigation and 3-D renditions of cities and buildings. There's also Passbook, an app that aggregates all your coupons, tickets, and boarding passes.


Some of Samsung Galaxy S3
THE
Samsung has nailed a key feature with the inclusion of the mammoth 2100mAh battery, and has managed to keep the handset weight down to 133g.
The S3 coped admirably with the enormous demands placed on it by the Super AMOLED HD display and quad core processor. We had high expectations that the handset would be the first smartphone to break the 12-hour barrier in our real-world usage test, and it did not disappoint.

During the test, corporate email, Gmail and Twitter accounts were set to push content throughout the day and we also carried out a range of tasks including web browsing and watching a 40 minute video. Brightness was cranked up to the maximum level, Wi-Fi remained off and battery saver was turned off.

The S3 powered through the entire 12 hour day and still had 27 per cent of the battery remaining. The screen was responsible for 52 per cent of the battery drain, mobile standby took up 19 per cent, voice calls 9 per cent and the Android OS 7 per cent.

With the ability to turn on a multitude of power saving options, it is possible to strength the battery life well beyond the 12 hour mark.
