I have friends with S4s and S3s complaining about the lag that comes with their phones. Yep, they show me the awesome features of the phone but nothing beats Apple when it comes to the smoothness of the OS. The battery life is decent and gets me through the day and still have 30% even when 3G is on. I last a full day with wi-fi only and I have remaining 50-60% on my battery life. It's insane. Not better than my Blackberry but I expected the worst. I do a little games, whatsapp, text messaging, calls, browse the net and listen to music for 5-6 hours.
I know everybody has their stories but mine is great. I really want to switch to Windows Phone though. Maybe this November and I'll get an iPad. I was once an Apple hater (still occasionally with their pricing) but seriously getting myself an iPhone was probably one of the best decisions I made with technology and I am surprised.

People really need to get over the mentality that android phones lag. This isn't 2010. Android has been a very smooth experience since ICS/Project Butter, and Jelly Bean just made things that much better. If someone has a laggy phone it's not Android's fault that they have 12874238 apps all running simultaneously in the background, while having 20 widgets and a live wallpaper. My Note is a year old and it still runs incredibly smooth, without any sort of lag, while having a processor that's MUCH weaker than the S4's processor. Having used the S4 (a close friend owns one), I can tell it runs as smooth as it can possibly get (while running on a 1080p screen).
And the fact that a single android phone (there are literally millions of android phones) is almost on par with the latest iPhone (the only IOS phone) says a lot. It would be embarrassing, to say the least, if a galaxy phone outsold the iphone.
