Iphone or Galaxy | The Mother of First World Problems

There comes a time, at the end of your cellphone contract. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The light which you've been anticipating for two straight years. The moment where you can finally hop back onto the speedy road of current technology. With rivals Apple and Android releasing new devices as quick and easy as changing your socks, it's hard to keep up. As soon as one purchases a new phone, it's already out of date. 


So what do you do? 


There isn't anything you can do that's practical. What you could do is ditch the phone you have at the time and buy a new one as they are released. But that's obviously a no no. Unless you have money to clean your floors with, do the sensible thing and wait. 

My cellphone contract is seeing its dying days. That's all good and well but what cellphone do I want? The sleek, smug and brand offered by apple in its deliciously irresistible Iphone 5 or the techno-jam-packed-all-in-one Samsung Galaxy S4? It's hard not to be able to distinguish this issues' high place on the feudal system of first world problems.

But why should the Iphone and Galaxy be one's only option? There's a whole world out there of spectacular cellular devices to choose from. I sit and contemplate as to why these are my only two options. I think about what they offer and why the world raves so much about them. I begin to understand why and secure my decision. It's as if ones decision is either black or white. I decide to choose between one of those popular choices. 

I am one who enjoys to observe and participate in the race for technological supremacy, it benefits us consumers greatly. However it is a tad too fast for most to keep up. Does it really give people enough time to settle down with their electronic devices' current versions and to get used to them? No really. But this race isn't ever going to slow down, only speed up. 

Back to this problem. Which device should one choose? It entirely depends on the person. For me, I see joy in both, which makes the decision even harder. One's choice has to be secure enough in order to endure the cellular device for two years before allowing a new one to enter your life. When I see the Iphone I see all the experiences which I will enjoy along with it, using Instagram and all its lovely additions to my advantage. I do also prefer its smaller size to the S4 however the S4 is also pretty magnificent. It's a super-phone, offering one everything. Before the release of IOS 7, Android was way more up-to-date in its operating system than Apple, allowing my decision to lean more towards Android. But now, everything has been turned upside-down.      

I have wanted an Iphone for much longer and feel that if I abandon that lust I will feel as if I will miss out on its fantastic features and opportunities. That being said, I have never endured Android to the extent of owning a device which runs on it. Point to Apple. 

The Iphone is looking better and better. It will probably be my next phone. Although anything can happen. The S4 is still looking pretty good. It still stares at me, as if to call me over. However the Iphone does too. Ah the decisions one has to make. Although I think the Iphone will find its way to my heart eventually. 

That being said, what color does one get? How about a phone cover? 

Oh dear.
