Amazing phone if your looking for a sturdy phone that is capable of doing of everything you want. The iphone is always the safe choice. But honestly the restriction in the UI tend get boring. The UI is amazingly fast and the performance is stellar. Camera is the best ive seen on a smartphone. Battery life was enough anbd after 5.1 update is even better. I dont own a mac, but i do own an ipad and the ecosystem is pretty great.

This being said a few months after buying this phone i regretted not getting the galaxy nexus. I realised that i am an android person. I want the ability of customizing and changing everything on my phone. I guess that's more of a personal choice. So if you are a nerd who likes to mess around with gadgets and experiment and modify what you want on your phone. Id go for the galaxy nexus

Cheers :)
