I have one of each, one personal and one for work, one iPhone 6 and a Galaxy S5.

After using both I still prefer my iPhone. The Galaxy has some odd quirks, outside of the one related to my job app (which sucks). It doesn't like being in airplanes, and requires a restart most of the time it goes to altitude. I also have to restart it a couple times a week when it stops receiving data. The fingerprint swipe is a multiple try operation.

The Galaxy does have a really nice camera, and I do like the ability to move files like a computer. I run one app that has a lot of settings, and it is interesting to see how open the Android architecture can be.

The iPhone just works. More reliable, and usually an easier interface.

“The iPhone just works. More reliable, and usually an easier interface.”

I agree with this, and it's usually some young person at the phone store who pushes the newest Samsung, talking about the superior computer power etc. I'm sure they're right at some level, but most people just want simplicity.

That said, I would like to know what others have experienced regarding the quality of the iPhone as a phone. My experience is that very, very frequently when I'm speaking with someone who is on an iPhone, the quality of the voice is horrible, and totally dependent upon whether or not they are speaking exactly into the microphone. There seems to be a ‘sweet spot’ for the internal microphone, and if you aren't in the that sweet spot the voices are actually garbled.
