I use every single one of the features I mentioned and they are dead useful.
Is that your post on Facebook? (Can't check). What is meaningful to you is not necessarily for others.
Here goes:
"My GS4 is not rooted.
SO I WILL RESPOND ABOUT A NON-JAILBROKEN IPHONE. SORRY FOR THE CAPS, I CAN'T BOLD MY RESPONSES.
-Can you use your phone as a free wifi hotspot?
NICE FEATURE. THOUGH IIRC IT DEPENDS ON YOUR CARRIER. COSTS MONEY TO BUY APP.
-Can you swap out the battery on your phone with ease so that even when you are traveling you don't need to worry about losing juice? And I'm talking about bulking it up with something that won't fit in your pocket or case.
GREAT FEATURE
-Along the same vein my phone never has to be tethered to the wall thanks to a dedicated battery charger.
MOST PEOPLE PROBABLY DON'T USE/CARE FOR THIS
-Does your phone notify you when your orders from any website ship and when they'll get to you?
YES. IT'S CALLED AN APP.
-Can you use your phone easily when wearing gloves.
NO. BUT I DON'T LIVE IN CLEVELAND
-Does your phone automatically notify you of the current traffic time to any place you have searched for on your phone or computer? And how long it will take you to get back home?
PERSONALLY, I WISH I COULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO TURN THIS FEATURE OFF IN GOOGLE NOW. EVEN WHEN I'M FIVE MINUTES AWAY FROM MY HOME IT'S POPPING UP NOTIFICATIONS. IT DEFINITELY DOES NOT READ MY MIND.
-Android's Google Now versions knows what you want before you ask it.
OOPS, JUST ANSWERED THAT IN MY LAST ANSWER. NOW TRIES TO BE GODLY BY PREDICTING WHAT YOU WANT, BUT IT DOESN'T GIVE YOU ANY CONFIGURATION SETTINGS TO HELP MAKE IT A LOT MORE USEFUL AND A LOT LESS ANNOYING.
-Does your phone screen turn off while you're reading something. The GS4 knows when you're actively looking and won't turn the screen off.
GOOD FEATURE, IF IT CAN WORKS AS ADVERTISED. FOR EXAMPLE, SMART PAUSE NEVER WORKED FOR ME.
-Can your phone control your TV, DVD, and DVR? The GS4 will learn what things you like to watch, suggest things to record, and more.
DON'T HAVE TV. IF I DID I WOULD PROBABLY USE THE REGULAR REMOTE ANYWAYS. GIZMODO SAYS IT DOESN'T WORK WELL.
-Does your phone have a pedometer built in?
IT HAS APPS THAT ESSENTIALLY DO THE SAME.
-Does your phone's screen rotate when you lie on a bed or couch? The GS4 tracks your eyes so it knows which way to display.
DECENT FEATURE, AGAIN, IF IT WORKS.
-Can you edit photos on your phone better than you can with most computer programs?
YES, I HAVE A DOZEN APPS THAT DO PRETTY SLICK PHOTO EDITING. AND I ALSO HAVE IMOVIE AND GARAGE BAND.
-Can you do burst shots to take a stream of photos that is sure to capture the very best image?
YES. AND MY CAMERA TAKES BETTER PICTURES.
-Can you swype to type without ever lifting a finger? Or use other awesome 3rd party keyboards?
GREAT FEATURE
-Can you do a split screen to easily use 2 apps simultaneously thanks to the large 5" screen?
NICE FEATURE. I CAN'T DO THAT, BUT I DON'T WANT A 5 INCH SCREEN ANYWAYS.
-Does your phone have a stunning 1080p screen that is a pleasure to watch things on?
MY SCREEN QUALITY IS ALSO AMAZING. I DON'T HAVE 1080P BECAUSE MY SCREEN ISN'T THAT LARGE. NOR WOULD I USE ANY PHONE TO WATCH VIDEOS (LIKE MOVIES). THE MINIMUM FOR ME IS A 10 INCH SCREEN. I'D RATHER WATCH ON A LAPTOP OR DESKTOP.
-Are all of Google's awesome services (Gmail, Maps, Translator, Calendar, etc.) seamlessly integrated?
YES THEY ARE. IT MIGHT HAVE REQUIRED AN EXTRA 5 SECONDS TO SET UP THE FIRST TIME I BOUGHT THE PHONE.
-Do you have an SD slot for cheap extra storage and the ability to store apps on the SD card as well as backup files to SD? Do you even have a file manager?
GREAT FEATURES
-Do you have to convert video files in order to get them to work?
WOULDN'T USE IT FOR THAT ANYWAYS.
-Can you share contact info or files with another phones by just touching their backs together?
YES. IT'S CALLED BUMP. I WOULDN'T USE IT ANYWAYS.
Can you look at a picture and instantly drop it onto Dropbox, Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, Gmail with just one touch?
ALL IN ONE TOUCH BESIDES DROPBOX AND WHATSAPP. I WOULDN'T USE IT FOR DROPBOX.
-Android widgets. 'Nuff said.
GOOD FEATURE. PROCESSOR AND BATTERY HOGGING SO I DON'T USE MORE THAN TWO ON ANDROID.
The S4 does that and a whole lot more...
AND THE IPHONE HAS ITS OWN SET OF BENEFITS.
What does iPhone do better? Sure it's "simpler" but anything without all those features will be simpler. With 2 weeks practice you'll never look back...
LOOKING BACK AFTER LONGER THAN TWO WEEKS.
