    Like what? I keep asking and you arent providing
    I have answered all of your 'missing' features so far?
    So we can agree not all Android handsets are equal
    So given you have one current Iphone(well 2 given its the half money milking model)
    we can compare it straight with the HTC One if you like
    Not your budget phone

    Exactly, so to make the decision easy on the basis of knowing exactly what you get, the 5S is the phone to get.

    Oh well.Looks like you cant do a straight discussion

    Just pulling people up when they're incorrect; it's a real PITA when people spread misinformation on the internet leaving it to people like me to keep correcting it.

    Exactly; Android relies on out of date concepts such as file managers and explorers. That's why I said you need to get the 'out of date' comparison the right way around before you make it!

    Eh ? Whats out of date about file explorer - some of us idiots need to do things with documents, files and real life things - not just look at that shiny little thing called iphone and pay for useless apps which do nothing.

    Try using an Android phone or even windows one - windows one I have not used but I would imagine they both do much the same sort of things unlike the IOS which is designed to for people who like out of date junk.

    Well they gain iOS which is much nicer OS. That's worth a good chunk of money right there.

    Well I seem to be doing the same with you and your benchmark budget phone

    I've got, tested and used all of the above :). The iPhone is definitely the best of the lot, and that's primarily because iOS is the best mobile OS out there. Hence the OP should get the 5S. Simples.

    The Moto G is nigh on stock Android; I believe you're talking about a phone with a skin that isn't Android. Like I said, keeping people right with the misinformation.
