Doesn't seem to me that they last that much longer.

Many of us stream our music nowadays via spotify, pandora etc. Pictures and documents can easily be stored via cloud services or saved to computers/hard drives. The internal storage of android systems are often taken up with bloat ware... Apple too, but if it states 16g you get a larger percent of that free on ios than the majority of androids.

I also like both, but just throwing that thought out there, not saying you are, but many people like to throught he storage claim out there without looking at all the angles.

That's why Apple only has about 20 percent of the market with Android having over 50, the rest don't have smartphones. Apple devices are overpriced and less functional than the competition. I don't know about you but personally I don't like paying more for something that does less. Don't fall for the hype, check the facts. If you buy a16 gig iphone 5 and then discover you need more storage youre simply ****ed, you can throw it away and buy a 32gig one for $850 but I can simply pop in a 32$ 64 gig card. For you to do everything with Apple that I can do with my 750$ Samsung you'd have to spend thousands and have multiple apple devices and even then you still won't be able to, haha! Not that you need to or even want to but I'm just saying. It may be adequate for your needs but saying Apple is better in any way is simply untrue.

I'm actually surprised BB was that high.

I had a few blackberrys and they were awesome in their time of glory.
