Is classy, and since im liberal, and apple is, it is even cooler to me. People at school say apple is a hippy computer and, they are right in some respects. I just like that apple openly supports gay marriage. Even though i just turned 15, i really think this is a good thing. I wont say more lol. Just my views. No offence if you think diferent.
Because no matter what android phone the person bragging has, when you have them go to a web page with a white background, and you do too with your iPhone, and both turn brightness to max, the iPhone always has a whiter white that just makes the android look yellow or green...
I just love doing that.

I pretty sure you're referring to the AMOLED/ S AMOLED that many android phones mostly Samsung Galaxies have. I've always been appalled by the inaccurate colors, and cool blue tint to the whites, especially from an off angle. But many android phones use ips lcd panels similar to IPhones that are just as bright and white or even better. And my Galaxy S4 I recently bought to replace my IPhone 5 actually has an amazing display.
For me its mostly the tight integration of all Apple Products (a la ecosystem)
iMessage - I send/receive almost 200 a day and the ease of just picking whatever device I have and continuing is awesome
Facetime - Moved all my family members abroad to Apple and getting them to ditch Skype ... just the other day I was talking to my daughter from Office and she said she wanted to see where I sit... no stupid opening any app or login, I quickly tapped Facetime and voila we were good to go
Photostream - (Even better with iOS7 now because of Shared Streams) - Best way to share photos amongst Apple devices ... I share a Stream with my wifey and quickly upload good moments from daily life ... instant notification and viewing
Camera - I still find it to be the best point and shoot out there with single hand use
Size - Its just about right, even though I can do with another 0.5 inch as I have long fingers
Style Appeal - The only phone I believe to match the style is the HTC One and thats Android, so will leave it at that
Price Factor - In Singapore, I purchase iPhone outright and even now almost at brink of 5S launch can still get back 70% of the cost back on sale. No other phone does that here
...
time to rest .. will add more when it comes to my mind

Are you kidding me? I have a bunch of friends using S3 and by far, their biggest complaint is its battery life.
iPhone's battery may not be the best but it definitely outlasts S3's.
One of the main factors for me, that is often taken for granted is the ease of syncing with a Computer (Both Windows and Mac). You can sync calendar, contacts, tasks, music, vids, audiobooks and the reading position, etc.
Google does not make an android sync solution. There is not even an included task (to do) app on Android.
Other 3reasons:
App permissions: On iOS apps ask permission to access contacts, location, etc. On android when you install an app it automatically has all permissions it wants granted.
No carrier crap apps running on the background: People always talk about the openness and freeware nature of Android. What benefit is that for the user when a typical Android phone comes with a wave of carrier crapware and you need to root and use Titanium or other app it in order to remove it. Does not sounds very free or open to me...
Consistency of the OS: Most people are running iOS 6 on their devices and there are just a few resolutions and specs to develop for. On android every manufacturer adds its own flavor interface making the experience inconsistent among devices. Some argue this is normal from having different manufacturers, but take a look at windows. Every PC running the same version of windows has the same UI, yes it has added software but not full blown UI replacement like you see in Android.

Sike, I don't know what S3 you're talking about. Mine always gets 4 or 5 hours of on-screen time just wifi-browsing and no games. iPhone 5 constantly get 7 or 8+ hours on on-screen time on wifi. The Galaxy will also burn up about a hell of alot of battery for "Google Play Services" when I'm not even touching the thing. I've heard S4 isn't much of a different story by all the battery complaints on Android Central. Note 2 just had a bigass battery, that's only reason that one beats iPhone 5
Always on time updates on every apple handsets...u dnt have to wait that much for our ios 2 b updated...
