There's a lot one can do, but it takes a full understanding of the Android OS to optimize it to each users workflow. How and when apps update, sync, and by switching to the ART environment. While it's still very new and not finished, there's the opportunity to use different libraries. It's not something a regular user would attempt but it's a developers dream.
Got a tip for us?

Haha
The BT with go "off" once it is disconnected from the car. The battery shouldn't be an issue.
Not in my experience? Having BT on has made the difference between having a dead battery after work, and not.
I have a 32gb 5...and for the first time EVER, I was not compelled to upgrade to the 5s. Another first time deal is my lack of excitement over an iPhone 6 that's simply a stretched 5, with only enough horsepower gain to call it a new iPhone.
If the screen is much bigger, the body is a svelte nod to the iPad Air...and there are some real improve ya in the speed of overall operation...I may be an upgrader to the iPhone 6. If there is no immediate "OMG!!!" to the 6...I'll stay a very satisfied 5 user.

I'll be getting the 6 only because by the time I get it, my two year contract will end. I'm coming from an iPhone 5. I don't need to get the newest phone every single year.
IPhone 5.
Significant camera upgrade is all that will lure me. I went from iPhone 4 to 5 for
1. camera
2. Home button was getting iffy
3. LTE
Less the LTE as ATT 3g at the time was giving me a solid 3-5mbps which is plenty for mobile.
Its my main camera when traveling, I know, sad. But its convenient and certainly not bulky. When the light is perfect, i get some absolutely fantastic print quality *****, when the light is less... I say **** it and move on. I have an old Rebel from college days that is far superior, and would love a Full frame 5D or 6D. Can afford a 5D. But lugging it around on my neck with a couple lens in a man bag. I cant bring myself to it.
Damn. I mean, glad to hear it and all, but damn.
Some might say that its negligible, and I'd agree. But I work 12+ hour shifts, with no access to a charger. A lot of the user experience in these dvices is so user specific, that it has to be difficult to quantify statistics at apples level.
Not everyone, or even a good majority (in my experience), support a functionality like tech tiles. For me however, it would be a daily use thing. I love the ecosystem that apple products provide, and I think it could be broadened and tightened. if that makes sense.
for the first time, I'm quite excited about the announcement of a new iPhone. I was passive in previous years, and absolutely dying to know this time around.
Using both a Note 3 and Gold 5s on a consistent basis. I like to have my foot in the door of both os's, and I'm even considering of adding a Windows phone to the mix.
If the rumors stay true, I'll likely buy the +5" iPhone 6 and whatever is the latest model android out at the time. Hopefully another oem will release something comparable to the Note 4.

Another meaningless thread. We don't even know what the new iPhone will be like. We have no announced product, nor have we had any leaked shots. How can we know if we want to get the new iPhone?
i really had no desire to go from the 5 to the 5s but ended up having to switch carriers so i had to. darn!
Ha ha. Darn! I went from a 5 to a 5S with the same carrier. I really had no reason other than I wanted it.
iPhone 5. I might get the 6 or I might keep this if all is well in September. Since my new photography hobby is proving expensive I might have to skip this upgrade. Kind of depends on the features etc.

Yes but also cheaper ones!
