I switched from an original Motorola Droid (bought in 2009) to an iPhone 4s. I know I can't compare phones from two years apart, but I just haaaated the Droid. The camera was terrible, the app store was super awkward, and the whole interface was just very clunky to me. I plan on upgrading to an iPhone 5s, mainly for the familiarity, the camera, and the fingerprint sensor (no more passcodes!!)

@Shutterbug: I had a fingerprint scanner on the laptop I had 4 years ago and it never worked well at all... certainly hope Apple's one works better.

@Shutterbug: I wasn't comparing it, just saying I hope it's improved, because my laptop's one was pretty bad lol. I had an Acer.

That said, I'm a little worried about the "tap anywhere at the bottom and homescreen"! I'm concerned it would either open to anyone or need you to hold longer than a "tap" to scan your finger to actually secure your phone. We'll see how it works when it comes out.

@mrs. wagon: That's not completely accurate... hardware makes a big difference to the speed and smoothness of the interface. I think it's only really fair to compare iPhones to higher end or newer Android phones. There are a lot of crappy phones with Android installed on them.

@pui: yeah, that's what I meant! not really fair to compare an original droid with a newer iPhone.

I didn't switch, exactly, but I did go from using an iphone (that wasn't mine) to getting a samsung galaxy s2 and I much prefer androids. I like how you can set them up the best way for you and I love the back, home, and menu buttons.
