During the last six months, my friend got the privilege to use two different phones: an iPhone 4S and a Galaxy Nexus variant, one LTE and the other is HSPA+. Differences matters more on hardware (battery level, size/screen size and the appearance) and software (operating system or the applications). iPhone is all about Apple's way, taking photos and sharing it to a separate application such as FACEBOOK and TUMBLER.
Android presents sharing options to all applications with the photo is more convenient and practical to others while Androids are about your choice, with digital lifestyle being the most important especially to those who preferred social networking which greatly increased as Google Talk with their clients.
