I wouldn't touch Apple with a bargepole - based on 2 things:

1) My old (4.5 year old iPhone 3G) works perfectly at the hardware 
level. However, it is not impossible to install any (practically) apps 
on it as the apps all demand a later version of iOS which is not available.

2) Samsung IME make some top rate phones. My old Galaxy S2 was nice but 
battery life was not good. However, the Note 3 I have now does well in 
the battery dept and is so overpowered in terms of CPU and RAM that it 
never chokes up even with several apps on the go. The missus who wants a 
small form will go for the G4 or maybe hang out for the G5.
