No. 5: Apple Apple's (AAPL) net sales keep climbing, as the tech giant continues to sell more iPhones and digital content. But the company faces pressure in the smartphone business, as Android phones grow increasingly dominant. Meanwhile, Apple reported an annual drop in net income in fiscal year 2013, a first in more than a decade.

Wow, this is the most pathetic list ever! I own the iphone 2, 3, 3S, 4, 4S, (skipped 5), 5S, Galaxy S5, and HTC ONE. Here is my list of who is best: The HTC ONE is premium and better than all of them on so many levels. Next, would be the iPhone 5S Then 4S Then Galaxy S5. Samsung phones are pretty pathetic. Plasticy, flimsy, crappy over-saturated screens, and the list goes on and on.

Not the most pathetic gimmick ever but the last half you had a point. The lost clearly explains who's the best when it all adds up to the jd power award, because one, is the design that good? Well judging by the speakers up from completely taking up the bezel, why not have the home button on front like iPhone to where you can scan the finger without flipping it around to see it, wait a second it came straight from iPhone just like the gold phone and true tone flash, yet how can it win, does it even have something compared to jailbreak? iPhone is and continues to be number one, HTC number 3 if you look at the sales from AT&T tmobile sprint and verizon, and galaxy number 2 even though it is terrible than HTC but still continues to be some places behind 5c.

Nothing special, waiting for sapphire glass with solar charging. Once this feature is available i will upgrade from my iphone 5 and note 3.

gamerscul9870 - May 31, 2014 at 7:35pm

Nothing better to offer. Once there is a bigger screen and better battery I'm going from 4s to 6 or maybe 6s.

Samsung Galaxy S5: RESELL VALUE: 53% of the original price --- iPhone 5S: RESELL VALUE: 70-85% of the original price. END of discussion...

Reason Number 15 - The Most Significant of ALL.. FACT: No one should have a problem selling an old iPhone (from the Original iPhone 2G to the iPhone 5); BECAUSE someone in this world WILL BUY your older iPhone (for sure!!) ...because that someone will replace his or her old "ANDROID, mainly a (broken) Samsung !!! Think about it..Value..Value...Value! (Most Valuable (i)Phone)

Haters wanted an iphone for birthday but got galaxy s5. Now they are here commenting.

Comparing an Iphone thats older to a new device is just not right, wait til Iphone 6 comes out and then we talk! Apple ecosystem is so much confortable than android, for ex: iMessages, iCloud, AppStore, iTunes, Software Updates, Resale Value, etc.. Its just hard to move away from that, not just phone features that nobody sees but you!

gamerscul9870 - May 30, 2014 at 10:36pm

And the fingerprint scanner, talk about not trying to be iPhone.

Groovy - May 30, 2014 at 10:35pm

Nothing fancy on the iPhone...it simply works and works well. Fancy features on the Android phones but never syncs correctly and never works well consistently! I'm sure it will get better as they work on it, oh, and non-quality type apps (I know, cause I have both iPhone 5S and Nexus 7 rooted)...oh well just my humble opinion. Also wondering, despite the iPhones being so expensive it's still the most phones sold in the World? hmm?

0ab785c - May 30, 2014 at 10:34pm

Yes they do and it does work well. But I'd rather have a fun where I can access features where I don't have to hack the phone to get. If you get really into that stuff...well, get a life.

*phone (not fun)

e206e7a - May 30, 2014 at 10:29pm

Talk about specs and then talk. And since you brought jailbreaking into this, how about we talk about rooting. I bet you'll all shut up.

0d1a0ce - May 30, 2014 at 10:27pm

This article should be named, 25 things on the iPhone that are better than the s5, which some are really dumb. You can tell whatever fanboy made the list ran out of things to say.

25d8d50 - May 30, 2014 at 10:21pm

These reasons are actually sad. Some of them are very stupid. And it's also sad that you guys think that jailbreaking is a cool feature of the iPhone. Get a real phone!

#1 QUALITY AND JAILBREAK!!!

dyohanan - May 30, 2014 at 5:11pm

The only reason is that the iPhone is the original and the galaxy is just a bad copy.

gamerscul9870 - May 30, 2014 at 4:48pm

Well said, but jailbreak is also another reason. Over hundreds of icons to choose from, animations, add anything to apps. Now that's magic.

Dude... - May 30, 2014 at 4:44pm

Theres prolly an article called "25 reasons why S5 is better than iphone 5S" lingering around on the net somewhere

YoYo - May 30, 2014 at 4:53pm

It literally points that out in the article. It was made by the same people that made this video. Maybe learn to read?

SimonSays - May 30, 2014 at 5:00pm

LOL, well said

93a46c9 - May 30, 2014 at 10:31pm

Yea. They just switched the letters around. These are lame reasons the iPhone is better. Talk about screen specs and stuff, and the fact we don't even need to jailbreak. You guys just jailbreak your iPhones to become more like android. Just buy one and save yourself time.

DarkSide - June 2, 2014 at 11:39pm

You're right. With every new os it becomes more like Android.

tzvifiller - May 30, 2014 at 4:30pm

We don't need reasons. We know it is.

tmel4198 - May 30, 2014 at 4:27pm

AND ACTUAL SECURITY! Unlike android
