Iphone or Android? What's better?

I'm thinking of changing my phone and plan from Metro PCS to something better.

What's the better phone?
What is an affordable service and plan?
I live in California.

Android.
Walmart.

Android with out a doubt.

Android phones are have an open platform which allows anyone to go and modify them, they are also much less expensive, they usually have larger screens and with the latest version of Android, i think much more appealing to the eye than iOS.
iPhones run iOS which is a closed platform. You have to put all your music and videos on using iTunes. They have smaller screens and usually they are much easier to smash. Most apps that you can get on Android are usually free but on iOS they are paid for.

The decision is yours but i would go for Android.

The Androids tend to beat the iPhone in nearly anything. They are faster, more reliable, etc. I recommend the Samsung Galaxy S4 or the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. The iPhones are very slow (trust me, as soon as my upgrade is up I'm switching my iPhone for an android.) Also they never upgrade the iOS and always have mistakes. My iPhone 4 doesn't have HDMI support for a cable even though the cable was made for the iPad 2 when the iPhone 4 was out. Instead they support the 4S, which is the same exact phone with a better camera. I'm honestly done with Apple's phones, but I will never stop loving my Macbook: p. It's all preference though, if I were you I would check them both out at a store. If you have a family a family plan is cheap and Sprint has very affordable plans. Sprint also supports 4G and 4G LTE, so the S3/4 would work with 4G LTE, which tends to be faster than Wi-fi. Hope I helped!
