Iphone? Or another smartphone? And which plan?

So i'm going into hs next year, i really would like to have a smartphone, android? Iphone? For many different reasons such as school and extra curricular activities. Plus i travel.
I have a job from my familys business so i could pay for the phone and the plan as well.
I have been looking into straight talk, tracfone, net 10 but there plans confuse me so (i don't know if their plans handle iphones?) So which plan should i look into purchasing and i think i might just buy an iphone of craigslist? Any other recommendations when it comes to smartphones?

Iphone

The best thing to do is to look at the top 10 selling phones, most likely being Apple and Android phones. Look at the pros and cons, see what you like about one that the other doesn't have. Another thing to look up is the coverage you would get with which carrier you get. I have AT&T, which has always been good for me.

Go to any store or call them and ask this, they will surely be able to answer all of your questions.

As for an opinion on the phone, I'm an Apple person, so I'm getting the iPhone 6 when it comes out this month. I'm not sure if you're like this but a lot of people like having the "new thing" and that'd be it. Granted android makes great phones and there are things they have that iPhones don't, but every phone is like that.

Get an iPhone. It's easier to use and prettier. I've used them for 5 or 6 years. I can't wait to get my 6 when they ship

Get iphone 6!
