I'm choosing between all three as I want to know from people who own those devices. I currently have a HTC Desire S and I am approaching the end of my contract. My phone has experienced water damage so I am thinking of upgrading as the lady at EE told me I could. I have seen some deals but don't know what to choose. I would prefer an iPhone as they are simple and straight forward and great for internet browsing and gaming and this is why I don't like BlackBerries due to past experience.
Which iPhone is best? 4s, 5c or 5s?
The 5S would be the best of the 3.
Why would you not contemplate another Android phone as they have come a long way since the Desire and are just as good for web browsing and gaming etc?

I was thinking the same but more steering for the 5c, don't know why. Thanks. The 5s is powerful though against some recent smartphones.
And with not going for another Android, I think it's more of a change of scenery. I already have a Google Nexus 7 2012 which is an Android and want to use iO7 and want a change to be honest.

Sounds like you are easily scarred
My 4S is still going strong, but I can't imagine buying one now - go for a 5S or 5C for sure. Personally, I really like the feel of the 5C, but of course the 5S is technically superior.

Who do you think I am, Al Pacino?

The 5s obviously the 'best' of the three. But the 4s is still a good reliable phone. Just out of date by modern standards.
Wayhay!! Thread got 12 posts in before the Moto G was mentioned
PS Was going to mention it in my earlier post but didn't want to come across as a broken record

By reports, the iPhone 5c is the very first iPhone to match other phones for signal quality/ lack of dropped calls.
After 6 years of innovation they have finally caught up.

And with a bit of patience the 16GB version can be had from Tesco from as little as £119 delivered! A not inconsiderable £350 cheaper than the equivalent 5C model.

Depends if you want Android or iOS as well though.
I'm sure you can do the same comparison with a PC and a Mac

Well, of course it does. Surely only the people who simply MUST have IOS would consider paying £469 for a phone that is very similar specs-wise to a £119 phone.
