How Does Apple Maintain Its Stranglehold On The Best Cellphone Cameras?

I'm kidding of course. I just don't agree with blind loyalty.

It's increasingly rare these days to find someone who acknowledges the pros/cons of two devices especially if it's a comparison between an Android device and an iPhone. Usually you all you get is a "Apple sucks" or "iPhone is designed for idiots"

The iPhone has a lot of things going for it. The 6/6plus was a big step forward. I prefer Android buy with the latest models it does address most of the hardware based things which were lacking in previous models i. e. larger screen, higher resolution screen etc.
If I didn't have a Samsung phone I'd probably have an iPhone. I came from an iPhone after all. None of the other android OEM's interest me.

In an ideal world Samsung and Apple would collaborate on the igalaxy and then I'd have my dream phone lol.

These 2 are a comparison of the 4s and S5. Both taken from the exact same position with the same low lighting and then cropped. I took photos on different settings and picked the best on the S5. ALL AUTO was what created the best imaging in low light on this S5. There isn't any real need to use different settings on the iPhone, so i just used the 1st photo.
These were the outcome. I seriously tried to be a s fair as possible with this. Mind you, this iPhone is 2 generations behind.

You can see one blends the lines and color together to make the image smoother, image is brighter but sacrifices detail and true real world color.

The other holds more detail, harder edges, and truer real world color, but creates a more grainy image.

Look at the power receptacle, phone cord receptacle, cabinet edging, top of dog treat bowl (blue scarf and writing on bowl).

I'm wondering.. How did you secure both cameras? Did you handhold or mount both to a tripod? The reason I ask is both images have camera shake which is amplified when you crop..
A real world comparision would be to enlarge and print both images using traditional wet printing. This is the method I use when comparing digital cameras whether they be camera/phones, P&S digital, or DSLR's. Posting images on a forum is worthless since the forum will reduce image size as well as resolution... Using Wally Worlds print making machines don't work...

Of course if you want maximum quality of your images, use film. Digital has yet to catch up with the top quality resolution and sharpness of film.. Even now when I shoot for money I use film..

Both were held, which in real world I would say is exactly what you would do with a camera phone. If it were a comparison of a Nikon and a Canon DSLR in low lighting, then I would agree a tripod would be of use. Not for camera phones.

Yes, cropping will bring out imperfections, which is exactly why I cropped them. You can see all the imperfections in both images. It also brings out what the other can't do in the exact same situation.

The main reason for this comparison is because of the implication of not knowing how to use the S5 with all of its 'features'. The point is, it's a camera phone that is meant to be point and shoot.
