I got an Android, but want to go back to the iPhone. Why is this?

Only 2x as much as a Nexus 5...and to me I still got a good deal, because, overall, I prefer it's qualities easily more than 2x as much. Now, getting a Google Edition M8 for 2x as much is a different story entirely. Same experience for 2x as much as a Nexus 5. Oranges to Oranges...no thanks.

Anandtech seemed more impressed with Android displays than the iPhone...

It is not a given that the iPhone has the best display, even if you ignore resolution and PPI. Keep in mind, these are all last year's phones too. The current ones are likely to be even better.

Well, as we see different sites have different interpretations of what is better and why. I don't do anything on my phones that makes the differences really important. I don't see that my iPhones have a noticeably better screen than than the G2 or vice versa. Whatever I'm doing looks good on both...to me.

The thing is your average consumer doesn't care about this crap. Just the geeks. The average consumer sees a beautiful crisp iPhone display, the great commercials, and tons of family and friends using one, and boom sold. It's hard to beat an all around solid device. All the bells and whistles of Android are sometimes impractical.
If that was true, the average consumer would be buying Apple products instead of Android products, and Apple would not be trailing Android in marketshare. If it is not hardware and features, why else are they passing on the iPhone? You tell me.
Possibly because there are a lot of other choices. There may be what, 10-15+ contemporary android handsets out therein just the US, let alone globally (sorry, I live in the US) with prices all over the map, which is not a bad thing at all. Apple is not the only decent choice anymore...it's not 2007. The smartphone revolution is over, me thinks. If you want an iPhone today you're choosing one because you're an Apple loyalist or you particularly like the iPhone/iOS experience. It's not rocket science. Apple isn't going anywhere anytime in the foreseeable future. To state otherwise is just wishful thinking at best. There are those that are blindly loyal to apple but they DO NOT participate in these threads so a lot of your arguments are wasted as they're not reaching the intended target, IMO.

I agree. If Apple was better than all those other choices, they would still be choosing Apple.
Again, as I've repeated over and over and over again...Apple is not objectively better, it's just objectively different. Different does not equal better or worse, it equals different. I know that in your opinion one has to be better and to that's android. Your opinion that you're entitled to, no one is attempting to change your opinion, at least not that I see.

How is it possible for me to cherry pick anything? I thought the iPhone had the best display. Right?
Who, in this thread, said the iPhone had the best display? I may have missed that post in all the crossfire.

I know from personal experience that people who usually get the iPhone is because other people have one too. That's not say that is the only reason why, but 95% (don't quote me on this) or more usually pick it because it is in a lot of other peoples hands. Plus there is large stigma still (in my personal experience) that people just like anything Apple and automatically put it over android.

I don't know. I said that it had the best color accuracy, and nothing has topped it yet according to Gizmodo, except for one off-brand Android phone was equal. I'll go back and find the link.

Again, love my iPhone displays. ...but I don't need for them to be the best. If it has the best color accuracy I'm certain that's great and I'm glad blacks won't look white. Maybe the Nexus 5 has a better display for a lower price. That will make the Nexus more attractive to some. That's great too.

I can agree with this in a lot of instances I have seen. Everyone at my job literally everyone except one person has an iPhone. There are about 49 employees. The one person who doesn't always says, "I'm going to get one, I can't afford one right now. All you rich iPhone people." His carries a straight talk android phone. What he doesn't know it most of the people at my job minus a few of us are all on prepaid plans like him. He just sees an iPhone and puts it on a pedestal.

This has already been said, but you chose to ignore it. That review was from October 2012, prior to the release of the Nexus 4, Droid DNA, HTC One, G2, G Pro, Nexus 5, and 7. The last two were their favorite displays, so if you put so much weight in their opinion, you are admitting that the iPhone is not the most accurate display

The Gizmodo article was in June 2013, and included the HTC One. I have owned a DNA, One, and currently have a Nexus 7 2013, and none of them outdo the 5c display that I have in color accuracy. I am speaking from experience on this, not just relying on an article.
But, to each his own. That is what makes the world go round.
