Not worth the trade. The Note 3 camera has been great for me so far. If your only interested in taking better pictures then I'd get a real camera. I wouldn't recommend giving up Android or any of the Note 3 features for a phone that has a slightly better camera. There more negatives with the iPhone 5s, in my opinion.

Thank God you told us! I have been tossing and turning all night, every night, worrying about it.

I had every new phone out already besides the 5s and I want to try the 5s. I hear the Touch ID is very accurate and good I hear and the camera is flawless I hear and I love taking pictures so I'm thinking about it I'm not sure yet because I love the features on this Note 3.

I actually traded my 5s in for the Note 3 about 3 weeks ago. As an Apple user for many years i was shocked when i got the Note 3. Aside from everything being tied together for my apple products, i don't know if i miss the iPhone to be honest. Not to knock it or anything, it is a beautiful phone. Just seems like the droid os lets u have so much more freedom! Not to mention the expandable storage! I now have 64 gb of space compared to my 16 gb 5s!

But def a good phone still! : )

Honestly, I have to say don't do it. I started a new job a few months ago and they issued me an iphone 4S and I figured I didn't want to carry the BIG GN3 with me on top of my work phone so I sold it and got an iP5S and can I say how much I HATE THIS IP5S. Plain and simple too small, and just unusable compared to the GN3. Now I am going to sell my Verizon 64GB Iphone 5S that I got 2 months ago and just trying to decide if I should get the GS4, GN3 (again) or GS5. I will be ditching Verizon too.

Touch ID is hit or miss and not really all its cracked up to be.

I obviously don't want a camera and I obviously kno a camera is better than phone cameras . I want the best camera out of these two phones why I might trade because I hear iPhone 5s camera is flawless.

Well then someone lied to you because its not flawless and if you buy a iPhone 5s you may want to pick up a extension cord so that you can charge it without being near a receptacle

Main phone, Note 3 - I purchased the iphone 5s as a company phone...and I HATE IT!!!! Way too small and Siri is in the stone ages compared to the voice on the Note 3. Try it if you must, but you'll be back.

Well my two cents says that the best camera on a phone belong to those on the Nokia Lumia Windows Phones. Now I know there are those that hate Windows Phones but the OS is smooth and these cameras really are flawless. You just have to deal with possibly not having every app you want. Still..... those cameras....WOW (I had a Lumia 1020 with that BIG gorgeous 42mp camera). I love my Note 3 but nothing beats the Lumia Line for cameras. Just MHO

Don't they call iPhone users "Wall Huggers" for this very reason? I'm not hating on iPhone owners. Its a well made phone that also runs well but the whole non-removable battery and no expandable memory thing is enough to keep me away. Add the puny size to that and its the perfect storm. I guess a lot of people must be fine with it though as they keep buying the thing. I just hate the idea of spending a ton of extra money for a 32/64GB phone when I can get another 16GB phone and just add a 64GB card to it (WAY cheaper solution). But honestly, the two main reasons I don't get an iPhone is that it's just to small for me and my old eyes and I just get bored VERY easily by the never changing row after row of icons. Not much to customize there and unfortunately I have this need to tinker with the look of my phone on a regular basis. Even the Windows Phones allow more customization and I so do love their live tiles.

I switched from an iphoneto the note3 a couple of months ago. They both have their advantages. The note 3 has been great but I've definetely had my share of problems. Still experiencing battery drain since the last update

I think the problem here is that there are so many settings and possibilities, its hard to pin down what's causing it. Could be a specific app doing that. If you can pin it down, you can either uninstall it or if that's not possible, you can also turn it off in the settings. The way I have my phone set is bound to eat up battery but I didn't buy it to be a paper weight. If its draining unusually fast, I'll pursue it but I think its doing as best it can given how I run it. Fortunately I can plug it in during the day of necessary and I also have a couple spare batteries around. If your problem persists, I'd say do the dirty deed and reset it. Then be cautious adding back apps. Its a PITA but if it solves the problem, its totally worth it.

If you make the change, always remember, never never ever do a software upgrade before reading the Apple users forum.

Don't do it. I'm about to get my note 3 this friday after having my iphone 4s for two years.

Iphones get BORING over time. Even the apps don't make it that much better. Everything about it is closed, as in apple wont let you customize anything except the wallpaper.

Android simply has so much more to offer.

Also, wait for the Note 4 if you want, it will most likely be the best phone to date.
