Apple's iPhone 5 features an attractive hardware design as well as 4G LTE connectivity on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon here in the U.S. The iPhone 5 is also offered on C Spire Wireless and Cricket Wireless. Apple's iOS is starting to show its age, but the quality of apps available in the App Store is high. The iPhone 5 also features an... - read on...

A little bit of a turnaround for me this week as the iPhone 5 rockets back into the top with a resurgence due in part to the unveiling of iOS 7. Love it or hate it, the new version of iOS is in the infancy stages of its beta and will likely change a number of times before a public release. That being said, some of the new changes have found iPhone... - read on...

For this week's OSR, I've actually changed it up ever-so-slightly by placing the Galaxy S 4 ahead of the HTC One. To be perfectly honest the two would be tied if I had the choice to do it. I prefer the housing on the HTC One compared to the Samsung Galaxy S 4, but I actually think that TouchWiz is growing on me just a little bit. Perhaps it's my... - read on...

The iPhone takes #1 as iOS 7 has just hit our hands. The beta rocks, and this is exactly what I needed. This showed me that their is hope in Apple, and that consumers are actually going to get a new OS. Now, the hardware needs to be fixed, and then we're all set to go. iOS 7 is fantastic, and I highly recommend finding a download. Up next is the... - read on...

How did the iPhone 5 get to the top of my ratings? It cheated. Since WWDC, I've been running the Beta version of iOS 7 and I've fallen in love with the software. I sort of miss the social networking options in iOS 6 in the Notifications Center but the way the software makes you feel is completely new. I sound like a marketing guy... Let's move it... - read on...

Reasons for voting the way I did


Now that I, as a developer, am running iOS 7, I see a great new potential for the device that I already like to keep at number one. The iPhone 5 gets a whole new look and feel with iOS 7, and while it may not be available publicly yet, with it incoming, the iPhone 5 deserves its number one spot. In second place, the stock Android phone still sits.... - read on...

I ranked the GS4 as the best-in-class because of its availability on every carrier you could think of, and its wide range of features. It has everything you need, and everything you probably don't. The advantage is that future-proofs itself in a way -- until Samsung refreshes it next year. The iPhone 5 will get better with iOS 7, but a new iPhone... - read on...
