Looking for build quality and simplicity. Well, the iPhone is not very durable, but is incredibly simple. The Note 4 has excellent build quality, but will not be very simple unless you have used a Samsung phone before.

My mom upgraded from a Nokia N95 to a Note 3, and it wasn't that hard. iPhone 6 is just as hard to get used to using if you haven't used an iPhone before.

Not very durable? Please explain.

I have the 6+ and love it. I've owned Android phones before and they're great, but the iPhone gets the job done and doesnt ask questions nor pose any problems. It just works. Also, mine is Jailbroken so that's a bonus. Note 4 is great but my friend upgraded to an iPhone 6+ from a Note 4 and loves the iPhone.

Bends easily, screen cracks easily, super slippery in the hand (leads to many drops). Need I say more?

The average consumer should get an iPhone because they don't give a shit about anything.

 

I am not the average consumer.

 

Get the Note 4.

I currently use a iphone 5s

 

The 5s is pretty much as fast as the Note 4 so the only reason you want to consider the Note 4 or iPhone 6 is that you want a bigger screen and NFC. Everything else, the 5s does just as well.

How even? I drop my 6+ at least twice a week and I've never had an issue. And yeah, I also sit on it. I weight ~200 and nothing has happened to it. If your friend's bent, my $5 says he was trying to show off to some friends by demonstrating how easily he could bend it.

He isn't that stupid to bend it on purpose, it just happened

If you don't have a case on it, I really doubt that's true.

Not because it's an iPhone, but because any phone abused like that would crack. Glass is not that strong.

If you currently have an iPhone, then obviously the iPhone 6 would be the simplest one to go to. You already know the OS.

Its true that the glass isnt overly strong, however, as good case helps a lot. Get an Otterbox.

I absolutely hate Otterbox cases. They add way too much bulk to the phone and make it a real pain in the ass to carry around.

Well, each to their own, but I like the piece of mind and I'm willing to give up size for that :)

Quite easily? Not exactly. "I just have a tiny little warp here, and I had to apply a lot of force" ~Unbox Therapy
