Which iPhone should I get???

I think the newest one might be out of the question, I'll list it anyway to get more accurate results, but I think the guy said it'll be out of stock for the next couple months.
Here's a comparison from the Apple website. I honestly don't use all the bells and whistles that often past calls and texting, I just like the up to date weather, the navigation, and being able to sync my email with my phone. Having a camera attached to it is nice but I have a camera so it's not a huge deal. I don't use apps that often or surf the web.
It's interesting that this option is available to me now because my iPod broke like 2 weeks ago. I had close to 100 GB of music on my old iPod but I don't think I'd add that much on there this time around. You realize what music isn't as important to you when you see it every day on your iPod but deny it to listen to something else. I think 32 GB would be plenty.. I think. I want at least 20 though for sure.
OK so I'd get the top end of each kind. 4S only holds 8 GB and I know I'd want a lot more music than that. The only upside is that it's free. The one I'm considering most right now is the 5C. It's $200 for 32 GB which is reasonable. If I got the 5S I would just pay the extra bill for 64 GB, which is $400. It has a better camera and a few other things, but I'm not sure how much I'd use all of those features. Right now I'm leaning towards the 5C.
Anyone have a certain model they like? Comments on why a certain one is better than the other? Thanks for the feedback!

I got a 5s on Friday and it's pretty fantastic. For the extra $100 over the 5c, I would DEFINITELY get the 5s. It will retain it's value way better, the processor is amazing, and the construction is second to none.
Whatever you do, definitely do not get the 4S. It's a couple years old already, and the screen is tiny.

They're overpriced for what they are, a mid-grade device.
Android makes way better devices, not to mention there's a lot of different types of devices to choose from, iPhone has one type of phone and that's it.
IMO androids UI/OS is better, maybe that's just because I got very comfortable with it idk, but you can do virtually anything with an android device, it's opensouce, ios limits what you can do.

Whenever you make it use the highest quality there is it usually isn't too bad, you could always use the piratebay.sx and torrent your music in 320kb/s that's what I do when I download full albums.

First of all, that is absolute bullshit. They are ridiculously high quality. I just switched from Android on Friday because my company bought me the 5s, and I assure you the iPhone 5s is the highest quality phone I have ever put in my hands from a purely hardware perspective. I'm a mobile app developer, so I play with enough devices on a day-to-day basis to make a pretty good judgement about hardware.

So you agree they aren't shitty - you just don't like them. Since Friday, I have found the experience on iOS more polished and just generally better. I certainly miss certain things about Android, but I'm finding that I'm willing to lose them in favour of the superior ecosystem and user experience of iOS.

They're really both great, you can't go too far wrong, but it's tough to say Apple makes a "mid-grade device" with a straight face. The only Android phone that comes anywhere close to living up to the iPhone 5s build quality is the HTC One, and even that's a stretch IMO.

They have 1gb of ram and a 1.3ghz dual core processor, I have an android device from 2011 with specs like that, android is way better hardware wise, android is rolling out devices with ≈3gb ram and ≈2ghz quad core processors this month...

I guess you missed all the benchmark tests in the past few days that pegs Apple's new A7 CPU as the best on the market right now - it blows away the Snapdragon 800 (the best ARM CPU currently used in an Android device), and with only 2 cores.
Link to rigorous benchmark testing of the A7: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7335/the-iphone-5s-review/5
If you read about mobile CPU architecture, you would know that mobile CPU architecture is not currently optimized to power gate away the extra 2 CPUs, making 2-core processors at higher clocks generally more efficient than 4-core processors at this time.
3GB of RAM is just a spec to say they have it. Try USING an iPhone and tell me it needs more RAM, not just looking at a spec sheet.

QFT. Apple doesn't skimp on the quality. Except on the 5C I guess. 
Some of the windows phones are supposed to be right up there, and a Galaxy S3 or S4... those are good too, but it's kind of like running linux on an Alienware if you wanna start talking about high quality android devices

Wait until the Note 3 comes out, bet it beats it in benchmarks.
IMO benchmarks aren't a really good thing to base a phones performance on anyways, I've seen lower rated phones blow higher rated phones away during actual usage/gameplay.

The irony here kills me - you quote a spec sheet as the reason a certain phone is better, then when I come back with benchmarks, an equally useless measure of a device's performance, you claim it's not relevant .
Oh also, the Note 3 is slated to use a Snapdragon 800, so no, it won't.

You don't have to, but OP said he wanted an iPhone 
IME, people who want an iPhone will buy an iPhone. And there's nothing wrong with that, they're great. But the GS4 is a nice device too, as is the HTC One.
Really, if you bought any of those devices I don't think you would be disappointed.

Same with the Nokia Lumina, I hear.
That said, iPhones are really nice.
Although I hear iOS 7 is slow and tastes like old Android interface.

Seriously, what is the most common thing most people do on their phone? Typing. Yet after how many phones apple has made the keyboard is still complete shit. The keyboard alone is 1 good reason to never get an iphone, the fact that they break so easily, have an extremely restrictive OS, and cost so much more are just other reasons. Also the fingerprint gimmick is fucking lame.

OP, it sounds like you want to do pretty basic things with your phone, and to do them well. This is the iphone's bread and butter.
If you want a droid because it has "an extended super triple double whammy flopping core", you might ask yourself: What the fuck will I do with that?

What are you talking about? The keyboard on iOS and Android are pretty much exactly on par with each other IMO.
The brushed aluminum construction of the iPhone 5s breaks easily?

It doesn't have word prediction nor does it have swype, you can type much faster on a droid than an iphone. Iphone's keyboard is a joke compared to droids and droid has like 100 different keyboards you can choose from.

The iphone definitely has word prediction. Personally, I was never into swype. I used a Nexus S for a year or so, and my iphones keyboard is far superior.

Either way the iphone sucks and your opinion is invalid.

IMO benchmarks aren't a really good thing to base a phones performance on anyways, I've seen lower rated phones blow higher rated phones away during actual usage/gameplay.
The irony here kills me - you quote a spec sheet as the reason a certain phone is better, then when I come back with benchmarks, an equally useless measure of a device's performance, you claim it's not relevant .
Oh also, the Note 3 is slated to use a Snapdragon 800, so no, it won't.
We'll see when it's released...
Actually we can already see it.

That proves nothing wait until the US ones are released and they do side by side tests with them...

Used Apple products retain higher value than pretty much any other used electronics in the world.

But wait a minute, I thought benchmarks didn't matter? Which is it now? 
It's all about user experience at the end of the day. Specs mean literally nothing.

Not benchmark tests, real test. Like where they see which ones loads apps faster, loads webpages faster, plays games better, compare screens, compare cameras, etc...

If you want a droid because it has "an extended super triple double whammy flopping core", you might ask yourself: What the fuck will I do with that?
QFT!
im a basic guy.... with basic needs. iphone 4 phone suits me fine. easy to use, and easy to add music and very easy to play music .

The fingerprint sensor is not a gimmick AT ALL. It's actually INCREDIBLE. My phone is password protected, but when I push the home button, the phone is unlocked before the screen even comes on. I never password protected my phone before because it was a pain in the ass.
Making security convenient is actually very important, and they have done a very good job integrating it, as they always do.

That looks like just about the least credible article I've ever seen. It would be ALL OVER the news if that were true. It isn't even on The Verge.
