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.

But you're like... wrong. He said so, right? Or is he wrong? Right, right... about the iPhone. Get a 5, alright?

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.

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

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...
