You're a hoot. Go back to iMore.
Truth hurts, huh?
BTW, I don't use an iPhone at this time.

Why would you want to choose [something other than] an iphone when thats the device you chose in the beginning?
No argument. Just stating that "out of the pocket" experience produces better pics on the 5s, according to reviewers. No big deal.
Truth hurts, huh?
For my part? Pre-iOS 7 got stale and boring. Plus I'm an I.T. guy and I like have some knowledge about multiple smartphone OSs because people ask my recommendation frequently. Finally, Microsoft won me over with Windows 8/RT and I'm no longer using Apple desktops/laptops.
I still have a 16gb iPhone 4S which I've updated to iOS 7 and I no longer think it's stale and boring, but I do prefer WP8 now. Sometimes people grow and branch out and want different things than they originally wanted. *shrug*
I think i know where this is going. I won't bother replying to You more, as You keep Your "according to reviewers" part, which You won't even quote here. Everyone can find reviews showing a biased point of view, it's not that hard. Some people would say 5s does better job than most DSLRs on the market just for the sake of it, but should we believe them?
Technically Lumia 1020 is far superior to 5s, and as I said You can't deny that. Even if WB is slightly off on a picture, it still gets more details, allows You to reframe your picture or to zoom it. You still get better low light photography because of OIS and it's a killer feature for video capture.
So to sum things up, You get far more advanced camera in 1020 and I can bet my own 1020 that it's going to produce better auto quality pics than 5s. I won't comment Your random googled reviews as I can find other reviews saying 1020 is better.
Your opinion is a bit flawed as You base it on "someone who I don't even know said it's better, so it has to be" mindset. My 10 years old car is probably better than a Ferrari because I said so?
People give You solid arguments showing 1020s upper hand but You still stubbornly repeat "I saw reviews saying 5s is better".
If you're going to find any comprehensive argument showing 5s is better than 1020, You're welcome back here to be treated seriously.
Have a nice day, sir.
But when the majority of reviews pick the 5s, then there must be some merit to it.
I don't blame you for defending what you have, if that is what you want to do. But I guarantee that you can go to an iPhone forum and find people that have had a 1020 and an iPhone 5s, and swear by the 5s. It's all in the owner's eyes most of the time. I like to read the reviews, because they are normally by people who own neither phone. I'm going to the AT&T store and compare them myself.

I don't know why anyone would want to switch away from iphone. I do not own an iphone nor do I support Apple products in any way. I just figured people who bought an iphone bought it for a specific reason since I cannot see why anyone would buy an iphone. I believe that people who did buy an iphone had something in mind when they chose that device. Maybe because its "cool" or "popular" or something.
Why would you want to choose an iphone when thats the device you chose in the beginning?
For all that are still paying attention, I'm going to order a Lumia 925 from AT&T on Friday.
All Nokia devices. My 520 is totally slow.What Nokia are you comparing? Everyone knows that if its speed you're looking for and you have a 1020/1520 is that you use stock app.
No other phone(iphone/android) has made a phone with a camera that big running on a "dual-core" S4. Until they do, no one should say what you said.
Great choice, it's an excellent phone. As you are using Windows 8.1, you'll find WP works very well with it, due to both devices syncing from the same Microsoft Account, so make sure you use the same account for both devices. This way, items like SkyDrive data, People (address book), Calendar etc will be in sync with each other. I find it extremely useful to just work on some OneNote notebooks etc and add Calendar info on my Windows 8.1 machine and know that it's available straightaway on the phone if I'm out and about. It's the same the other way round, make changes on the phone and see them on your Windows 8.1 machine, very handy.For all that are still paying attention, I'm going to order a Lumia 925 from AT&T on Friday.

To be honest, battery life on any windows phone is better than iphone. My previous WP8 handset was the 620 with a 1300mah battery and it easily outlasted the iphone 4s. Now I've got the 625 and the battery life is doubled! I charge it every night, but I could use it for 2 days straight with its 2000mah battery
