I did own the iphone but I had a bit of a dilemma. Either get some glasses or a bigger phone with bigger text. I opted for a bigger phone and I must say prefer the Galaxy, I use the superb 's voice' for virtually everything.
The LG (Like the iphone) is a sealed unit, so no just simply changing the battery like you can with the s4. Also I like lots of music on my phone so the SD card slot on the Galaxy is also an added bonus (neither the iphone or LG have one)
got 5 mnths left on my three contract (never again) so i may save up and buy a galaxy 5 and get a giffgaff sim to put in it thx for your replies Roy really helpful m8
