Choice of smart phone? Specifically: Apple versus Android, for casual, non-technical user.
Anyone got any general comments or guidance on this question:
For a first smart phone. Should I get an iPhone or a Samsung Android?
Specific phones considered:
Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016); Price: $125.00 (Includes ‘Easy Mode’ Option).
Apple iPhone 5s; Price: $160.00.
(Both are WiFi capable.)

Actually, for my wife, not me.
She is not a geeky computer gal, likes things simple, will probably not wish to customize it & etc., usage will be casual, not intensive.
I like Samsung, I like Android (based on the use of my Samsung tablet).
But I've been told that Apples are easy to use, maybe safer on the Internet against malware, maybe will last longer (like 5-6 years versus maybe 3 years for other phones), and have better updates, and have longer use profiles.
Anyone got any tips, suggestions?
