5 reasons.

1. Availability and quality of apps
2. Ease of use
3. Accessories, accessories and more accessories
4. Compatibility with other devices
5. Great hardware

Bonus: Accessibility

1. Both Google Play and Apple's Appstore has over one million apps, you can get basically everything for both platforms. On Android you can have many apps for free with adds, or pay that tiny sum of money ($0.79-0.99) to get it without adds, while with Apple there usually is no free version with adds, because of Apple's strict policy with them. And because Android is an open platform, you can get every app for free if you want to, from Piratebay etc.

2. Implying that Android is hard to use? Clearly shows that you've never used one on regular basis. The only thing that makes Android seem harder to use is because it just has so many more options to customize your settings and everything. Some older or just simpleminded people might see it as complicated.

3. Overpriced Apple accessories? Ha! Tell one thing that you can have for iPhone that isn't available for Android phones. Yeah some AppleTV or whats it called, nice thanks but I already have a HDMI cable from my computer to my TV and can watch anything I want from there.

4. Now this is getting ridiculous, the only things iPhone's are compatible is with other Apple products. I've had an iPod and using iTunes on Windows is just a horrible pain in the ass. Not to even mention Apple's own connectors that doesn't work with anything else.

5. You mean obsolete hardware? It might be made from aluminium (?), but so are many Android phones too, it isn't exclusively for iPhone. And if we're talking specifications, Apple has been lagging behind for years now, and the gap is only getting bigger.

If we compare for example the Galaxy S4 to iPhone, the only thing where iPhone 5S is higher is price. S4 sports a 5 inch screen with standard 1920x1080 resolution, while Apple still has a small 4 inch screen that is nowadays in basically every cheap touch screen phone. Not to even mention the iPhones completely un-standard 1136x640 resolution that no one uses expect Apple.

Had to cut things because of the 2000 character limit but thats the basics.

I'm not sure if people understand but apple get the hardware from the same place as many lower priced company's.

ok i will admit apple is kinda lagging in the design department. like have you heard of their new product? its called the iPad air. i mean, i love apple, but this is honestly kinda dumb. and FYI i have used an android on a regular basis. it was the worst experience ive ever had with technology.

i knew that..kinda ironic cuz apple uses samsung components in ipods lol

After my previous experience with a Android device, I can say that my iPhone is much better. My Droid crashes daily, the touch screen becomes unresponsive to the point where I can't use the pattern lock and have to resort to the traditional PIN code, my apps are super laggy especially Temple Run, and the camera was sh*t. The only I thing I like about the Android is that I don't have to deal with iTunes.

I think Apple is charging way too high for iPhone 5s,because it was waaayy cheaper to made,they only want big provit
Meanwhile the iPhone 5c is basically a iPhone 5 that use plastic body

EXACTLY my point. androids are faulty junk. at least whenever i pick up my iPod, i can expect it to work properly.

But Apple have that something that make me like the 5S

Had an iPhone 5, then traded for Galaxy S4. I hate Android, but that phone had an awesome camera. I currently have an iPhone 5S and don't plan on switching until the next iPhone.

Are you comparing 2009 Android phone to your new iPhone? Android wasn't that good back then (2.X.X), it was laggy I agree, but it has come a long way in the past 4 years.

Again what Android phone have you been using?

this android/iphone arguement is like politics..everybody has different views...and nobodies gonna win lol
