Rather use the iPhone any day. At least the OS doesnt have a ridiculous name like "Ice Cream Sandwich". Really? I'd feel like a complete idiot using that name in every day conversation. I can imagine it now.
Me: "This is my new android, it's running Ice Cream Sandwich!"
Friend: "What? Is it a phone or a foodstuff?"
iPhone, Apple, and iOS are much more polished, adult and overall better. You get what you pay for. You get apps which all work across every iOS device rather than a fractured ecosystem of multiple apps for the same thing.. You get a better product with superior support. I could go on, but I'm not an Apple fanboy by any measure of the term.
Yes, because the version name (Not the OS name) has a lot of impact on the use of the phone. You could just call it Android 4, ya know, like iOS4. I find the version names funny (As do many people). Than again the appeal of humor might be lost on you.
Please, iPhone has more fart/burp/bodily function apps than Android, and you dare to call it adult? And overall better... Maybe in your opinion, but I hated using my iPhone (Yeah, I had one), and I hated using my ex's iPhone when she had it.
Yes, the marketplace is a bit fractured but that really isn't an issue is it? Certain apps require tablet specific installs, some require phone specific installs... Quite honestly, not much to cry about.
And yes, you are an Apple fanboy, as you just used the same ridiculous arguments I always hear. "Its superior", "Its better", "Its more polished", yet you nitpick version names and the marketplace (Which offers many applications I find way more useful than iOS offerings).
Here, I'll show you how to critique an OS, you might learn something from it:
I dislike iOS because I really have no real control over my operating system without jail breaking it. Many things that are offered in Android are unavailable, or have just recently popped up with iOS5.
I detest the fact that I'm expected to use iTunes for everything, and that the iPhone is the most DRM locked down device I have ever seen. Being locked into using iTunes (Which is quite honestly the most worthless media player I have ever had the displeasure of using) is one of the main issues I will never use an iOS device again.
I dislike Apples attitude in dealing with design issues. The antenna issues after the iPhone4 launch is a perfect example of handling a situation badly. Their initial stance was to deny it (Like they do with all their issues), then to blame the consumer ("You're holding it wrong!!!11"), then to admit the flaw and to issue free cases, which really didn't solve the issue for several months.
I dislike the lack of customization of the iPhone. I rather have control over the look of how my screen looks or at least more than changing a wallpaper.
I do not like that 4G isn't offered on the iPhone.
I dislike the lack of a SD slot. 16gb-64gb really isn't that much space, especially at the price increase with each disk upgrade.
I dislike the keyboard for iOS, and much prefer Swype or keyboard offerings on Android.
I generally dislike the interface (There are some exceptions). Again, its more of a control thing. I dislike any lack of control over my property.
I'd spend more time figuring out things I dislike, but to really make a full list I'd have to play with an iOS device, and god help me if I do that again.
