See, I see it completely differently. If you want a device you have to work for, get an Android, but if you want a device that works for you, get an Apple!
And I'll even go a step forward (unlike you) and back up my statement - I'll keep it short. Android requires you to get another keyboard to make it comfortable to use, it requires you to hide lots and lots of bloat just to make it as easy to navigate as iOS. And then you have to disable things just to balance hardware resources . Then you must run virus/malware software that also reserve resources consistently (in comparison - there is not one virus/malware app in the App Store, no one would buy it). And all for what? Slightly bigger screen? A widget? Everyone I know who has an Android, had to FINISH the OS in some way, or in a few instances changed it to something else (root&flash). Yeh that's all great, but why would you have to work just to make the experience match iOS - Clean, Smooth, Intuitive.
Apple, you can buy a new one, restore your back up (regardless of new iOS version) and you're set to go. DONE!
You see "controlled by your device", I see handpicked, polished, properly implemented features and setup that is called iOS.
I have, but no longer run any anti-virus on any of my 3 android devices, just wasn't necessary. Many folks don't have to "finish the OS" but like to tune and customize it towards their desires. Some actually enjoy the activity of doing just that...making the phone uniquely theirs. Different strokes for different folks.
