I also really disagree with iPhones somehow having fewer issues than Android phones. You're never just "holding it wrong"? Or being unable to even Copy and Paste? Or having to lug around dongles? Of course, Android has it's own share of stupidities, but to argue that iPhone is vastly superior is being less than accurate.
Edit: to add, the bottomline I'm suggesting is that the differences are minor enough that, if an iphone from a couple generations ago is costing you the same as an Android from the same time, it's not clear that an iphone is better. I have an ipad that has aged just as horribly as older androids.
