iOS is a nice unified experience. Contrast that with your run-of-the-mill mid-range Verizon-branded Samsung, which has 4 phone dialers, 3 app stores, and insists you log in with 3 different accounts to get the "full experience."
Unless you buy an off-the-shelf Android device with a fairly clean software environment, your experience with Android will be one full of non-removable outdated redundant bloatware. It's all on Google that they allowed OEMs and phone companies to push their crap software onto Android phones.
