I'd choose the android over iPhone everyday. For me, it's not all about the luxury or the trending thing but if the device can meet my need.
I've always loved to be able to do extra things with my device. I mean those things that ordinary users cannot do.
For example,in the days when Symbian was king, I could modify my phone (Nokia E63 then) to boot up with windows 7 sound, I could edit the themes beyond what the original developers had imagined and lots more. I like that kind of flexibility. Android, to an extent, gives us that kind of freedom.
Sadly, I can't say the same with ios. It's rigid and one can only do as it was designed. I'd become bored all too soon.
I've never used an iPhone and prolly, I never will. Well, not with my money.
