We are a house divided. I love my iPhone and iPad, and my husband loves his Samsung Galaxy and Kindle.

Same here. 4 Iphones, 1 Ipad 2, 1 Asus 10, 1 Nexus 7.

My analysis after having both for a couple of years now - IOS is more user friendly and easier to use for the not technically inclined (wife and daughter). Android is much more fun for those who like to tinker and customize (my sons and myself). It truly can do a lot more than an Apple device. And despite what people claim, I have never had a virus on my android tablet.

Finally, Apple still leads in Quality apps. Google, has more overall apps, but the majority of them are just cheap ripoffs of the more popular apps. As soon as Coin Dozer got popular, there were at least 20 to 30 copies in the Google play store. Also, there are a significant amount of “adult themed” apps that you won’t see in the Itunes store, which inflates the Android apps number. I personally wish they would remove them, which is why I still lean towards Apple.

I predict that Apple will be forced to unlock more and more of IOS or continue to lose market share to Android.
