Before I start this I want to say the iPhone is certainly a good product and if you preferred an iPhone before reading this, you may still prefer an iPhone after reading it. Life isn’t one size fits all but what size fits you.
I like that my Android phone has expandable memory. With an iPhone, the memory I purchase is the memory I will have with that phone. I cannot expand it without getting a new phone. My Android phone comes with 16GB memory and I have a 32GB memory card that I purchased so I have total memory of 48GB. Of course some of this memory is used up by the operating system but I think you get the picture.
I also like the idea that I can customize my keyboard. With an iPad, I have to use the keyboard that comes with my iPhone. With my Android, I can choose whether I wish to use the keyboard that comes with my phone or I can get another one that works better for me. The choice is mine.

It is easier and more flexible to attach a file to an email on an Android phone than on an iPhone. I also am not limited to how many files I can attach like I am on an iPhone.
My Android has more viewing area than an iPhone.

Now there are some advantages to an iPhone: The iPhone camera is likely to be better than the camera on an Android phone; when Apple issues an operating system update all iPhone users can update their phone. For the Android phone the updates can be put on your phone when the phone’s manufacturer makes it available. And yes an iPhone is easier to set up and use. But remember what I said earlier about having a choice of what keyboard to use with my Android phone. I have more customization options with my Android then I would with an iPhone. This includes choosing a phone. Several companies make an Android phone so there are many Android phone models to choose from. Only Apple makes the iPhone and there are not many iPhone models to choose from. That said, there are less glitches with the iPhone.
In the end, the choice is yours. If you want a phone with less glitches the iPhone is for you. If you want a phone that is more customizable then an Android phone is for you. Personally I like the customization feature and yes sometimes my Android phone will freeze which the iPhone is less likely to do.
