IPhones have a great build quality but the software is too bland and limited/restrictive by Apple with a locked OS. Therefore I chose android that allows the user the power and control. Android is a very intuitive and multi-faceted OS that suits my taste for the savy, software privy community. I understand that not everyone fits that mold and that most women, nerds, and a handful of regular Joes prefer Apple. Nothing wrong with this.

There are Android phones on the market that trump the iPhone in hardware and are also on par with build quality. This is another reason android was an easy choice for me. Now, Apple making a 128GB model will help them, but those ridiculous prices won't. Another downfall to their line. They sure are proud of their shite.

this is the one thing I don't like about apple vs the other guys. There isn't enough customization built into the phone/computer. I would argue though that before customization iOS > Android (what ever they call it).

IMO, apple usually leads in software (except customization), but I have always found hardware is lacking. Apple is so concerned about the look, you are stuck with a a set GB count, Ram count, Battery size, etc. For me to upgrade the memory on my Macbook pro I pry off the hard drive that is almost impossible, and you probably destroy the mother board in the process. Apple has made everything that only they can fix it. That is really annoying, but it makes them more $$$.
