For example, I believe he missed the following positive points for iOS and iPhone (just my casual thoughts): 1. iPhone 4s is 2 to 3 times faster than Galaxy Nexus in graphics: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5133/galaxy-nexus-ice-cream-sa... 2. Software update support: The new OS updates are not pushed fast enough to all android phones -- you may have to wait months to get the latest OS release like 4.0 on your phone -- and for most phones, it will actually never be released (apart from Nexus phones which have the best experience in this regard, but when comparing Android you have to look at all phones). Look at this: http://theunderstatement.com/post/11982112928/android-orphan... 3. Android market apps cannot be fully trusted, since they may be of poor quality or may be malware -- since they have not been reviewed, and also they can access more things on the phone. (with permissions, but most users just say yes to all permissions) 4. Lots of accessories available for the iphone whereas there are so many android phones that accessories available for each phone are much much less. 5. Airplay on iOS can push the screen content and video/audio to speakers/TV via apple tv. This is a really amazing experience -- for example showing your photos and videos to friends on the TV via airplay while flicking back and forth on your iphone/ipad. 6. iCloud Photo stream where your photos are synced automatically, without you having to do anything. Same for documents in the iCloud. iTunes match can upconvert all your music to high quality music, without having to upload it in the first place! 7. Fragmentation issue: Some apps work on some phones, some dont. For example, netflix was not available for most android phones for a long time. Angry birds also started with only a few handsets. 8. Galaxy Nexus is toooo big. iPhone can be used well with one hand with the thumb being able to reach any part of the screen. iPhone's styling and design as well is better -- though that is subjective. 9. One of the best quality support and service available via apple retail store. 10. The amount of quality apps available on the App Store, for everything, like games, music, productivity, etc. 11. Siri may be underwhelming, but still it can handle a lot of tasks much more easily and in much more friendly way than Android.
There are many more.... For android also, there would be a list like this.. but I believe the main plus point in favor of android are: free navigation app from Google maps (on iOS, you have to buy one for atleast $20), app-to-app sharing and more customization.
