OP starts with: > I think Android has surpassed iOS in terms of > design and usability. But then only describes how materials _looks_. Both Windows and Android have been plagued with attempting to make things look a particular way without consideration for how they _work_. Ironically, Apple is often criticized for exactly this, when in my experience they really do sweat the _work_ details. I'm not saying OP should prefer anything over another thing, just that only talking about how devices look is missing the broader goals of design and usability.
