I'm a Java guy, open source advocate, I love to have "power user" features and I was an android guy since android came out. I recently made a move to iOS (iPhone 6), and I'm not looking back.
It has much less features, it's a walled garden and all, I have to learn a new language (or two) to be able to develop apps for it (And pay $100), but the reason I like it so much is that it simply works.
Not just the software side, my android devices always had more issues, my Galaxy S III spent 3 times being fixed at Samsung for different reasons, so far with the iPhone I had no software or hardware issues.
And when my wife had battery issues with her iPhone 5c, instead of taking it for fixing they just gave her a new one on the spot and apologized for the inconvenience.
Simple, do-one-thing and do it right devices, that simply work.
This is a classic "do more with less", less features, nothing too exciting, but the little they have simply works.
