A few things that come to my mind that are better on Android:
On Stock Android you can edit quick access settings;
It stacks notifications (but it is coming in the new iOS) and allows quickly replying from notification screen;
* Better structured settings menu;
* Having shortcuts for frequently used apps or actions and having widgets for notes/calendar on the home-screen save multiple taps and swipes and provides all that info at a glance without opening specific app;
* Android Phone app with contacts is also easier to use since search is available on all of the tabs and it provides grid view with most commonly contacted contacts. It also searches in company contact directory, a setting that is hidden under multiple clicks on iOS.
This is a bit funny, everyone said how intuitive iPhone is, but on the first day I accidentally opened magnifier and was unable to close it without getting to my computer and googling. None of my friends who had iPhone knew what that square was and how to remove it from the screen. It is not intuitive in any way to do 3 finger double tap.
And even custom keyboards are too limited by iOS SDK. For typing in languages where symbols with accents or diacritics are used it is inconvenient that the long tap doesn't bring the wanted symbol in focus and you have to swipe as well. That is not a problem on Android.
And you have to know when and where to swipe left or right to bring up some other menu or to go back one step. On Android you just click the OS back button on the bottom of the screen. For app switching - there is a button for that.
Overall it requires more clicks and swipes on iOS to get around.
I am not sure what Android version You used but the stock Google Android was a lot better in many ways. Sure, there are cool iOS features as well that are not available on Android but there are very few of those.
