I’m not sure how many people have spent multiple years on each iOS and Android but I have. And the experience quality isn’t even comparable. Android feels like using a Windows PC where you are always having to fiddle with some setting, install something, kill a process, fuck with the registry. iOS is absolutely hands-off in a way that nothing else is (including Mac OS). For a touchscreen device people are willing to sacrifice configurability for reliability. As phones become increasingly important to people’s lives they will spend the money to get the good stuff (and, iOS has come down in price, and due to the longevity of the products, is far cheaper over the long run. My wife is still using an iPhone 6S, and it’s still snappy).
