I'd argue that the iPhone has a better camera too. The colour reproduction on the more (IMHO) sensibly sized screen is better and the quality of the overall hardware quality and finish is superior as well. All in all it's horses for courses. "and arguably the most popular mobile operating system" I know you said arguably and gauging by shear volume, sure. Does that mean the majority are choosing Android over everything else. I'm not so sure. Numerous studies have shown that iOS is used a lot more by those that have the platform versus the majority of cheap commodity handset that merely ship with, if you'll forgive me, an unholy bastardisation of Android installed; normally unsupported and at best 3 or 4 releases behind what is current. Android in it's "pure" form is fantastic. I'm not going to tell you that Android is "crap" because that is an utterly ridiculous position to take, much like the rhetoric levelled the other way. Sorry for that stream-of-conciousnses nonsense...
