Are they really good phones? All the android devices I've owned have lots of fairly glaring usability problems. Most recent example: My nexus 7 periodically does something that kills the battery, and the touch/tap responsiveness is quite laggy. I could go on and on. Apple devices have significantly better usability and many fewer warts than Android devices. IMHO the only people who think the two platforms are on par are people who look only at hardware specs.
