I suppose its possible to argue that they are by virtue of the superiority of their UI design and a more robust app ecosystem. In my own experience, I find myself far more impulsive about phone use on an iPhone than when I was using android devices.

Looking through a tinted lens, is it possible that iOS devices are just nicer to use, leading you to use them more?

I've had a couple iPhones and now currently use Android, but I never noticed this in myself. Can you give a little bit more detail?

I’ve seen kids ask silly questions to Siri and having a ball getting silly answers back. Is G-now any fun?

I think this is a super silly debate, but yes, Google Now is tons of fun. It will tell stories to you (way more than Siri knows), it will play games with you (way more games than Siri can play), it will do all kinds of unexpected and fun, nearly-natural things that are not just search.

Siri's answers are monotonous and boring compared to Google's.
