Not really the same thing. iPhone vs. Android is more like comparing business class on BA vs. business class on AA. Both are nice, but neither are first class. (And just like with the phones, it's a trade-off. BA has pretty awful food, and AA's seat does not lay 180 degrees flat.)
Update: I do not say that Android phones are economy class and iPhone is private jet. The point of the above is to explain what I meant by difference between what and how.
