for me, it is the android devices and it's not even close
and I hate it, because I WANT to support Apple - the American company; especially now that they have stepped up and brought in more jobs & production into the US
their devices are far more popular & all I can do is salute them for their marketing genius
crazy thing? it wouldn't take that much for them to catch up
the 2 biggest things, for me, have to do with functionality
I mean, why does Apple not allow for a number row on the top line of their keyboard?
I KNOW they can do it; because I have seen at least one app that auto populated a number row on the top line on an iphone
2nd thing is; why does apple not enable "smart lookup" on the keypad as you dial a phone number?
when you type numbers on an android; you automatically get suggestions from your contacts as a drop down option, with the most frequently called person on top
on apple devices; you have to type in the whole number before you see a contact name
apple seems to be a little better to play games on & for social media (but on message boards, droids are far better - especially this one)
but as a communication device? androids are far superior and more powerful - I really don't understand it either; it's like apple isn't even trying...
anyway - I am seeing real proof that the droid is easier to use
my 6 year old daughter (who is autistic) LOVES to play with cell phones (she mainly watches youtube; but also has a bunch of games she really likes)
my wife let's her use her phone almost whenever she wants
but she doesn't want mommy's phone
she wants daddy's phone; even though she has only ever played with or used the iphone until just a week ago
for the last year and a half; I was carrying an iphone
just upgraded to the Galaxy S8 & got my wife the iphone X (which is rated as the best phone on the market)
what does the kid want?
daddy's phone

tl;dr
iphone sucks - get a samsung

I have an Iphone and to be honest... the battery seems like it drains faster then my bladder after a few too many beers. Its nice, it does Iphone things, but I'm getting tired of constantly recharging the darn thing.
Also, have you thought about getting a tablet? I think your daughter might enjoy having one to play her games on and they aren't that expensive now a days. She can watch Youtube on a bigger screen and its easier to play some of the tap and touch games on one. My nephew is autistic and he loves his tablet.

I'm one of many countless, soulless consumers who prefer the iPhone for simplicity. I don't want or need to customize everything, I just need it to do a few basic things reliably and easily. The iPhone does that for me. I have a work one and a personal one. I like that everything syncs across my iPad, iTunes, and phone. It's just easier.
I understand that Android is better for the users that really care about certain things but I just don't. Can I call, email, text, listen to music/podcasts, and get directions? Yes? Then I'm good.
I had an android for a while years ago, I hated the store, I hated how I couldn't easily download music to it or sync across platforms. I just hated it.

She has a dedicated iPad at her school just for her and I went ahead and got her an iPad that ties in to my unlimited data plan when I got my wife the iPhone X - it was $100 after rebates for the black Friday sale (normally 500 or 600)
Its as much of a Christmas gift for me and the wife as it is for her...

Yeah, iPhone is better for games, music and social media
Droid is better for business
The biggest feature for me is looking up contacts as I dial
2nd is customizable keyboard
