The thing about the iPad is what something had in his head in concept nearly 30 years ago.
Just shows how ahead of the curve he was in terms of computing.
The guy was on a different level to his peers.
He literally reinvented the mobile phone/tablet computer and even if the Android fanboys deny it, they all know it's the truth really.
Steve Jobs was a complete revolutionary.
How well it works with the plethora of Google Apps & Services I rely on.
Other than it's tiny screen, it's the perfect companion to my primary smartphone, which presently is an outstanding Fast & Fun Samsung Galaxy S III.

Design, looks and feels like quality.

Useful camera, stills, HDR, HD Video.
There is an for that App, something new everyday.
Games

Everything Updates, media, apps, and OS with patches.
A browser thats works.
Email that works, exchange, smtp, imapi
Discoverable UI, kids can use it, wife can use it.
Downs side. Friends think the guy with the iPhone is their personal library Internet kiosk.
Directions, movie times, settling questions or arguments

Another thing I love about is the speed. Even jailbroken my 4 is faster than my friend's HTC design
Your post wasn't actually what you like about iPhone as much as why you prefer it over the competition either...
Reliability.
Not once in the 2 years that I have owned mine has it let me down when I need it, whether it is for the alarm clock OR making calls.

The software. I love the simplicity but more importantly that stability of the OS. The quality of the apps and how well they sync across devices with the iPad. It's the overall system of the OS with both the phone and the tablet that makes the experience for me. App quality and availability is the other thing. Coming from Android the apps in general are much higher quality and are almost always available for iOS first. The actual hardware of the phone itself doesn't do a whole lot for me. I looks nice but fragility of it makes a case mandatory for my line of work, then their is the screen size thing but that's not for this thread. What I love is the OS and apps.
Apps
Exchange Email
OSX / iOS eco-system integration
Build quality
Lots of available accessories
Many options for car audio interfacing
I don't want to say that it's the best phone at the moment, but it is an excellent phone overall and stands well on it's own against the HTC One X (or Evo LTE) and the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Who polishes their phone?
I do.
I had been using an anti-glare screen protector on mine, and removed it about a month ago and I fell in love with the screen all over again, honestly if was like getting an all new phone.
Since I haven't seen it mentioned, the Flashlight. Oddly, the LED flash and a good flashlight app are one of my most used features...
Probably has a lot to do with living in the desert and needing to survey the ground for tarantulas, giant hairy scorpions, and javelinas, but I get a lot of use out of it day to day around the house as well.

I like it because everything it does-it does WELL. The browser works great, no freeze ups (even jailbroken), it offers a super smooth user experience, and the selection of apps.
The iPhone revolutionised the smartphone market.
The thing I still like is the user friendliness and stability.

Had to look up what a javelina was, and yea i would like to know where that was. if i was to just walk up on it it would scare the ***** out me.
And yes it is noce to always have a flashlight

The Retina Display is the winner... then I'll say the apps, the camera is one of the best in the market. And last but not least.. the smoothness of the UI
