I have many non Apple products, including phones, computers, screens, disks, etc. Let's just stick with phones for now; I have a Blackberry for work with one client & a Samsung S3 with another client, I previously had a couple of other Android phones. I have to admit that of the two current phones I prefer the Samsung, however it is massively frustrating compared to my iPhone. I said nothing in my post of being smarter than anyone, nor do I consider myself smarter, in fact, I know I am not a smart as many others.
I was merely pointing out the massive oversimplification of the concept of quality. Quality is something that is fundamental, the old concept of make it look nice (aka polish) is dead. Android is a bit like the old curates egg, good in parts and in some areas even better than iOS. The trouble comes when you put the whole package together. You might have a great bit of engineering, you might even put a layer over the top of Android to iron out some of its frustrating anomalies, however, your can never protect the end user completely from those frustrations and so, no matter how good the physical, engineered phone is, the overall product is flawed. Just as the iPhone is flawed, but to a lesser extent. The whole Apple ecosystem - the most important of which is support beats the other phones into a cocked hat. Twice I've had a problem with my phone, once stole, once broken - both times I came out of an Apple store with a brand new phone fully set up just as it was earlier in the day. Quality is about everything and Apple gets closer to perfect marks than any other phone brand (but both still have a way to go, so there's hope for all the other phone fans yet).
