There are similar apps. You missing the point that good apps just don't work in silo. Yes, you can have the most super duper app but without proper integration to os is like a Frankenstein solution. E.g. click a link to send a email in iPhone, the default email is used not your super fantastic email app.

Plus a phone is more of a personal than a work device. If you want to create media/content you use a PC/Mac/tablet.

Automation is one area iPhone is lacking. You want to sync or upload photo/files in iOS, you have to sit there with app opened and wait for task to complete. Or why do you always need to silent your phone manually in iPhone. On Android I can have apps to take care of these mundane tasks for me automatically (based on rules/scenarios)

We use our device for communication. There is no apps on iPhone that can do call management like blacklist/call recording/rules filtering.

There are just too many areas and tasks that iPhone just can't do. Granted that some apps are more polished on iPhone but thats about it. These polished apps cannot leverage or integrate with the underlying os (or other 3rd party apps) to give a much greater capabilities and offer more complete workflow experience.

By the time you setup all of you "stuff" on Android it's already done on iOS. A lot happens behind the scenes when the phone is locked and plugged in and in wifi, so I'm not sure you really understand. Additionally call recording in the US is mostly illegal which is why there isn't an easy way to do it. But clearly there are ways to manage calls.
 
I am currently a Note 4 owner, have been since it came out. I've never owned an iphone. Am sort of considering the 7plus or wait on the 8.
I love my Note 4. Love the stylus. Am accustomed to Android. Know very little about iPhone. Would miss a few apps that I have heard are not available on iphone. Would certainly miss the customability of the home screen. Would miss a lot.
The one thing I WON'T miss is the horrible battery life. I'm currently going through 2 or 3 batteries a day. A full reset would probably fix that, but I don't want to unless I have to.
I do see my coworkers iPhones seem much smoother in transition than mine. And I rarely see them plugging up for a charge. They have the 7Plus.
So, I'm sort of out here on what to do. My Note 4 does fine right now, except the battery life and an occasional random hangup or restart. So I'm not sure what's next.
I've enjoyed reading this thread for rationale from both sides.

So what can iPhone magically do when plugged in?

The iMessage app trumps all messaging apps on iOS, it isn't available on Android.
I live in a world dominated by android. iMessage is useless to me, yet I can send messages to iMessage from any messaging app on android.
It's a moot argument really.
If they made iMessage for android, then we could talk how awesome it is.

Ummmm. no. I send text messages using iMessage to my friends and colleagues using Android and Blackberry phones. Never had a fail. Not sure your point is accurate.
