1. Hardware button
iPhone's sunken physical button means its difficult to press it accidentally. I don't like non-sunken or worse, capacitive buttons especially if it can accidentslly kick me out of the current application. I dont see the point having two buttons to exit an application when using one all the time would do. I don't like having to press a button to reveal all the function instead of having all functions logically and consistently shown on the screen. I dont like seeing the red and green phone buttons because it cause accidental dialing and call rejection.
2. Applications
I don't like a market place that is open. Unvetted applications could contain malware and inconsistent user interface elements.
3. Fragmentation
I don't like seeing a different firmware for each region. It sometimes makes it impossible to pick my sets of languages. My applications may not run on the new phone when I change handset.
4. Bloated skins and Telco craps
I don't prefer seeing these.
5. Customization
With iPhone, the jailbreak tweaks all works on the same firmware. I don't like the rom cooking approach of customization because adopting one tweak requires one to throw out tweaks of another rom. I also like the ease and extent of customization iPhone allows especially in the area of gestures and buttons. I use this, for example, to start/stop/skip/repeat media last played while using an unrelated application, on home screen, on lock screen, or even when the phone is asleep. Android just can't be customized in this manner.
6. Vendor support
Whether it is giving free training courses in Garage Band, or replacing a phone, or ease of getting to them over the phone to get support, Apple has no rival.
7. Bugs and problem fixing
With non-iPhones, I often see the same bugs or problems repeating models after models, be it KIES, camera coloration, GPS signals, etc, despite user complaints. Apple on the other hand takes complain seriously and each model is a visible improvement over the next.
8. Android feels beta
It seems to be that Abdroid is evolving especially in how it wants to do copynand paste. I have seen so many methods and am annoyed to see many older methods floating around in third party applications as well.
9. I don't like rushed technology
I often see companies rushing to be the first to do things like LTE, without thinking through all the issues such as effects on battery life. We end up with bad user experience as a result.
10. Integration between iPhone, iPad, and Mac, the consistency and fluidity of the UI allows me to really enjoy using them rather than battling issues and problems. I can find my iPhone, iPad, and Mac using any of these devices, for example, is one of the long long list of subtle things that will be missed if I go out of the ecosystem.
