ios seems stable and apps are more optimize and look high definition but hardware is kinda outdated.. but on android its the other way around great hardware poor software and many apps take personal info(cred details,..etc) with or without consent

Yeah yeah yeah...Fanboyism at its finest. Better Price? That must be Samsung Galaxy Users who find they're cheated by Touchwiz. If you want an Android just look other than about Samsung, Oppo, Vivo.

Why does GSMArena not do a proper comparison. That would bring out just how bad iOS is, instead of user opinions?
What is the value of this opinion, when the facts speak for themselves?

iPhones are smaller in general which already makes the user experience better. And SE is unrivalled.

How surprising that a poll conducted in America of an American company and a non American company shows......Wait for it...That people would favour the American company lol.
Also "Better user experience" translates as lazy people who don't think outside the box. Most people use IPhones because there "Simple and easy to use"
Before any Apple user starts crying and leaping to there defence, Please take your phone off that banal Xylophone ringtone which all Apple users seem to never take it off lol!

Back when people buy phone just for the features or price but when iPhone came along and the mentality Steve Jobs put in these people, they think they are above the average people when they own an iPhone.

Koloure, 24 Aug 2018Sorry to hear that, I have both iOS and Android,
And I lik... moreYeah, those results ... it's the opposite for me.
I really do not like stability, speed and reliability of my iPad Pro. It's great hardware (not counting Apple stylus, that is really bad in terms of design and ergonomics) dumbed down by poor software quality.
I personally have almost zero issues on my Android devices, iOS, on the other hand, feels like a beta.
I am really looking for iOS 12, but I don't have my hope too high.
I know many people that like their iOS devices, but I certainly am just disappointed with the experience.

I note also the poll was only in America,
It would be interesting to see what the results were if Europe were polled? ( I am in UK)

I can attest to this. I have both devices. While both aren't perfect, in my opinion, iOS has a generally simpler and easier to use interface (assistive touch is a big help, too). On the other hand, I get to fine-tune appearance, layouts, and settings in my Android accdg to my preferences.

If one looks at parameters, switch from Android to iOS is largely due to user experience. Which means iOS is all about user experience.
When it comes to features, it's more or less at same. Or say about hardware. People feel Android OEM offer better hardware, but in fact hardware and software together delivers a total user experience, not just hardware. That's what iOS and apple is all about. And Pixels line is trying to prove same idea.
Higher RAM and higer battery doesn't mean it's better and efficient.
Still I dunno why people hate iOS and apple.

I switched from iOS to Android, basically cos of Freedon that Android offers in terms of memory accessibility as well as in terms of customisation.
My experiences with Android (Clean) has been pretty consistent and reliable, almost as good as iOS.
Also, in Android, there is really a vast range of devices, you can get what you want/prefer, and maybe omit something not that important to you. I mean, you have a SD 845 for 21000/- INR odd (350$ US). Or else if you want a great camera & a comparitively sub par chipset, you have options for that as well.
Though I'd say, try to stick as close to stock android if you want fluidity & consistency.

Better user experience?? Not surprising considering Android Pie's navigation UI is gesture based (though you can switch to software buttons, sadly not on upcoming Pixel 3).
