IMO the Achilles heal of Android phones is the bloatware installed by the carrier. Apple wisely negotiated a sweet deal to lock out that sort of stuff from the iPhone. Sure the Android can be rooted and totally reconfigured but most people don't have the inclination to do that. When my family got their Galaxy S2 phones I immediately rooted them and installed custom cyanogen ROMs. Much better performance.

IMO Android products like OnePlus One reveal the true Android experience. Just wish I could convince my wife and daughter of that. They are determined to go with iPhone (5S - I never spend money for latest tech) this time.
