Looking this question from JW point of view both are bad. What about the selfishness of I phone, and Android is not any better, it is referring to some obscure science fiction, which is not real and thus from Satan. You should avoid both, so sorry.

Half of our company uses I-Phone and the other half prefers the Droid. I've had more complains on the Droid side. But I don't know, I haven't familiarized myself with a droid as much as the I-Pnone.
Let a coin toss decide.
Anything that can contact apostate sites is from Satan. You should get the NEW WTBS$ Flip Phone. No satanic internet. 411 is handled by brothers in at the "Compound". Only calls to approved publishers get through. It is discounted to $99.00 per month...with $90 going to the "WorldWide work" at the COMPOUND.
I just got the Droid Bionic a few weeks ago. I love it. It does things a lot faster than the other phones I have had. I've never had an Apple so I don't know anything about them. My brother-in-law has an Apple and is thinking of going to a Droid because you can't pull the back off and change the battery yourself. He said it will cost him $200 dollars to have them change the battery.
I was so glad to see this thread b/c I am debating the merits. Are iphones and droids basically the same? Reading the posts I am confused. Is it a matter of personal preference? One concern I have is how fragile the phones are. A friend treats her iphone with kid gloves. She says they break easily. You can't it treat it as a regular cell phone. How careful would I have to be? The battery issue sounds very important.
Band on the Run: The iPhone is more user-friendly and currently has fewer bugs. There is no 'killer feature' on the Android platform that you will miss.
I have an iPhone. No complaints. I have friends with Droid. No complaints. At first we used to argue which was best, but I quickly realized it pretty much came down to personal preference. I bet if I had gone Droid instead of iPhone, I would have been defending it against the iPhone.
I think it comes down to what features you need the most and which one is better suited to what you do with your smartphone.
If you're one of these guys, I don't think it really matters which one you choose...
Android and iPhone are two different aesthetic approaches to mobile operating systems. If you want a mobile OS that is highly customizable and tweakable in a bazillion different ways, then Android is for you. If you want a more seamless and smooth and pretty OS but with less tweakability and (a little) less baked-in functionality, then you'd probably like the iPhone better.
For me, the tweakability and customize-ability of android fed into my OCD tendencies a little too much, so I switched to the iPhone. I do miss the stock turn-by-turn navigation of Android, but the maps application on the iPhone is generally good enough for my purposes. I also miss the Swiftkey keyboard available on Android but not iOS. But I like the one-button iPhone approach vs. Android's four, and also the app availability that is still quite a bit ahead of the other OS's.
Windows phone is another option you might look into. It's a bit of a mix of Android's openness and iOS's smoothness and ease-of-use.
I have never missed having Flash, and mobile Flash is going the way of the dinosaur anyway.
i've had the droid backflip for 2 years and it has always seemed slow to respond compared to hubby's iPhone. I do love the widgets, but he has shown me some of the newer items available on iPhone sftw. I'm taking the apple plunge in a month, and dragging mom and dad into the 21st century with us. I feel keeping the same tech they will have questions about is the best, and apple seemed a better fit for them.
I have had my iPhone 4 for just over a year, it is awesome.
