I asked a similar question in the android central forums about why they choose android, and I'm curious why we all here choose ios over other OS's like android or windows phone? Is it app ecosystem? Lock in with purchased content? The experience?
I know the things I like about ios (and what will probaly ultimately draw me back to it from android) are that I feel I don't need to fight or manage my device on ios. I turn it on, it does what I want, and that's it. It's not doing tons of background stuff, it's not using unnecessary thing that waste my battery or my data, and the UI and apps as very polished. Not to say android apps aren't polished, I just think most ios apps have a little extra layer of polish and thought.
Also, I feel like I have less compromises with a ios device than I do 99 percent of android devices. I can't find a android phone that has a great camera, great battery life, great performance, gets timely software updates, and that I don't feel like I need another launcher to enjoy the Interface. There's isn't a single android phone that ticks all those boxes. Things like the moto x you sacrifice camera and screen, HTC ONE you sacrifice timely updates, and so on.
All modern iPhones seem to have great batterylife, great camera and all the other things I listed.
