My very first touch screen smartphone was iPhone 3Gs, i liked it a lot because I was using it only for daily usage like you mentioned. One day I decided that I want to change to Android phones because I like the customisations and how advanced it can be (but also troublesome at the same time). But after 5 years of using the so called advanced Android phones, I am now back to the simpler iPhone 6s (iOS9 is so much more matured that iOS version on 3Gs back then). No longer wanting complicated stuff and no longer obsessed with customisations. So if you have the budget, I suggest iPhone.
