I applaud your courage to want to write this article, this is a sensitive subject for some. Both systems have their pros and cons, Apple does have the Software/Hardware optimization advantage because it allows apple to control exactly what kind of product uses it. Android inevitably takes the Blame every time Alcatel makes a crappy phone or some manufacturer uses poor conductors. But Apple's overpriced closed system isn't loved by everyone, And I am not particularly fond of being told that I have to change my phone literally every year because apple decided that some feature was no longer cool. I Kept my DROID MAXX for quite some time and it kicked ass, I dropped it a million times and it was responsive and looked great. Android worked great on my DROID. Apple will get up one day and decide that you need a Stylus, so they'll take a Tooth Brush and file it down and sell it to you for $99 dollars...... No thank you.
