Honestly, I used to own an android until I was gifted an IOS. Personally I prefer IOS for me it's easier and seems a lot faster. The design and layouts look a lot nicer than Android. As well as that a lot of things are only compatible with IOS and not android which is a big disadvantage for Androids. However, Androids are definitely longer lasting than IOS and are really well-built. In the end, it's all up to the person, spend a bit extra and get something that is well known and a lot of use, however, may break, or spend less and get an android that will most likely last you years with no problems however have a bit of disadvantage and less support.
