Compared to Android apps I can assure you iOS applications are significantly better. Outside of a few core Android apps the great majority of them are poorly implemented, and have half the value of their iOS counterparts. I recently (past month) tried to switch again. I really like Android, but I became so annoyed with the performance and usability of Android apps that I just sold my phone, and went back to my iPhone.

One example was a game that loads instantly on iOS requires some weird additional download on start that took 5-10 minutes to download. And this happened with each update of the application. Extremely annoying...a first world problem? Yes. But annoying.
