Dumb Phone Question

I have read trying to figure out the answer, and I really am not getting anywhere. Please keep in mind that I am not a technical person, and am allergic to all things having to do with hardware.

I am ready to buy a new phone. I have been trying to figure out exactly what is meant by an android phone. I get that it refers to the OS, and I think it is is open source.

That said, I am not able to take that and translate it into what it means to me as an end user. Keep in mind, I have not previously owned a smartphone. I have an Samsung that allows me to go online and has a gmail app, and that has worked for me so far.

So what is the big difference between an android and an iphone for a non technical (well, more technical than grandma, but not a coder) person?
