You really need to use both to appreciate all the subtle refinements that comes with iPhones.
Androids still feel clunky compared to iOS. Select text and it lags and selects blocks of words, where with iOS it's so incredibly smooth rolling across each letter with your finger. Pinching and zooming, scrolling, same. The iOS is incredibly fluid and responsive, where you can feel the lag, hesitation with Android.
Then there is the battery life, the iPhone is insanely efficient compared to every Android phone by a huge margin. Not sure if it's the actual battery or how well Apple has optimized their software to consume as little resources as possible. Start multitasking on the EVO or Droid and it just becomes absolutely ridiculous.
Then there is the screen resolution. The IP4 has a resolution of 960X640 on a 3.5inch screen which = 326dpi
Androids 4.3inch screens have a resolution of 800X480 which = 216dpi
The text is incredibly sharp on the ip4, the screens are nice on the Android phones but again you really need to play with both to appreciate just how sharp the display on the iP4 is.
Then there is the size, the IP4 is quite a bit slimmer than the rest. That's really here nor there though, the Androids fit in my pocket fine.
That being said, there are features I like on the Android over iOS. Widgets definitely being one of them. The filesystem is another, (I hate having to use iTunes to synch my phone). The custom ability is also nice. It's only a matter of time before Android catches up, but IMO, they aren't there yet.
