iOS has always had more than android. However one problem with android is a lot of its apps will only run on certain phones where, thats a lot less frequent on iOS.

I like Android for its versatility.
iOS just works. I wish we had more customisation though :(

I'm not holding out much hope tbh. The same rumours were around for iOS 6, right?
BUT! Since then, haven't they got a new person leading iOS development?

Android has reached 48,000,000, so the two are incredibly close now. I imagine Android will overtake Apple very soon.
