Android. Never had a smartphone that wasn't a Sony Xperia and no intention of changing that anytime soon.

I probably wouldn't mind it the other way round,

the one thing that annoys me about iPhone is you can't remove the battery if it needs replacing and you can't insert memory cards to up the GB

I think with that case you can change memory cards and stuff, it seems like a good idea to like back up pictures on and stuff and be able to get stuff you can't on iPhone

I've had both and I prefer my Android, for me it's the expandable storage and customisation that wins it. The malware thing isn't really a problem if you have antivirus or are just careful, and the thing about all the interfaces not being the same... I don't really see why that would be a con? Patchy support, I don't know I've never used it.
And you just have more freedom with an open platform, Apple are too restrictive imo.
I prefer the iPhone's general aesthetic, but that's about it really.

You forgot "Abysmal battery life" for iPhone

Always Android for me. Also finally converted my wife to an S7 last year, after years of iPhones

Nothing against iPhones but I've been Samsung since about 2006 and gotten used to them.

Android. They even closed the UI aesthetic gap with iPhone. iPhone is way too overpriced and can be quite limiting in certain aspects. The same as Jamie said.

Android. iPhones are overrated from what I can tell.

Shouldn't have to go on low battery mode and slow down the phone / dull the display just to get a day's use out if it .

iPhones are a fashion accessory, plain and simple. You can get a better piece of tech that costs far less. The same goes for pretty much every apple product, to be honest.
