Well there are marked differences in the manufacture quality of phones..... I find LG phones to be weak in signal strength in my area, Samsung phones I have used have a much better signal. Motorola work very well too. Iphones work very good.
There are large differences in carriers too. ATT&T in my area has spotty coverage, Sprint works great, Verizon (I just switched to them from 12 years with AT&T) works very good.
There is a difference in operating systems from Android based phones to Apple based Iphones. HOWEVER they do the same things.....IE:
The icon to get to your photos on the Android platform is labeled 'GALLERY' on the Iphone... 'PHOTOS'.... both do the exact same thing... allow you to view your pictures... if you get used to one operating system, the other seems odd.
So three things need to be considered.
1. Which operating system do I prefer, Iphone or Android?
2. Which carrier has the best deal, and the best coverage for my area?
3. Which brand has the best reviews, customer service, reliability, etc.?
Smart phones are a combination of many things. Trying to package a lot of things in one space usually means something has to give. If I am trying to put the biggest baddest camera in a phone, maybe I don't have room for the best antennae......
