really? I know plenty of Apple users that hate Android. Some for legitimate reasons like my wife who complains about how inconsistent the experience and interface is and others like some of the guys I work with who are Apple fanboys to the core to the extent they think Apple invented most of features they are using.
That seems unlikely. I'm, myself, an android "fanatic" and have built and distributed ROMs, and have code in the mainline kernel, and I despise android.
The more you know it the more you despise it. Once you've got a hang of the iOS quirks it's a much better dev experience than Android. No more 1000 different devices you need to test your code on because one Shit-tier Samsung phone does things "a bit differently".
Yep and conversely many hate Apple for the opposite reason, Zero flexibility, no choice, its apples way or not at all no matter how brain dead Apple's methods are.

The most common reasons I've seen for disliking iPhones are walled garden arguments and the luxury-item pricing strategy. Repairability and design choices also come up (head phone jack, sd card, non-replaceable battery etc). I think all are valid reasons and I can not think of a single "wrong" reason.
* I'm not spending thrice of what I'm getting. Period. * I'm not empty inside and don't need any jewelry to compensate. * I'm an individual, in control of my own things and life, so I don't need a legal guardian. * I have a normal healthy brain, so I do not need a padded safe space and a simplified interface for disabled people.
And I hate Android too. For the exact same reasons. It's just the one a hate a bit less.

Iphone is usless for tech geeks. Even installing apps outside the playstore is not supported!
MacOS / iOS developer for a total of 36 years here. They don't come any more geeky. The iPhone is extremely useful. It makes phone calls, has a camera, a flashlight, plays music, video, audio books, has an internet browser, email and messaging, and an alarm clock. I can download a few million apps or install apps that I wrote myself. That's very useful.
What you apparently find useful is something I'd just call phone masturbation.
I hate them both too, but which Android phone or tablet can I get that can actually compete with a $399 iPhone or a $299 iPad?
I had to pick one though, so I went with an iPhone because at least Apple is not an advertising company.
Now, if they would just let me easily build and deploy apps onto my own phone. I can't find a way to do it without jumping through hoop after hoop.

No, the reasons are pretty clear:
* I'm not spending thrice of what I'm getting. Period.
* I'm not empty inside and don't need any jewelry to compensate.
* I'm an individual, in control of my own things and life, so I don't need a legal guardian.

Cydia exists [cydia-app.com].
Beyond that, it's free to build and deploy apps to your own phone. If you aren't building your own apps are you even a tech geek?
