Is the iPhone Better Than Android?

I just have a stupid-phone, which I use for. . . phone calls! So I don't know anything about 'smart' phones.

However, my daughter and her husband just got Androids (on his parents' family plan), and she was showing me all these tricks the gizmo does.

Over on HotAir, there's an iPhone thread,

where some claim the Android has had voice-recognition like Siri for some time now. In the comments, there's a link to this hardware comparison:

So I'm confused about all the hullabaloo. Is the iPhone any better than the Android? If so, why?
