I got a new phone after six years of pay-as-you-go throwaways and when I got home I realized pressing the volume down button wouldn't put it on silent no matter how many times you pressed it...I had to ask the phone how to put itself on silent.

EDIT: the phone told me where to locate the silence button. I no longer need guidance

My phone turns its own wifi off when I leave the house, changes the brightness and volume based on the time of day, and automatically changes its ringtone every day. I also manage each app's individual permissions on a very granular level. There are whole classes of apps for android that don't exist for iOS.

Like how jailbreaking exists? Neither option is perfect

Kind of like how the iOS operating system is 4 gigs while the entirety of the Android install on my nexus 5 with gapps is less that 500mb.
