I wouldn't say that ios apps are 100% better, but that being said a good 70% of apps are more polished than Android.
I think that Android is just hitting it's stride right now. With jelly bean and project butter it uses hardware rendering all around and the results are well........buttery smooth. Apple does have a much more polished SDK and I've heard that it's real easy to make ios apps because the screen size was standard on iphones (changes now with Iphone 5). So developing from Iphone 2G to 4S was easy because the screen size was same. Although the resolution was different it was scaled evenly. With Android, you have to optimize for different SoC's, screen resolutions and RAM configurations. To add more complexity you have to deal with different versions of the OS. But I'm a bit surprised at your stance regarding the Windows Phone OS. I have used Windows Phone 7 and although it wasn't my cup of tea, I do see very good potential. Probably the most potential from all the combatants right now. With 8, you can port Windows X86 apps to the Phone with relative ease. That would make the marketplace just explode. Anyway, Apple will sell a crapload of iphones, Android will sell a crapload also, and windows well.......we will see in the near future.
