No, they're worse in terms of apps. Phone apps vs tablet apps. iOS seems to have a better game selection too. Sometimes you have to wait months for a game to be available on android. It's harder to find a suitable alternative for games compared to other kinds of apps. My nexus 7 wasn't even compatible with some apps for no apparent reason. It's not like it was old outdated hardware.
You also can't back up your tablet and restore exactly the way it was without having to jump through hoops (at least on nexus tablets). The android tablet experience just sucks in my opinion mainly because of the apps (I use a lot of apps). I really tried to like my nexus 7, but I ultimately couldn't stand it. I always felt like I was missing out. It's been sitting in my drawer collecting dust for the past few months.
I'm not a fan of iOS backup system due to its system setting all or nothing stance.
Any time anyone has a problem with their phone the solution is always "restore as new". So what's the point?
Point in case, the iOS 6 message bug that still plagues certain users. In short it was a bug that waste space on the phone and in the backup. If affected the only ways to fix it is using ibackbot modify the back (jumping through hoops) then restore to that backup. Or restore as new. The issue moves with the back up.
All Apple needs to do (I say that as if this is something easy lol) is put an option to or not to save messages to a backup. That should be an option anyway.
Btw I'm not saying Googles method is any better because it's always been somewhat mysterious to me. Albeit I never spent the time to sit down and figure it out. However when I have reset Android devices I've never had an issue losing things. I just have to set my icons back up and stuff, which I MUCH prefer then completely restoring as new.
