Interesting comparison.

Apple's non-replaceable battery is a problem, although apparently the newer devices are somewhat easier to open.

I wonder if one should also compare quality and workmanship. I very much dislike the rather ubiquitous Android chargers. I've chewed up several cables, and repeatedly had issues with them, although my phones still seem to take a charge most of the time. 2 other devices won't charge.

Also availability of small parts. Standardization? I may be digging out charging ports sometime.

I believe the Apple plugs look more robust.
