I didn't see much of an opinion – just facts.
Some other facts are, the iPhone doesn't need a removable battery - that is a red herring and has been proven out by the millions that continue to purchase upgrades to the iPhone rather than go with a new Android phone with a removable battery and the constantly extremely high customer satisfaction rate far above the Android user satisfaction.
Android phones (all the ones that I've seen) require an SD slot because they are so anemic with internal storage.
4G is great except that nagging ability to keep a charge when you use it. And, according to the reviews, except when you are downloading large files (even with the Galaxy S 2, there is no advantage over the speed that the iPhone 4S gets on browser usage - in real life. Solittle speed advantage for very little battery life. That mean that one place where 4G would be terrific – streaming large files like movies – is made moot because you can't watch for long before you battery tanks.
In my opinion, Apple is offering the best real-world experience for the most people. The exception is for the very cash strapped where you can get very, very cheap Android phones instead of a feature phone. However, no one really wants those customers because they don't buy things. They are broke. Do anyone really think that if every adult in Ethiopia had an Android phone that Google and its advertisers would see much financial benefit? (no insult to Ethiopia intended, just a place that came to mind when I think of poor). No they wouldn't. However, you can bet that Google and the Android press would be trumpeting the additional millions of Android handsets in use!
